Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
Here is a couple pics of the first semi-completed HE in my small but growing collection. I still need to figure out how I want to base most of my army but this at least shows the paint scheme fairly well.
(edit: After posting the pics I noticed a couple needed touch ups /sigh they have been fixed.)
And a back shot...
Thanks.

Re: Opinions wanted...
It is nice looking.
If you want to continue with the cool theme go with snow.

Re: Opinions wanted...
That looks very similar to the theme I am doing for my guys.
Ice Blue/Space Wolf Grey are my base colors, and fluff wise they will be living in a mountain area, so I will try to base them on alpine/snow covered bases.

Re: Opinions wanted...
i can only suggest to improve the mini is that you leave more grey areas on the white robe. The rest looks very good. About the base... I cant comment since i use gretchin green on mine :p

I like the ruin-type bases. But maybe with a really crisp white stone instead of a regular gray color.

Leaving grey would be tough as there is no grey on the model lol but I can see what you mean.Mireadur wrote:i can only suggest to improve the mini is that you leave more grey areas on the white robe. The rest looks very good. About the base... I cant comment since i use gretchin green on mine :p
Someone mentioned snow basing and since I am planning to use a good chunk of WL's (like their models better than PG hehe) I will most likely go with a snow/tundra look. Little bit of the grey stone flock overbrushed with some white and a friend pointed me towards something called "SnoTex" that he found at a Michael's craft store which looks amazing on some of his tanks. Am still planning a decking/plank look for my LSG though.Bolt Thrower wrote:I like the ruin-type bases. But maybe with a really crisp white stone instead of a regular gray color.

That looks really good. The gold contrasts well with the light blue

Re: Opinions wanted...
I like the armour and the white, but not quite sold on the mane. Maybe you started a bit too dark? Not a bad miniature by any stretch of the word, and I'm looking forwards to seeing more

Re: Opinions wanted...
Yeah it looks a bit lighter in person. I think the mids got over ridden by the highlights a bit. I always find things that need improving when a model is blown up via my camera.Luna Guardian wrote:I like the armour and the white, but not quite sold on the mane. Maybe you started a bit too dark?

I appreciate the comments and suggestions.

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Renamed)
Same model but the base is done and I decided to change the gems to green rather than red. Hope to have the other 9 done soon. Am also working on a counts as Eagle.

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Renamed)
I agree green with this colour scheme goes much better than red for gems.
What did you use for snow on the bases?

I used a product called Snow-Tex. Here is a link to it not sure if you can get it online or not...Giladis wrote:I agree green with this colour scheme goes much better than red for gems.

Here is a shot of my "Counts as" Great Eagle. It is a repainted child's toy. (Yes I know it's an owl but if people can use baby dragons models I can use an owl lol)

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Renamed)
I have and use those same Great Owls. For a quarter of the price of a real great eagle, how can you beat it.
Re: Lord Moren's Log (Renamed)
Id paint the base edge of the SM black. Puts more focus on the model. Apart from that great job, looks real nice. Love all of the cold tones, along with the snow, really works

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my Chariot)
This is the second "scheme" I tried for my lion. I tried one in grey's with a blue wash and a final white drybrush but it just didn't seem right.
Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
I like the lion... But a final highlight on the gold and silver could really set it off. Do you have a picture of the grey/blue job btw? Sounds interesting!

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
I don't have a pic of it since it didn't come out anywhere near where it was in my head I scrubbed it. I plan on trying it again on my second chariot cuz I think I know where it went wrong in that I started a bit too dark.
Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
Works best if you start by priming it in white, giving it another thin coat of white for smooth coverage. Than a glaze with spacewolves grey, and maybe a thin wash of shadow grey in the deepest recessess, depending on how bright you want to go with the lion.Lord_Moren wrote:I don't have a pic of it since it didn't come out anywhere near where it was in my head I scrubbed it.

But than again, your second scheme is pretty ace too

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
This one was an ivory base, bleached bone, devlin mud wash, bleached bone drybrush and a drybrush of Reaper's Linen White over the mane and tail tuft. I really like how it turned out.
Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
Nice workd all around. Great colour scheme by the way.

Re: Lord Moren's Log (Lion for my chariot added)
No you are not...I lol'd too but just kept it to myself.
I picked up 2 boxes of White Lions, my second chariot and the lord/noble box today adding to the already impressive stack of sprues waiting to be assembled and painted.../sigh. (Not to mention the 40k models still awaiting completion.) I may be done with all of this sometime in the next decade lol.
