Bones 4: Maggotcrown Ogre

[HolkDiggity]

I'm just about finished with my final piece for ReaperCon, and I needed a break. I needed to paint something fun and with no consequence. I've been eyeing this sculpt from across the room, and I just decided to go for it. Nothing super crazy, just some true metallics, which I haven't done much with in some time. Enjoy!

Good job!

I really like what you did with this, if I get to painting this one soon I think I will do something very similar.

So good! Love the paint job and the figure.

Really like the base and the dark, grim look of his armor

Noice!  Where did you source the base from?  I like the color you chose for the mail.  Looks good and provides a nice contrast.

Thanks, y'all! If you're interested in how I made the armor look kind of gross/ruined:

 

I first painted the metal as normal, by basecoating and then shading/highlighting. After that, I used GW's Typhus Corrosion technical paint. I used it as a shade, but the key was that after I put it on, I wiped the figure off in a downward direction with a makeup sponge. This left the corroded effect in the depths. After that, I retouched the highlights.

 

I use Reaper paints for just about everything, but I have to admit that I enjoy GW's technical paints every now and then!

Thank you! The base is from Secret Weapon Miniatures. They make some amazing stuff and I highly recommend them!

Genius; will have to try this soon! I love that dark, pitted, cast-iron effect.

Yeah, that Typhus Corrosion is pretty cool. Its got a mild grit in it or something. It also works well if you put it down before adding rust effects!
