I did the WarHammer World hobby workshop project and got it only slightly wrong 🙂

1 (Sun) Day? 1 (Chaos) Dwarve!

It's the mini of the month - I intend to do a full Underworld warband but I don't have those models yet 🙂

There are enough details on this that I dislike that I don't expect I will do this like this again. I really need to practice my dry brushing, and, learn to double check whether or not paints will reactivate. 😤

Usual VLog is here

Painted the base rim at lunch, then picked out the top of the Vine with fuchsia making the whole thing just come together as far as I'm concerned. That's a good one done.

This guy, and his friends, are an attempt by me to speed TF up with these models. I think ... it's worked ... maybe. I'm loving the results anyway, and, I'm now fighting the urge to go out and purchase the Spearhead set when they're done

I painted "Stab Grot" on a whim recently ...

... and he's a lil treasure ...

... so naturally; he needed a friend in the form of KillaBoss

... and they're cool.

I wondered how I could "improve" the recipe and tried a single Gutrippa ...

... which was interesting but a bit "dull" on the read and green colours.

With StabGrot and KillaBoss I'd used a mustard coloured "Heavy Goldbrown" to undercoat both. With the Gutrippa I blasted the drbrushed model with some Dalner Rowley yellow ink.

I needed more/better approach! I assembled the rest of the pack, and, put texture paste on the base before slotting their feet into place. Probably should have *only* done that under their feet to reduce the amount of Dryad Bark I'd need to use to recolour the Stirland Mud after priming.

I tried to mixtures for priming black-black-grey and black-grey - I preffered the later, which is on the left. Ataraxia Painting Studio advocated for this approach to SlapChop - using a grey rather than a black as (in my words) it leaves some areas that can "get more dark" when you apply the washes. (Her videos have a manic on the verge of breakdown energy so ... go watch) Though I'm not convinced it was needed here, it did seem to look "better" ... but was a bit more satin than I'd like ...

I painted up these most recent two, adding white to the shield and trying to "airbrush" on the yellow ink only where I needed it.
