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.

Hi there,

some more updates. all the below points have now been done since last update.  He is complete except the base.

I am starting with ice blue then highlighting that up by adding white.  Then I'll be using my crushed glass mixed with water effects. then a quick dust of crushed glass.... contrasting black base.

As with all projects, I am freaking desperate to get it finished to move on to the next thing :D 

• skin highlights
• gold highlights
• make the black black then highlight.
• highlight the green areas.
• hair highlights.
• eyepiece.
• BASE (looking forward to this.)

Marneus Calgar, hair, metal, armour, leather

Hello,

Marneus Is getting very close to completion.

todays done list:

• hair basecoat
• armour highlighted and completed.
• metal basecoated.
• leather completed.
• details made white.

to do:

• skin highlights
• gold highlights
• make the black black then highlight.
• highlight the green areas.
• hair highlights.
• eyepiece.
• BASE (looking forward to this.)

Oh and I have got a High Elves Warmaster army. I count it as a fair bit over 1.000 points.

• 3 units spearmen
• 3 units archers
• 1 unit chariots
• 1 unit bolt throwers
• silver helms
• the other cavalry
• general on dragon
• general on giant eagle
• general
• wizard
• hero
• 10 casualty markers.
• the rulebook
• giant eagles...

think thats about it... and for 40 quid!! 

I have started work on the spearmen... The previous owner has used a white base coat.... I don;t really like this but I dont seem to get any daylight hours to paint very often.  

The compromise is to black wash the miniatures then paint.  It might end up working really well as it adds shading and depth but doesnt dull the colours too much.....

Marneus Calgar - Cloak

Spent ages on finishing off Marneus' cloak tonight.

It is finally done. Colours involved: black, blazing orange, blood red and scab red.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves on the process:
