Well, just a bit of aluminium-coloured highlights on the top edges and then worked on the eyes.
My daughter and I have been playing this game and the mongrels kinda of scare her. She wanted more cool colours instead of red, but she did want one to be red.
I really enjoyed these guys - probably my favourite to paint so far. Now, we're onto the heroes and then the bosses.
I really enjoyed painting these - I used Vallejo metallics through the airbrush and that saved me oodles of time. I'm not sure if my shading and highlighting worked as well as I had hoped though.
The washes are all done... just some airbrush of the eyes' glowing and base to go. I didn't feel like cleaning up the airbrush again so I called it a night.
I forgot to post the finished result. I'm the least happy with these minions for the game thus far, but was a good learning experience on what not to do next time.
I don't know... pretty easy. I tried my hand at wet-blending a bit around the face. Tried to blend a grey-blue into the dark teal.
This is just after all the washes.
I've been going at these guys for a couple of days. It was really in the ugly phase for a white... if you understand what I mean. I guess it all came together. I'm not too happy with the bases... the problem in the game is that the location changes so much that there really isn't a base scheme that would fit (from carpet to a junkyard to a town, etc.). I'll go with just black for now until later in the game I notice something that captures it perfectly.
My daughter and I have started playing a game called Stuffed Fables from Plaid Hat Games. It's an okay game... it's cute. I started priming up the models to paint tonight. They seem quite simple so hopefully they go quick.
And.... we're done (well, pretty much). I got the basing done tonight except for painting some white lines on the turf and did the transfers. It sucks that the core box doesn't come with transfers... they're in the pics on the box... I have been using the dwarf ones.
I probably won't post a pic with the lines done, so I'll leave the evidence off here.
I just got all the highlighting done. I actually like highlighting the white this go around. Since I used a zenithal prime up, when I painted a really thinned down base colour in all the colours, it auto-highlighted for the most part so that saved a lot of time. Only one helmet had to be redone better.
I just have to do the transfers and basing and we're done!
Got all the base colours and all the washes done. Just highlighting and basing to go!
Haven't been motivated in the evenings. During the day, yes, but not a reality to paint during those times.
A little bit of progress before my wife asked me to take my turn with the puppy.
Well, it's time to take care of the other half of the Blitz Bowl set. I have a backlog of these teams, so best get on it.
I have two human teams, so one will be modelled after the Philadephia Eagles (because of the logo) and I think the other one will be the Atlanta Falcons.
I decided to try out the away uniforms for the Eagles since that's what they wore the last time I saw them play on TV last week (I'm a Seahawks fan in reality, but I'm saving that scheme for the elves team).
I started with black primer, than a 45° zenithal spray of grey primer, followed by a top down of white. This will allow me to have some differentiation in the white (while most of it being grey). That's the theory anyway. I'll brush on the forest green on the pants with a brush.
These were super easy... not necessarily quick, but not much thinking involved. I'm not sure if I like the flayed skin... I wasn't sure I should add blood or these guys have had the skins for a while. Since I have little kids, I went with the latter.
A bit of highlighting
Well, it's been a long time since I last painted this guy. I am out of practise - especially on the edge high-lighting. I just have the sand to dry and then I can dry brush it to finish it all off.
