My custom handmade Malevolent Moon for my Gitz army is completed! To make this cursed object I started out by using a Halloween skull resin mold I found in a hobby shop. I then built up the moon shape first with a wire armature and filled it with air dry clay.

I covered the clay with miliput to get the shape more final and make it more durable (pic 2).

I then used green stuff to sculpt in the details of the face and build up some of the skin areas (pic 3). Then it was a case of painting.

Painted up something a little different recently. And Ork Howitzer from Kromlech. My aim is to play Bolt Action using some Rogue Trader Ork models for more Weird War vibes.

If you wouldnt mind, could you tell me what paints/techniques you used for them, because im heavily considering the purple/dark metallic vibe for my own Eternals.

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you like my paint scheme! I did them as a practice run for my Lethis City of Sigmar scheme and I refined it a little over the course of doing it. More than happpy to share my process with you:

Prime all black.

Airbrushed Led belcher silver all over not caring to be neat but making sure the armour is all covered.

Then Used Vallejo Black dip wash (but brushed on) as an all over wash on the armour. Now this wash is heavier than nuln oil and leaves a bit of a dirtier finish (which is what I wanted) but a good black shade wash would also do.

I then drybrushed the armour in downward motions with Led Belcher silver to catch the edges and make it less dirty in places where too much of the dip wash settled.

I then layered on Army Painter Shining Silver on bits like chest plates and the edges of things.

For the purple parts, do these steps after all the silver:

Base with Barak-Nar Burgundy

Nuln wash the Barak-Nar Burgundy parts

Layer Barak-Nar Burgundy over the top, leaving recesses black and dark, to begin to bring definition and shape to the area you're painting.

Layer 50/50 mix Barak-Nar Burgundy with Screamer Pink (this was like 2-3 thinned coats), continuing to build up the shape of the area you're painting.

Layer Screamer Pink.

Then highlight 50/50 mix screamer pink and Vallejo German Camo WW2. This is to be done sparingly and if the transition is too harsh, wash over it with a watered down Screamer Pink.

Rust on the armour: I watered down to a wash consistency some Doombull Brown and applied it on parts of the armour where rust would appear. Like in gaps and around bolts.

Some snooty Vampires for my slow grow Soulblight army. Really love these miniatures. For me Soulblight are my painting project army, with not a huge intention to really play them.

Ice to see you...
