Re: Rainbow Warriors - Loremistress
You're worried about scale and then BOOM go for the trident? HaHa~ A Wave Mistress?
The sword is fine, although the lack of guard is a little disturbing.

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Loremistress
She's beautifully painted! Nice directional lighting from the flame, and I actually like the blade.

I did a few subtle changes and now I am going to think of some fluff for her.
Lady Ilweran
There are times when I become a little tired of painting so many gems and pretty faces. And what better cure there can be than a Nurgle Lord?

There's an eerie glow on it, where does it come from? Blue light on the stomach? Or just rotting stuff!?

Thanks for your words. I read through the Masterclass book and finally started to understand how some of the tricks work.
Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
Ha, I read it and can't get the hang of them.
By your new profile picture, I'm guessing your painting talents aren't limited to models?

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
It takes a leap of faith (watered down paints) and some practice I guess. The downside is that if anything, painting a model takes more time than before.Elithmar of Lothern wrote:Ha, I read it and can't get the hang of them.

Ah, well it is very good.
May I ask which techniques exactly you have been using from the book? I might have to try some...

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
I used some general advice like painting from inside out (that usualy means you start with skin, but here, well, you can imagine what was painted first. I used an old paint pot to hold the model better. Tried to water down the paints and do more layers. I finally understood what a glaze is... And used (with some minor modifications) the step by step on painting metal on the Chaos Lord and flesh painting guide for Urien Rakarth. I am not brave enough to try NMM.

Good advice. I might use an old paint pot and paint from inside out...

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
Wow your skill is improving at an amazing pace (if the 1st minis in the log are painted by the same person as the latest ones!)
I find khoril, the seaguard, the mage lady and your nurgle lord simply amazing. The archers and plastic mage in page 1 were also very good.
But then some models look like unfinished? like spearmen, PG and white lions?
Finally i want to mention the way you painted the ''white flames''. Very cool all of them with shades of different colours while keeping the flame loyal to to its ''real'' colour

With the exception of Caranor, the mounted noble, they are. They are posted more or less in chronological order and were painted in last year and half. Must say I became somewhat addict to miniature painting lately...

Thank you! I also find your work amazing by the way . It seems I am the only one here who likes our Archers. I think they are grateful.
But then some models look like unfinished? like spearmen, PG and white lions?
In what way? Do they need more shading, change of colours or something else?

I was gazing into flames for a long time before I devised this scheme.
Thank you for the feedback!
Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
I also like the archers, not so much the spearmen though. so i guess that makes it 2 of us who like em ;P
About the unfinished appearance of the models i mentioned, yes. I think it has to do with the almost non existant shading of the metallic parts.

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
I suppose they don't look quite finished. They certainly look good though!
I like the archers too, and nice spearelves can be made by combining them with archer parts.

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Nurgle Lord
Yes, shading is very light on these models (Enchanted blue mostly), I will add some depth to it one day (I suspect it will take much more than one day. I changed my recipe for armour so new ones should have more "finished" look. At least I hope so.Mireadur wrote:I think it has to do with the almost non existant shading of the metallic parts.
Returned home to Saphery for a time before I get back to painting Dreadfleet for the April challenge. So my next theme is Swordmasters - or better - a Swordmaster.
Three! They must feel almost popular now.Elithmar of Lothern wrote:I like the archers too...

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Hoeth poster
I <3 your recruitment posters.
I love the pose of that Sword Master! His Great Weapon on his shoulder and hand on his hand weapon, like: You're not worthy to die by the big sword.

I like it. The background is very good, and I love your metals. I'm rubbish at metals.
But I disagree with the slogan.

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Hoeth poster
Pleased to hear you like it. This one was fun. And thanks to some inspiration (think all those "arrogant" runes) I was able to give the model some detail. And I even got to practice with watercolours.Tiralya wrote:I <3 your recruitment posters.

You are allowed to disagree of course. If you like, I have some WIP pics of the armour to post here later.Elithmar of Lothern wrote:I like it. The background is very good, and I love your metals. I'm rubbish at metals.

Here is the "new boy" with one of my old Swordmasters for comparison:
Re: Rainbow Warriors - Hoeth poster
I love it. Great conversion, plain and simple. I'm gonna steal that! The slogan is great too. Next one could be "You won't forget, going to Hoeth"

Yes, visiting Hoeth is unforgettable.Lorinel wrote:The slogan is great too. Next one could be "You won't forget, going to Hoeth"
Next one I suspect will be our golden boy from Cothique. I have him primed, but to gain some colour he will have to wait till next time I get back to Saphery. It may take a while - wide seas and vast skies ahead...

Re: Rainbow Warriors - Hoeth poster
Great looking poster.
Personally, for a slogan for saphery, I would go for something like: "our elf maiden know magic too"
