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.

Hello Arthur
Great to have see you in this years Challenge!
It's terrific that you are trying out new techniques and having such success. I really like contrast paints too! Good luck with your DnD game

Nice painting job! Really menacing foe.
ReplyDeleteGreat figure Arthur and excellent use of contrast paints.
ReplyDeleteNice clean painting, Arthur, I think he came out very well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work
ReplyDeleteLovely work! That’s quite the blunt object.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like bumping into that chap at night in a dark alley, believe me. Great work
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Arthur! Well done for trying out some new techniques- it often needs a little bravery, no-matter how long you've been painting:-)
ReplyDeleteNice painting. The green and sand base are a nice contrast to all that armor.
ReplyDeleteWow, Wow and well, wow. What an amazing job you've done on this model so crisp and clean.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how you've differentiated the base from the figure- often overlooked!
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteNot somebody I'd care to face in a dark alley either. Not the best place to be lobbing a fireball.
Great work Arthur and good to have back again!
ReplyDeleteFine work Arthur. This looks like the sort of fellow that causes one to prefer the path of negotiation? He looks great.
