10 balls WIP

[Sproket]

Great stuff Lee! A brilliantly painted and characterfull mini that has a really nice narative element to it!

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all
I havent posted for a while, not for the lack of painting but like Mally ive be painting for a White Dwarf thingy and not allowed to post WIP pictures. I hate not being able to post I my WIP, its like a diary and I miss it!

Soooooo finished that and started a fun project that ive been wanting to paint for ages. I usualy start with faces but as theres so much armor Ive gone with that. Its 54mm scale so the NMM is a challenge on large smooth areas but im pleased so far.
10 hours work so far. Base GW dawnstone with increasing highlights using VMC sky grey then VMC off white. Glazes of scales 75 deep blue and oranges and browns.

[ten ball]

thanks mate.

More WIP.
Ive gone heavier with the blue tones and smoothed out the blending.
After advice from a few painters at GD im slighlty changing my blending process on the NMM and glazing more. its darker but loads smoother in the hand. Going to push the mid tones and highlights in places.
