From MattT - Ninja (Chamber of Darkness ) + Curtgeld - 85pts

Had this group of Ninja on my painting table for ages, waiting for the perfect moment to be painted.

Level 1 - Chamber of Darkness

This week was my first attempt attempt at painting greyscale with this group of Ninja. Not sure if its a bit of a cheat as they are mainly black. Definately fit the brief and am really happy how they came out.

I added some pink to the paint mix for the skin tones to give the colour some more warmth compared to the metal's to which I added just white. 

Wasn't sure what to do with the basing and ended up painting some grass tufts which turned into a right pain but came good in the end.

8 x 28mm model + bonus = 60 pts

Curtgeld

My price of entry figure is an Anglo-Danish Huscarl with patriotic shield, so he remembers where he has come from.


1 x 28mm model = 5 pts

Thats all for this week, stay safe. Matt

  1. Hi Matt - love the Ninjas. Plus the Huscarl looks great (remember my birthday is in May if you are thinking about a present - some of those painted up would fit perfectly in my army - well would stand out as painted better!)

    Can others help me with quick Q - is the Curtgeld for everyone or just those doing the Chambers part??

    Cheers Jez (MattT older brother - but looking younger!)

    1. The Curtgeld is the entry fee to the challenge in general. So not a matter if one takes part in the race to the Altar of the Snowlord or not.

  2. Great figures Matt. The ninjas work well in the greyscale and that’s a fearsome looking Huscarl.

  3. Very nice work on those Ninjas, especially considering it was your first take on greyscale. I've painted a fair few figures in that method myself but have never thought about adding pink into the mix for the skin tone. The results are quite striking indeed.
    Also the Anglo-Dane has come out top notch. As Curtgeld he also nets you a further twenty points.
