Made good use of the holiday today..

I'm off to throw some dice now - but not for the Fort.. It's not ready to play yet

Da Krew is on board, named them Ed, Edd 'n Eddy..

[copperforge]

We'z got us one o'dem walkin'oomie Boss Rocks, Lads!

[copperforge]

Made some progress, I'm glad I had some Ardboys back in the box.. Also, the 'Oomies should build their stuff a little roomier 🤨

Hey, uh. GW.

What the fuck are the chaos dwarfs doing underwater

[copperforge]

Valid question.. 🤔

Furthermore - Delle! 😂

[copperforge]

The King's Stones are done 😊

Quite pleased with them, as they have rather little horizontal'ish surface to put snow on, really. So I had to try and get as much on the sloped bits as possible while keeping the literal balance of snow sticking on and falling off..

For that I tried to add some piles of slipped off snow 😁

Converted my Neave Blacktalon into a Word Bearers champion.

[copperforge]

That looks damn awesome dude!!

She's a perfect fit, really!

[copperforge]

And while we wait on some wintery moss tufts we start on 1/2 of the Karak Argonath 😏

Those are big lads!!

[copperforge]

Yeah, that's how imagined the snow terrain situation to play out ☺️

[daves-miniature-adventures]

Dude, this is sick!

The snow effects look great, where is the scenery piece from?

[copperforge]

@petepaintswarhammer once again supplied me, with a table full of awesome Dwarven City Terrain.. I'll paint up the rest soon to have my Snow Map complete with matching terrain! ☺️

[copperforge]

I also took the lads out to Emberguards Shattered Crossroads..

Let's just say the raid against the Sentinels of Emberguard went very well 😬

Forge Spider / Canoptek Spyder

Not gonna lie, this is probably my best miniature to date. I had a plan for the OSL shining from the bottom of the spider, and I think I executed it pretty well! It's always a good sign when you have to keep doing double-takes to see if it's actually an LED in the miniature you just painted. I got so excited about the OSL that I almost forgot the touches of gold on the tops of the legs and front of the carapace.

Starting off the Orc and Goblin army with my Giant (Dankhold Troggoth) and Trolls. The Troggoth is such a cool model, I want this to be the centerpiece for my army so whatever I paint with this guy should help decide the colors for the rest of the army.

And because I always forget, here's the skin recipe so far.

Watered down Woodland Camo airbrushed over a zenithal highlight. The lighter skin on the stomach and under the arms is a 50/50 mix of Middlestone and Charred Bone, watered down and airbrushed. The darker skin on the rocky backs is 75/25 mix of Camo Green and Black.

They've got a ways to go but I'm already really happy with how they're looking! Since I've had these models one of the painting ideas I've had for them was just "Really Big Goblins" so I wanted them to be green with yellow bellies!

[maniakminis]

Barnacles added!

The ears and nose were painted with Tuskgor Fur. I may go back and further blend and highlight at a later point.

The barnacles on the darker skin were based with Mahogany. The lighter skin was also based with Tuskgor Fur. These spots were then highlighted with a rusty orange-red color, similar to Acryl's Red Earth Texture paint. To get a color like that I mixed Acryl Burnt Red with Mournfang Brown.

Getting the right shade of orange/red is super important, this is going to be the color for all my squigs, banners, armor details, and topknots for my Orc army.

Troggs, Troggs, Troggs, Troggs, Troggs, Troggs,....

A problem I'm currently having :

I'm working on the 5 Flesh Eaters I just printed out, and from the bases to the models themselves, I'm doing a FAR better job of painting them. I've updated my techniques across the board, and now I'm going to have 5 that look okay and 5 that look awesome. What do you do about this problem??

[copperforge]

I for one enjoy looking at my first painted models and think "that's where I were" then look at the newer ones and think "that's where I am!"

And then put them all on the table to play and can't see the difference anyway because I'm not wearing my glasses 😅

Finished up my contemptor dreadnought. Reasonably pleased with the result- not my absolute best work, but respectable. Particularly happy with the gold of the chest eagle.

[copperforge]

Okay, hold on, I've got to reblog that again.

Just came from a hike and haven't had a good look but now - would you all please take a good look at this bit in particular??

Holy heck, that's beautiful!! The glow of the lenses, the highlights and weathering on the chest decoration!?

The chipping on the edges, the scratches,... Dude!

[jakey-beefed-it]

Finished up my apothecaries except for enamel weathering, and got a start on my Ultramarines specific contemptor dreadnought. Will finish him up and then do the weathering on all three; it's not really worth the hassle of breaking out the pigments and mineral spirits unless I'm doing more than a couple little bases.

[copperforge]

Fantastic work, my friend! 👌🏼

[copperforge]

Thanks for all the love for my Spearhead terrain 🥰

Makes me want to travel down the terrain experiments road even more!

And I have loads of printed stuff that just needs to be painted and I have IDEAS now.. 😏

First and foremost will be the Dwarfen Hold stuff I've gotten through Pete and which is a whole set of table... Something snowy, so I need to try things out in this style 😎
