1 (Sun) Day? 1 (Chaos) Dwarve!

It's the mini of the month - I intend to do a full Underworld warband but I don't have those models yet 🙂

There are enough details on this that I dislike that I don't expect I will do this like this again. I really need to practice my dry brushing, and, learn to double check whether or not paints will reactivate. 😤

Usual VLog is here

Objective Marked

Not much to say here. I wanted to mess around with some techniques and approaches, and, I have had this idea have finished for a few years.

I painted "Stab Grot" on a whim recently ...

... and he's a lil treasure ...

... so naturally; he needed a friend in the form of KillaBoss

... and they're cool.

I wondered how I could "improve" the recipe and tried a single Gutrippa ...

... which was interesting but a bit "dull" on the read and green colours.

With StabGrot and KillaBoss I'd used a mustard coloured "Heavy Goldbrown" to undercoat both. With the Gutrippa I blasted the drbrushed model with some Dalner Rowley yellow ink.

I needed more/better approach! I assembled the rest of the pack, and, put texture paste on the base before slotting their feet into place. Probably should have *only* done that under their feet to reduce the amount of Dryad Bark I'd need to use to recolour the Stirland Mud after priming.

I tried to mixtures for priming black-black-grey and black-grey - I preffered the later, which is on the left. Ataraxia Painting Studio advocated for this approach to SlapChop - using a grey rather than a black as (in my words) it leaves some areas that can "get more dark" when you apply the washes. (Her videos have a manic on the verge of breakdown energy so ... go watch) Though I'm not convinced it was needed here, it did seem to look "better" ... but was a bit more satin than I'd like ...

I painted up these most recent two, adding white to the shield and trying to "airbrush" on the yellow ink only where I needed it.

I'm ... satisifed but not totally "happy" so I'll keep tweaking it. I think that tonight I'll matt medium to the primer and switch back to brush-on yellow.

#BlackstoneFortress we have my version of #DahyakGrekh today. The cream coloured armour, red cape and blue quills spoke to me and the rest ... tumbled along terribly. I love him but I can do better.

Somehow while shopping around for the white Boxy Girls body, I got suggested these utterly ridiculous "Hamstars" toys. So of course I attempted to order the blue one but after paying the seller told me they actually didn't have any, now waiting on a refund there. 😤 Then I ordered the hot pink one and it appears to have shipped so maybe success?

They have "growing" type hair out the top, and twisting their tail winds it back in XD

Can't tell if the accessories on their heads are hard fixed in place or if I can remove it.

I really haven't been able to find out much about these. The website named on the box doesn't exist. Apparently made by Tiger Head Toys but not mentioned on their website 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I decided not to fuck around in case they disappear, that's why I bought one so quickly. Will post when/if it gets here.

#ReinAndRaus for #BlackstoneFortress are what I'm showing off this ... Tuesday.

(EDIT; I've reattached the pictures. Not sure what went wrong)

Hush! I just passed a birthday - I can walk backwards through my Instagram for content
