    Already guys it's crunch time:

    My long-term painting commission client split a riftforged orcs mega army with me. I'm building and painting his 40 orcs, orc leader on wingless manticore, and 3 cyclopes in a week before I go down to pick up more projects next weekend.

    This thread will be testament to that. I could have put it in my main blog but considering the time factor I thought it would be nice to have a separate thread and then link it as needed.

    It begins now:

    Resin models for the commission washed and de-sprued unless required.

    Good luck with getting it all done in less than a week ;)

    Though if your client wanted to use them in Kings of War, shouldn't you have used the supplied Mantic square bases rather than a load of Wargames Atlantic rounds?

    He does not.

    Kevin collects to use things as various factions in his rather sprawling DnD setting.

    All of the Infantry from his half of the army set is built.

    I'm about to start on the resin pieces which for him would be the storm caller on manticore and the Cyclops.

    One of the recent Mantic Sculpts that I fucking love. These are the three for my commission client, but I have three for myself. I'm probably going to get more because they're lovely models.

    I'm a little bit behind on posting. Everyone is primed black now. Painting will begin in a couple hours.

    I don't.

    Mantic plastic models are medium detail. They are best for basecoat/highlight/done.

    The wingless manticore?

    Successive drybrushes of reaper weathered stone and then Vallejo game color off white.

    Snout, scorpion fang and back spines were picked out with skeleton horde contrast. Scorpion thing got some beil-tan green shade afterwards.

    Snout then got highlighted with off white.

    Tongue got picked out with volupus pink contrast.
