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
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!)
ReplyDeleteCan 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!)
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.
DeleteGreat figures Matt. The ninjas work well in the greyscale and that’s a fearsome looking Huscarl.
ReplyDeleteNicely done Matt
ReplyDeleteAll awesome figures mate!
ReplyDeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteAlso the Anglo-Dane has come out top notch. As Curtgeld he also nets you a further twenty points.
Great looking ninjas and a superb Huscarl!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Nice work Matt. Love the Viking!
ReplyDeletelike the Huscarl, and ninjas are good too
ReplyDeletecheers
Matt

ReplyDeleteNinja is greyscale, top thinking there, like it, cool Curtgeld too
