I am really struggling to get the ECW unit finished here with all the details that exist on them. And then this guy ( and some of his pals ) arrived in the mail. So I cracked him open immediately and went to town on painting him up.
I made sure to make his colors the same as the rest of the Human team. Trying to do a more grey pants/trouser section, with his armor sections being the team colors. He has a lot of leather sections and metal parts also.
What I don't like of my painting of him was how the skin turned out. It was really a struggle for some reason compared to the rest of the team. Then again there is a lot more skin on this bad boy compared to the rest.
I thought that the orange inbetween the grey sections on the trousers would look good, and I think it came through in the end.
Here he is now alongside the rest of the team. And I am looking forward to seeing how he does in games coming up soon!
Oh and a quick shot of him compared to a regular lineman before I started the painting. Standing quite a bit larger than 40mm in height, he wont be the biggest mode on the field though. Just hope he is big enough in the end!
ByronM: Well done Kyle! I really like both the figure and your paint job on him. I like the skin tone that you used a lot as the darker shade suits a big figure that is likely outside getting a lot of sun most of the time. I also love the shading on the pants and shoulder pad. He makes a worthy addition to your team. Great work.
Great work on this figure Kyle! I like the blue uniforms. Is it just me or does it look like he's leading the team in some sort of dance in the group scene?
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely piece of work Kyle - I think the skin tones are spot-on :)
ReplyDeleteImpressive Work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, can you imagine him thundering towards you on the field? I know I would RUN AWAYYYYYYY! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteBlood Bowl is never something that really "got" me, but I have been impressed by how much the fans of the game loved it, and sympathized to see a well-loved specialist game so badly mishandled by the GW clowns.
ReplyDeleteSo it's great to see it has come back, and neat to see some more Blood Bowl in the Challenge! Well done, some excellent brushwork Kyle.
Yeah it is a bit of hit or miss, but for a beer/chips game, or to get junior into the gaming habit a bit, it is a nice intro game.
DeleteWow Skin tones to die for, great work and a fantastic looking figure
ReplyDeletegood stuff.thats a big lad alright. like the skin tones
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Kyle - good to break up a big project from time to time, and this big guy is probably the best antidote to pike block ennui. He's a corker, well done!
ReplyDeleteHe's one big brute! Excellent job painting him up.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this new figure before - fantastic job Kyle!
ReplyDeleteWell I think the skin colours really work on him. The veins are excellently done.
ReplyDeleteIan
Excellent painting!
ReplyDeleteNicely painted. A strong addition to the team!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best Ogres I have ever seen. He should add some Omph to the human team.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint. Much appreciated the comment!
DeleteGreat addition to your team! Definitely brings some much needed muscle to a human team
ReplyDeleteYou've absolutely nailed the skin tones, great stuff. And I was a bit confused by your comment "he arrived in the mail so I opened him and started painting straight away" as I thought all figures had to endure a certain amount of time on a shelf somewhere before being painted? I thought it was the law.....
ReplyDeleteIt is the law, but then you also have the side law of shiny.. which can override the sit on shelf bit, or at least push another unit/model back onto said shelf ;)
DeleteThat's a great looking team!
ReplyDeleteOoh he's great, really nice job. Is he from Forge World?
