Redhandstudios Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 wow. My only gripe is that I would have something to distinguish the strappy things on his tabbard. Outside 'o that....wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I did this using layered metallics like I did those Lupines a while back. Looks great.... Speaking of Lupines..... You ever get my PMs from the last 6 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFall Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 wow. My only gripe is that I would have something to distinguish the strappy things on his tabbard. Outside 'o that....wow. Well if I'd not been short on time I would have just taken them off. I've never really understood the point of them on various Warlord figs, but just roll with it. I guess I prefer to just paint them the same so that they are there, match the scheme, but don't just out and say look at me, I'm a strap to nowhere!

mooseyjoe Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 O man. You are really trying to make me spend money I don't have on the O-lords. This guy is my new favorite warlord sculpt and he aint even a lizard!!!!! awesome job. I really like the "black metal" look that you got going on his armor. Youg get 5 grrrs for this paint-job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wizard Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Compliment and question: 1. I thought the hair was outta-site. Very Elric-like. 2. What is NMM? please advise...... Mr.Willard (real-life paladin, aka physics teacher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyPuncher Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 2. What is NMM? please advise...... Mr.Willard (real-life paladin, aka physics teacher) Non Metallic Metal... using non-metallic paints to simulate the metallic effect. Think confrontation minis or the stuff Ann(e) does for Reaper in the painted showcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordColdsteal Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Wonderful work! That metal work is amazing! Thanks for letting me know how it was done.. gonna have to try it myself. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wizard Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks Bunny Puncher. That NMM technique reminds me of some of the early airbrush art circa "Heavy Metal", where you assume a very shiny surface and are painting reflections. Definitely an advanced technique! 2.

dewen Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Awesome job. I love the colors and metals. Makes want to rush out and get this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 This figure looks great. Just a few colors in the whole figure but they look great. I do love the metallics work you have done as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFall Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just a few colors in the whole figure but they look great. Thanks, I appreciate the comments. Yeah I try to keep my colors down for two reasons. First I like simplicity and I think it's very easy to over do a figure. Second because he's part of an army, the fewer colors, the easier is is to replicate across the whole force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
