Marneus Augustus Calgar - Completed

Hello there,

completed the base work on marneus calgar! water effects and crushed glass..... (mixed together for first layer in first two pics.... then dusted on top for second two...)

Next project is the Warmaster Army!

I have also taken delivery of a couple of 10mm armies :)

I need to take a fair few photographs first though..........

Warmaster High Elves test paint completed - Marneus base work

I have completed a test paint on the high elves.  Looking good actually, I wont be bothering painting them all black...

Also did some work on the base for marneus Calgar, quite happy with the blue ice look :) Some gloss varnish over the top as well. Just need some crushed glass over the top!

Oh did some white edge highlights on his armour as well.

Marneus Calgar Cont'd... Plus basing materials

Good evening,

Work continues apace (kinda) on Marneus.

I have used a leather colour on the strips that hold the ultramarines symbols around his waist.  Added in some green details, I decided on that colour for the tassels to go with the green detailing on the shoulder pads.

Yeah...tassels... I know, not very butch.. meh.

Also washed that brown colour with agrax earthshade and detailed some more gold on the sword and shaded with the same.

A blue wash has been added to the white details as well.

Getting near to the point where I can no longer put off starting to highlight the cloak and armour.  Once that is done things will really fall into place.

I also took delivery of my big basing materials pack which I snagged from eBay.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I think it is 21+ bags of different gubbins.

Some of the stuff looks the same but it is just a similar shade really.

Bonus picture of my basing materials drawer... I have a prep/paint additives drawer and two little paint drawers :D

Game of thrones base completed and a new paint thinner

Elo there,

second post on my mac - exciting!

I have finished work on the game of thrones base, using quite a bit of birch seed leaves, brownish flock, and a teeny tiny flower/bedding plant weird thing which I think is amazing!

Also made up a new thinner batch, 50% water, 50% flow improver and 10% slow dry... I think that I have overdone it on the slow dry, possibly not though, it is a total pain in the backside to get the slow dry to mix with the water/flow improver as the flow improver is kinda soapy and the slow dry is gloopy!

some pics:

Game of Thrones Base + next project.

I have applied the washes as mentioned in the last post to the base. I drybrushed all of the stone up through dheneb stone and white. (same with the urn) The wood had some more of the brown colour with a bit of snakebite leather on top before a pure devlan mud wash.

next project will be marneus calgar, he narrowly beat out the nurgle champ!

Just in case you did not know who he is  Marneus Augustus Calgar

TL:DR (hard as ****)

Game of Thrones - base

This is my attempt at a base to place my two Game of Thrones chaps on. It is the fight between the mountain and oberyn martell (3rd book IIRC)

Drybrushing only at this stage, 3 flavours - pot/wood/stone.

Washes and lots of drybrushing will make it look a lot more natural.  Thinking black wash for the pot, greeny/browny/black wash for the wall and a blacky/browny wash for the floor.

I know it looks more outdoor than indoor and the wall looks a bit funky sitting there but sue me it's my first big base.  Looks pretty awesome already IMO.

really like the job I did of the brown on the characters bases, refreshing to see it smooth instead of sand/gravel.

Looking over those pictures now I maybe should have gone Terra-cota for the big pot..... but it is a nice contrast.

Da Big Orc & Da Big base

Base constructed and primed, also primed the WAR Orc... Thought I had screwed up priming him but he dried out looking good.

The Mountain - Armour highlights + base design

I have come up with a random pot luck idea to highlight the armour.  I used space wolves gray and a bit of shite in with the mythril silver... Check out the pics, it looks really good actually, does not photograph very well (it probably would if I put any effort into taking pictures)

Anyway the armour is done! I had a little bit of a shot working on the layout for the base as well check it out! (I am clever so I used paint)

my weathering pigments may get an outing here... hrmmm...
