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.








Oberyn Martell - Completed

OK he is 99% done.

A lot of work was done on the surcoat and I'm now pretty happy with it.  I also gave him leather shoes (aint I kind), finished off all other bits and bobs.

Oberyn Martell's Surcoat

Evening,

some work done on the cloak - not sure the front especially looks right, not enough depth, need to either deepen shadows or lighten the highlights?

looking over the pics again I think it might be a bit of both with more deepening of shadows on the front.

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.





Oberyn Martell - "The Viper" Cont'd...

Basecoated his surcoat, completed, the gold/bronze helm/shield. basecoated and inked the scalemail/chainmail. (love the dark sword sculpted chainmail, no idea how they do it.)

plus bonus hasslefree fantasy hero set (as I am calling them now)

















The Mountain - Finished??

Mucked about with the yellow a bit, sorted the base, did his sword and scabbard... think he is about done... take a look, oh and bonus basecoated nurgle champion.

Oberyn Martell - "The Viper"

A start made on this dude.

Basecoat mythiril on the steel, basecoat snakebite on the gold/leather glove.  Also a start made on the patern on his chest, very instricate, no idea how I am going to paint it... i might try a drybrsh and just make it a lighter red than the rest of his surcoat.

too fine detailed to paint onto it...

Oh and his face was basecoated and washed... forgot to do his bare hand... d'oh!  I have pictured the paints I am using for the skin and they are mostly new shades, nicely expanded skin range from GW.

Also a gryphonne/violet wash for the skin is looking really good. bit of violet is so nice.
