Painting Fyreslayers - Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire


This is my second set of models that I've manage to finish and i must say that I really enjoyed painting these guys! First of all, the models look amazing and there are almost no tricky spots to paint. Secondly, the size of the warband is just perfect. With my previous project I often had the feeling of being overwhelmed, this did not happen with these four lads. Sure.. the closer you get to the finish line the more eager you become to just wrap it up and continue with your life, no matter the size of the project. I for example got a bit lazy with the bases on these models, and I did not paint eyes as they were very small and after a several tries I decided to skip it. But besides that, the small size of the warband allowed me to always have a clear sight on the end goal and I didn't have to paint for too long sessions to achieve progression.

For the paint scheme I pretty much went with what they list in the tutorial on warhammer Tv, but with a few exceptions. I wanted a paler skin tone then they had, so I went with the same paints as I used on my ogres. For the fabric they painted it all black, but I felt that some of the details would get lost by doing that, so I went with red for the larger areas and black for details. The blue parts on the weapons is also something I wanted to add just to get a cold color in there to contrast against all the orange. I probably should have painted this up as a crystal-like material using regular paints, but I wanted to see what just glazing ink over a metal color would give me.

Over all I'm happy with the result that I got with these models. I learned a ton and I will definitely continue to paint more warbands. Who knows.. maybe we have enough warbands for a full game of Warhammer Underworlds before we know it.

Stormcasts Eternals - Stormsire's Cursebreakers - Green & White

Bild
So I finally got around to finnish up my Stormcasts Eternals warband- Stormsire's Cursebreakers. This is the second wardband that comes with the Warhammer Underworld – Nightvault box. Im going to be perfectly honest with you guys, stepping into this I didnt really care much for stormcasts at all. Even though the story about how sigmar created these worriors have some interesting elements, essentially their still just dudes in golden armor. So in order to not get bored at them before I even began I knew I had to at least change up the color scheme a bit. My first instinct was to swap out the gold for steel, but although I really like to bring out details with metal colors, painting with them is kinda messy. So instead I ended up white, green and red as my primary colors and metal for weaponds and details on the armor. In the end Im actually very happy with the result. I do think that I could have pushed the highlights a lot more. The green for example loo

Pirate Nurgle - Lord of Plagues

Bild
So I'm finally done with my Lord of Plagues. Feels kind of weird to be honest.. this guy have been keeping me company on my desk for quite some time and now that it's over it feels kind of empty. Unfortunately I did not save a full list of paints for this project. As this was the only miniature I was working on, I didn't think to much of what paints i was using. I just grabbed what I felt I needed at the time and slapped it on the model. However I am planning to paint more Nurgle, this was such a fun theme to work with and I think I can push it way further. So I'm going to try my very best to keep a paint list for my next model. If you want to know more about the theme I picked for this guy and what modifications I did to him, check out my build post here.

Putrid Blightkings - Build - Part 3

Bild
So this is going to be the final post in the Putrid Blightking series. Not to say that I'm done with nurgles in general, but these minis were finished one and a half years ago and I don't see myself picking up this project again. Even though this was supposed to be a bigger project, I'm not at all sad or ashamed to cut it short. I'm extremely proud of these two guys, I learned a ton painting them and they always occupy a special place on my miniature shelf. The paints used on these guys were based on a Master Class by Darren Latham on youtube. I of course didn't have all the paints that he had, so I tried my best to mix up my vallejo game colors to match what he was doing whenever I had to.
