I have not painted anything in a while. When I saw the Cygnar Battle Box I could not resist painting up the set.
Big steam powered metal robots that have a mental link with my general is just way to cool. I know Warmachine has nothing to do with warhammer but its still the same type of game. I will be posting the rest of the army as I paint it up. I may also post how I am doing it and what I am using.
This set did not take long at all. I used only 3-4 colors and some washes. The general is also an alternative modle to striker. A really cool local sculptuer hooked me up.
Dwarf Flesh
Washing is my new love. The best use for pre-made washes has been models where you can see the face. It completely brings the model out in a new dimension when you add a layer of shadow.
Second Dreadnought
At some point many years ago I spray painted my Dreadnought blue. Now with my new wash skills I have added a layer of shadows. I think this look much better now for highlights. This should be fun.
Wet Brushing
You have probaly heard of dry brushing before but now I have discovered a brand new technique. I call it wet brushing. It happened almost accdentaly, having just mixed my white paint with water I had lots of paint left over on my mixing stick that I did not want to waste so I took my wet brush out of the water pot and dried it off a bit then wiped some of the paint off the stick. I did the same thing as I do with dry brushing but just left the paint a bit more wet this was the result. A battle worn speeder.
Second Marine
I am also started working on my tactical squad. I used lots of paint mixing and watered down my paints for this model. My highlighting is still kind of random but I think it turned out ok.
My First Wash
I went to the hobby store and dropped $4 on my first wash. It just hard paying $4 for something so small. Now I am finally going to be able to paint my Dwarfs Faces. Much washing soon to come.
Scout #2
I can’t say I am in love with the way his friend turned out but I can use him on the table top. I am going to try dry brushing the whole model first next time and see how that works.
Panting Dreadnought
I think I like the new paint job 100% more then old one. We will see where this goes. The plan is just to keep it simple. I wanr to magnetize his arms but I don’t have any close combat Arms.
Scout
This morning I painted up one of the scouts. I used only a few colors and left most of him just black. I think they look better if I don’t try to paint detail. When I get better at detail maybe I will give it a try.
Make Your Own Ink
I don’t know about you but for me doing the face of a model is my least favorite part. If the face of a model looks off it messes up the whole model. I wanted to put some darker ink on the face of my scouts to make them look a bit deeper. I have not bought any ink so I made my own. I just got scorched brown mixed some dish soup and water in until it was very watery then I just dabbed on a bit. here is what I got.
Green Troll
I know my green troll is not a revolution in painting but I was going for simple. Painting the troll was simple and fun because i already knew exactly what I was going to do. I told my wife I would paint all the guys first before we play so she is holding me to it. I am working my way there. I would like to get some inks for the skin of the dwarfs before I move forward with them.
First Space Marine
This is my first go at starting to paint Space Marines. I am going to keep it simple with blue and black. I attempted some highlight at kind of random places we will see how this model shapes up.
Super Cool
I am working on a new model. This has to be the coolest warrior type model ever. I want to field him in one of my army’s but he is nether Dwarf nor Goblin. Maybe I will just use him like a big Dwarf =D.
New Orc
Today I had another game with Shane. It was a great game! After the game I decided I needed more wizards for my army. This was one of of models I got from Mr. Lux. He did not have a head so I improvised with bitz. Let me know what you think. Click thorugh to see step by step.
Orc Shaman The only edge the Goblins seem to have over the Dwarfs is in magic. In anticipation for my next fantasy game I have painted up another Shaman Model. One thing I love about this game is you can really use just about any models you want in your army. Thanks again Mr. Lux! This model was super fun to paint.
