I hate it but I know that's because I imagined the box art. Now time for the other three 😁

... two hours later; f****** piece of s*** flesh tone f****** coverage garbage!

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

She may be The Mother of Nightmares but she's a complicated character because ... uhh ... I can fix her ...

Objective markers used to be 40mm wide, and, randomly shuffle their labels sometimes - so - I had the brilliant idea (6 years ago?) to make these little things ... I've now finished one of them ... which is nice ...

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.

This model introduced a need for the feathers and such - so - I acceded to using the Gryph Charger Grey contrast that was in Stormbringer, and the Carroburg Crimson shade I'd previously not used. This was also the first model where I really tried the "puffy paint vines" and ... I need more experimentation with it.

Fun Fact; with this model done I've painted all the Stormcast from Soul Wars. I say that's a "Star Collecting" equivalent using Dana Howl's rubrics. I also claim "Boxed Game" credit since ... y'know; ALL OF SOUL WARS!
