Blog My Slow winter workshop

Not the fastest painter and have a habit of doing a unit or two then nothing for years

but have recently returned to wargames after a 8 year break and trying hard to be productive

 

started this last night a lot to do but uncertain how I will progress as I have never painted anything this big before unless you count tau crisis suits

strangely been enjoying the claws and spines

 

Welcome back to the hobby! I'm loving the colour of your bastiladon's shell

 

Only the first layer always been a battlefield ready painter but want to experiment

 

I think he is done now tempted to do a little dry brushing (the rocks will be when I base him up ) but uncertain will have a think on it

now I need to move onto the solar engine and repairing of the skinks I managed to sever from it

 

This little pile of flying lizards was dropped of for me today so will have to add them to the list uncertain which version they are

will see what the saurus knights look like when I collect but might just leave them be for now

 

ok then picked the box up and more than happy saurus knights are metal which is a bonus , all metal terradons but two types of head so worked out I can use 6 for ripper ( think they will be ok ) and 3 for terra just need to strip them down

plastic skink priest and chief and a metal old blood

6 bases of metal jungle swarms

plus loads of extra bits and bobs

 

more added to the pile they are all undercoated white so tempted to wait for the contrast paints

and try some really bright colours , or the other option is a sand lizard look similer to the bastilidons underside

any opinions would be welcome

 

Had some time this afternoon think they look ok but need to do the riders View attachment 56269

 

Playing with contrast paint

 

orc skin

 

sheilds are salamander but find that to dark

 

now you mention it I have a stegadon sitting in my kitchen at the minute undercoated

was going to use the orc green and then darken up the raised scales

 

made a start on a stegadon today

 

a little messing close up but from 3 foot away its looking good

 

Nice looking green
