Ifalna's Miniatures

Oop sorry for lack of updates for a while, been picking away at some gorgeous little figs I've finished the skin and hair on today and have small updates on a few different models! My new aquarium arrived a bit over 3 weeks ago and inhaled all my spare time to get it stable and cycled, but I have more time to paint again now ;) #miniaturepainting #ifalna #painting #miniatures #wargaming https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVKE4mnzkF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tez3xhfokjus

Face base finished (may add a couple of light wrinkle highlights later depending on how the cloth finish turns out) and I'm wrecked and ready for bed. #gw #miniaturepainting #warhammer #40k #ifalna #paintingwarhammer #eisenhorn https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuK5ffnw_d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fieqpgwrc3ey

Base done bar details I'll pick out as I work on him, time to block in his colours so he looks like a toddlers art project. #gw #miniaturepainting #warhammer #40k #ifalna #paintingwarhammer #eisenhorn https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuBQhwnef4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ci8j4slds4te

Giving Eisenhorn and the burrds a gentle blow dry to speed up their wash drying. Row of paints at the back right is the pallete I'm sticking with for Eisen, drink on the left is my Pepsi cherry I've washed a brush in three times already this session. #gw #miniaturepainting #warhammer#40k #ifalna #eisenhorn #paintingwarhammer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnt4ED6HsQB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pbj6dthq1gc0

Layer 4 on the stripes, when this is done the whole carapace gets glazed down, then about 3 more highlights at smaller strokes and it will be done and I'll start on the skin. Going crazy doing the stripes already, lol. #gw #gamesworkshop #tyranid #neon #miniaturepainting #mini #40k #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #ifalna https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCbXYUDie3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5i1vq1g19e2s

Matte coat down, picking out basic carapace pattern now. #gw #warhammer #40k #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #tyranid https://ift.tt/2PIbRBJ Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Airbrushing finished on the neon Haruspex, next up is to matte black him entirely, and then start blocking in thr skin and carapace patterns. Carapace will be turquoise patterns, skin patterns I'm thinking blue, but he's going to stay mostly black. #ifalna #paintingwarhammer #gw #gamesworkshop #tyranid #neon https://ift.tt/2wmjHIy Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Now to shade it down in the recesses, bring it back up to neon yellow after, and start on the black to red fade claws ;) #painting #warhammer #40k #gw #ifalna #tyranid https://ift.tt/2BOCP7Z Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

I hate finecast so much. So much. #gw #ifalna https://ift.tt/2NjfyfN Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

OK, time to get prepped for a painty weekend. #gw #ifalna https://ift.tt/2P5FGLL Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Mmm. 👌 #gw #warhammer #40k #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer https://ift.tt/2w76zIa Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Fist batch of goodies arrived! Mmm can't wait to try those mattes. #ifalna https://ift.tt/2nT5sat Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Here is something interesting! I'm trying out a new ultra matte black as I am sick of sheen reflecting my lights and affecting my photos, there is only one layer on the carapace here but the effect is crazy. Its very, very, very black. I won't go further as I'll be airbrushing a lot of his bits before working on the black areas and will likely gloss the shell anyway, but it will be interesting to see how it's going to take regular acrylic as it has a rough finish. #gw #gamesworkshop #tyranids #ifalna #40k https://ift.tt/2vI1HJ6 Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Also, it's him, the boy! #ifalna #gw https://ift.tt/2MgU8DH Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J

Pulling a gang sign to try and display these together, but really happy with this little horrible face panel and it matches the rest of the knight well so far. #gw #ifalna https://ift.tt/2BdcCQm Ifalna's Miniature Painting https://ift.tt/1t9NC3J
