Ulthuan

yeh used all my bandwidth for the month so I would update them all but it would take too long, so will just have to wait till it refreshes

Finally after many months away from the world of warhammer fantasy a visit from a friend has provided me with the lovely skaven warlord model from the Island of Blood box set (he ended up with four of them so didnt mind giving one away). Since its such a fantastic looking mini I've decided to paint it to the highest standard that I can, including my first attempt at directional lighting from the flame on the banner.

So far I've completed about 1/3 of the model, I will probably be going over some of the areas that I've already completed to add in the lighting effect, and some freehand detail.. but all that will be much further down the road (I've finally got myself some full time employment, so don't no how much free time I'll have... though at least now I'll have the money to get myself a nice army together).

Anyway here we go my skaven slideshow

Primed



Basecoated



Washed



Robes Painted



Chainmail, feet, tail and some armour



Spear Completed




I went for a worn look on the tassle on the spear, I'll also be making the metals look more worn, but that will be left till later when they are all painted and all the lighting is completed.

All C&C appreciated

Looking great sir.

Your NMM skills make me sick with envy! I tried it a few times and it looked good, but only if you like swords looking like they were made of rock haha. As always great work and keep it up.

Just read your post from start to finish and was really enjoyable read, def going to have a go at freehand but on a few test models first after seeing the phoenix on the HE Mage.

Looking forward to seeing more.

There is something a little bit strange about it. I think it's that the skin is nearly the same colour as the banner. Just my opinion.

thats because its not finished yet, the banner will be a lot different when its done. and the skin wil all have changed a bit as well.

Love the work! Keep posting those High Elves!

This thread hasn't had much love lately. But i'd love to see more of your work. I am definately a fan of the Mage.

Holy crap. I was excited to see that iceman has comeback to show more stuff, it has been far to long. ICEMAN where are you brother?!!
