From ArthurS: New Year new techniques (5 points)

Hello Everyone,


This year's challenge I wanted to start of with painting this Titan Forge model I acquired at the Crisis in Antwerp. 

I intend to use it for dnd as a foe for my players. I intentionally painted him verry dark to show he is a bad guy and I made the base a sandstone-like colour so it contrasts with the mini itself.




 
Speaking of contrast this is the first time I ever used contrast paint wich I used for the green. For the armour I dry brushed the grey basecoat with silver and then a nuln oil wash on top. Using a basecoat in an other colour then white or black and then using it as a layer is also something I have not done before.  


This 28mm figure is good for 5 points and makes sure I am not thrown out of the Challenge by the Snowlord. 

At this moment I have several projects on the go and am not sure what my next entry is. Untill next time, Arthur.

  5. I wouldn't like bumping into that chap at night in a dark alley, believe me. Great work

  6. Great work on this villain Arthur. He should give your players a bit of a pause before jumping into combat. I especially like the recessed effect on the haft of his war mattock.

  7. Great job Arthur! Well done for trying out some new techniques- it often needs a little bravery, no-matter how long you've been painting:-)

  8. Nice painting. The green and sand base are a nice contrast to all that armor.

  10. I appreciate how you've differentiated the base from the figure- often overlooked!

  11. It's simple, but there's always something menacing about painting the recessed elements of a helmet black, as if there's nothing under the helmet. Green trim on a gray uniform (or armor in this case) is always a good choice, and you've done a good job there.

    Not somebody I'd care to face in a dark alley either. Not the best place to be lobbing a fireball.

  13. Fine work Arthur. This looks like the sort of fellow that causes one to prefer the path of negotiation? He looks great.
