Gobbla - completed
Colours for the bone areas.
100 scorched
100 snakebite
50 snakebite - 50 bleached bone
increasing amounts of bone added and layered
100 bleached bone
50 bleached bone 50 white
100 white
100 white drydrush to blend the colours a bit.
Stitches: 100 snakebite, then 100 vomit
I have painted in glos varnish to the mouth as well. The yee areas have been painted with a 98/2 mordian blue & white mix, I then put this on as I would imagine eyeshadow is applied, gives his face more depth.

Gobbla - Teeth/toes/spikes
Quick update here.
I have painted them in scorched brown, then im doing a snakebite leather/bleached bone highlight finally a bit of white. Was thinking of highlighting the teeth a bit more white than the toes and then the spikes on his back a bit less white to differentiate them a bit. You can see the base of the bone items is a bit darker.
Was going to do his spikes/toes a grey colour but forgot!
I have also basecoated his stitches (going to make them leather and not metal....)

Gobbla - Scales & pink FTW
Hello,
Scales have been completed. The blend looks a bit rough close up and thanks to a tip regarding the iphone camera the shots are not quite so sucky.
Pink - I accidentaly touched a bit of skin with warlock purple and tried to rub it off with my finger, It didnt come off but left a cool pinkish touch too the flesh. I liked it so much I mixed up a batch and highlighted the model in it. I like the look of it.
Starting to see a couple of things ive done horribly wrong with this model, I should never have washed it and I should have been much more tidy when applying the basecoat, so much touching up to be done. (I painted the basecoat over the scales) And I should be steering clear of foundation paints, too much pigment. And I should have made him red!
The scales have been done with liche purple. A familiar colour mixing pattern is emerging.
1. 50/50 Liche & Black
2. Liche
3. Liche and white progressively white and layered on. Under a macro lense it looks unattractive and cartoonish but normal viewing it looks cool.
Pinkish Flesh:

Gobbla - Mouth
Started the mouth today.
Very Long and possibly pointless progression of colours. maybe it wasn't pointless though...
1. 50/50 scab red & black
2. 75/25 scab red & black
3. Scab red
4. red gore
5. warlock purple
6. warlock purple and increasing amounts of skull white
I think it looks great! when the varnish goes on it should remove a lot of the chalkyness. Some tidying to be done as well.

Gobbla base/highlighting
Done some work this weekend.
It's Astro grey mixed up with white then pure white. I need to do a lot of tidy work and I went back to look at the model the next day and notices I did not do enough detail work on his face, particularly around the eyes (bags under her eyes). Plan to work on that today. Not 100% happy with how he is looking, but the idea was a challenge, Would be much easier to pump out a red/orange.yellow etc...
thinking a purple shade for the armour plates on his back.
(horrible photos, tried natural light/lamp light)

Gobbla - wash 1
Said I might not wash, but screw it I am going to. First is asurmen blue. I think I will then go around the armour plates on his back and some really deep recesses in badab black or 50/50 asurmen and badab.
Wash Looks good so far:

Gobbla - basecoat
Yo,
Had some thoughts and the colour spectrum i had before started far too dark...
Astronomicon blue basecoat, about 3 coats, last of which is more of a wash. next stage is asurmen blue wash then back on the with the astro... The finish on the basecoat is a smidge grainy, could just be extra pigment in the foundations...
Check out the wet palette! (dark pigment was rising to the top... dunno why.
that is the same biscuit by the way!

Gobbla - Colour theory?
That's what I'm calling it anyway.
took a picture of the nerdiest thing in the galaxy - my painting journal.
Shows colour progression of a mordian blue/astronomicon grey through astro grey/white...
This is for Gobbla and his palid blue scheme, I expect the dark blues to only remain in really recessed areas, I want him to be really pale but still have depth. NO idea how this will turn out, might be horrid: and im not sure if i want to use washes or not.... apologies for scrawl...........
looking at that im not sure that 1,2,3 and possibly 4 really tie in with 5-12........ but is 5 dark enough for the darkest colour?

skarsnik and gobbla - Assembly and Prime
I filed, clipped, washed and dried the parts.
The model needed a lot of green stuff work as you can see, I used a two parts green one part blue green stuff mix so it would be a little softer.
Before I primed them i actually submerged the can in hot water and shook it before and after, just in an attempt to stop bloom from the undercoat, probably complete luck but I didn't get any bloom at all. really nice finish. I thought it was a horrid old wives tale but seems to have worked.
With spare green stuff I made some little toadstools which I may use...(seen it done on CMON) Gobblas mouth on his right hand side was not fitting together at all so I did a greeen stuff patch job and I plan to hide this even further by shading/highlighting as if the raised area was there.... (even though its not because my green stuff patch job wasn't that great.. Some pics below:

Empire Captain - Complete
Firstly, I need a bigger junk box.........
Finishing touches, Yellow plate on his front, some more highlighting on the gloves, Ivory/bone handle and skull on the shield.
Shield was scorched brown/black base as with the gloves but was highlighted with increasing amounts of bleached bone. To keep the colour really wooden and not leathery... if that makes any sense.
I was worried how the wood would turn out but it looks ok! Not totally happy with the yellow plate thing.... I thought about doing a quarter design with purple but I think the purple would just not look right on the light base required for the yellow.
I made the skull a less realistic looking bone because i reckon it is not really bone? how can it be in that shape!
base i just going to be inked brown and drybrushed, nothing fancy.
really enjoyed painting this guy! would maybe pick blue next tiem for the shirt to contrast with yellow, or maybe do the cloak a different colour from the shirt.

Further detail work - Leather - Furs - etc
Firstly, new bit of kit for keeping my junk in purchased!
Gloves are basecoated 50/50 black/scorched, then scorched brown added, then some bestial brown added, then a little more, then a pure bestial brown mix added. Need to do the little rivets!
The furs were easy, basecoat astronomicon gray, wash ururmen blue, then 50/50 astro and white drybrush finally a white drybrush. The colour choice was purely for contrast. The bronze details are basecoated with that 50/50 scorched/black mix then tin bits, dwarf bronze and finally shining gold highlight.
The houlder plate thing has been basecoated white for adding colours, possibly solid yellow? the scrolly things are basecoated bone for some kind of parchment-esque paint job later.
