Vil-hatarn Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Here's the WIP log I was talking about starting like...three weeks ago. I decided just to do all four models in the log, as I'll be working on them at the same time anyway. So, here's the unpainted pics (though the monk is primed) The monk conversion is a Reaper monk model (don't remember which one; it's pretty recent though) with a GW dark elf shade sword blade pinned on top of the staff, to make some sort of nasty-looking polearm. And here's the basecoat on Rath Nashanneth: Hopefully, the NMM will come out well (I have yet to actually finish a model with NMM, so this project could end prematurely...no wait, it can't. I need these for D&D. Arrgh. Well, these might be stripped depending on how they come out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Looks like a great start Vil-hatarn. Cool conversion on the monks staff, works well. That's one of my favorite sculpts. Keep painting and post often :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Sorry I'm taking so long. Here's a shot of most of the basecoat for the monk: I'm still not sure if I like that green or not, but otherwise, I'm happy with the color combos.

Vil-hatarn Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Sorry this is so slow. Here's some work on the sorcerer: And since I've got nothing else to post, I figured I'd add some commission army men I'm doing: You can't really tell from the photo, but that mini's a good 3-4 inches tall. There's five others to match. Oh yeah, his arm isn't attached yet. It's holding his rifle, and that would have caused problems as far as getting paints where they don't belong, so it stayed off. For now. Hopefully, I'll be updating soon, but I'm gone this weekend, so maybe not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Here's the next round of pics: The sorcerer with purple and some more red added, and... I've painted a lot more in the khaki tone. Most of the remaining work is details and highlighting. As always, any suggestions/comments are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yay! More pics. The first two are a test model for my warhammer (and probably warlord) elf color scheme. I'm not too happy with the highlights on the robe, but I can fix that when I actually paint them. Next, some more work on my monk. I've added detail work on the clothes, and painted the eyes. Yes, they are bright blue (he's psychic). I don't think anything else has changed on him. And finally, some work on the sorcerer. I've added to the armor, though I think it will have to change, as I've given up on NMM and am trying demi-metallics instead. Comments welcome.

Mastertickles Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I like what your painting! I like the bright magenta on the sorcerous! If its ok I'd like to show you a drow I recently did. I went with a real deap purple skin and cape. The armour is a purple metallic paint. Just wanted to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Nice...I've been having trouble with that model, it might get dipped and repainted in a different scheme. The two-tone armor is a real headache. (trying to use NMM didn't help either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yay! An update less than a week after the last one! Here's my newer version of Rath- I gave up on NMM, so have switched to demi-metallics. I might switch some parts back to gold, just to keep him from being a two-tone model, with only black and silver. Same deal with the sorc- switched to demi-metallics (haven't done gold yet) On my test scheme model, I've finished basecoating, added some brighter highlights on the cloth, and messed around with the belt a bit: And finally, some barriers/fences/fortifications I'm working on: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertickles Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hey Vil I like the two tone metallics Looks great try the gold it will help give him detail and add to his composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Devalis Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 JUst put of curiosity, what do you consider demi-metallics? What I do is undercoat with a corresponding color, then thin a metallic considerably before brushing it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 On the base, I'm mixing equal non-metallic and metallic paints. I might do the highlights with more metallics in them, to really get them to stand out, but my current method is just a 50/50 mix of matching colors- propaint armor gray with propaint steel plate and GW boltgun metal, gw codex gray with gw chainmail, and gw fortress gray with gw mithril silver (not much of that). Still have to figure out my gold mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
