Graishak WIP

[ChadwickOne]

Hello! Are there ready-made kits for beginners?

 

[Graishak]

Thanks guys
@Eki: As I'm still thinking about using it on my board for 2021 (which will be Nurgle) I resisted to bring some Orc-bitz onto the gate directly.

The gate is done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/452329
Was a nice diversification to the standard paint work I'm doing on my warhammer minis, to which I will now return.

Love the gate, looks cool!

Okay, put some nurgle demons walking through the gate:laugh:

 

[Kallfa]

Nice idea for this gate! Have you ever thought about using fluorescent paints for this kind of project?

 

[Graishak]

@Gorb: Thanks
@Eki: Deal!
@Kallfa: Not yet. So far I just used the Hexwraith Flame green for poison/ghosts from GW. I checked on the Greenstuffworld page. There are two options: Fluo colours or Candy colours. Both seem to have a bright effect,
but I'm not sure what to choose. Any recommendation?

 

[Kallfa]

I haven't tryed yet, but I'm curious, I think it's possible to have a real fun experience with these paints. Candy colours from GSW are inks, designed to intensify a colour base. It looks great to have vibrant colors with glazing techniques for instance. About fluo colours specificity: it brights in the dark. They published several demo videos on their youtube chanel, like this one or this one.

@Kallfa: Thanks for the hint. I will give both a try, once I place my next oder at GSW.

Meanwhile in the swamps... the angler Toad is ready:

I applied some colourless fluo I had from a Revell Ghost Ship.

currently waiting for some care:

I have a set of Candy Ink paints from GSW i have never used and probably will never use, if you want them they are yours, just send me a P.M.

As for the fluorescent paints i have been using them for a couple of projects, they work a little different than normal paints, the medium they use in the fluo paints is not the same as in a bottle of acrylic, it tends to dry like rubber and you will have medium cluster collecting on your bristles like mini balls of rubber, you need to remove these from your brush periodically. The pigments also cluster really fast meaning you need to shake the hell out of them before using and even then on your pallet constantly mixing the pigments with the medium.

In general I don‘t touch a finished mini, but this Blightking
wasn‘t finally making me happy. So I decided to put some diluted
white to the skin. And now I’m happy. He really looks poisonously sick:

Not sure why, but those Blightkings give me a harder time than el Papa...
They‘re kind of my Kryptonite

 

[Kallfa]

Pale tones on the skin give a best putrefaction effect, you did well .

The pack is growing

Excellent work Graishak, I love the Blightking with his pale flesh, and the blue green on the angler toad looks great!

 

[Graishak]

Thanks Gorb You're keeping me motivated!

Tonight I've finished the flag bearer... so the command squad is complete. More to come:

Nice little squad. Great job.

 

[gorb]

I agree, great job man!
You've got some awesome grimdark-looking blending going on there, especially on the bone parts.
The cloth looks great too.
And I like what you did with the bases.

 

[metalasmedium]

Wow production like a well oiled machine! I like these guys.

On another matter i left a few PM's for you when you have a chance to look.

 

[ekipage]

Nice work on the nurgle figures!

 

[Kallfa]

Nice work Graishak. The different color variations on metalic areas work well, just like the flesh tones. Good stuff !

 

[Gemini7673]

Nurgle are always fun to paint. Nice work!
