phanboy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Okay...So I have 2 starter boxes of Warlord that need some paint, but I've made a solemn vow not to touch them untill I clear out my catalog of Warmachine. In order to help me along on this task (I've been running out of steam lately) I decided to start posting my pics here to get some style critiques untill I get to my Warlord Catalog! So here goes!

GeekGirl Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I really like the look on Ogrun Bokur's face...kind of shifty, like he's watching you out of the corner of his eye. Looks like he could turn around and attack the camera at any minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm gonna say, before anyone else does, that you need some washes to bring out the details. The paintwork will really benefit from some simple wash techniques on the metallics as well as the rivets on the armor, the fleshtones and the leather straps. The painting looks good, but an extra bit of depth would go a long way to giving these guys some more life. Experiment on a test figure if you have one to get the feel of the right consistency of washing and glazing. Brushthralls has some great pointers on washing Warmachine figs in particular, check them out at Brushthralls techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Ok in my insomnia glazed brain it took me a moment to translate what this meant: Dail uppers Flea now! Dial-uppers flee now. For a while I wondered what a dail upper was and if they carried those pesky biting fleas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden54 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm with DarkStar, a few darker washes might do these guys some good. I love how they look, especially Gorten's Gang, looks like something straight out of mega man lol. Good job with these guys, I like your color choices.

billr Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I think your painting is nice and clean. The minis could use a bit more highlighting and shading though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanboy Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Here's some more...Not sure I'm really feeling the metallics on these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Drifter Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think your painting is nice and clean. I have to agree. Even the rush job is very smooth and clean. A little more contrast mixed with that clean application of paint would be extremely cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep_sashelas Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The washes on your second batch does them wonders. Much more deep contrast and gives a dark, gritty, realistic, weathered effect. If you like the look, stopping at this point is fine. I especially like the slight green verdigris effect on the shoulder guards. If you want brighter colors or to bring out the metallic effect again, just drybrush them or go over the metal bits with a quick, thinnish layer of metallics. (Have you realized yet what direction we're ever so slowly nudging you? Basecoat, shade, highlight. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyfungus Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Excellent stuff. Two hours is a rush job? For me thats a long hard slog, but then my results aren't as good as yours so there ya go. I had no idea warmachine figures were so *weird*.

Prophet Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My fave of the lot is Ogrun Bokur, but the skull faced guys look awesome as well. Prophet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
