scottshoemaker Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 So I thought I wanted to paint these guys with a purple tint. I preshaded them then hit them with some Ghost Tint purple, then higlighted them with light grey and a very pale fleshtone, but I'm not digging them. I'll try a pale fleshtone glaze later and see if it works, if it doesn't I'll airbush white over the exposed skin and try just a maiden flesh look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Learned a trick for non tinting washes. I wanted to shade the recesses with a fleshy pink tone, but I didn't want the highlights to stain. I first airbrushed the models with gloss varnish, then mixed up the shade, just added one drop of the pink to 5 drops flesh, and then 6 drops gloss. The gloss of the wash and the glossed miniature repelled each other, allowing the wash to settle in the recesses while beading up off the high spots. Then I picked up this Mailifaux mini for my Daemon Prince: I cleaned up the black from the flesh airbrushing, did a base grey airbrush highlight, and hit that highlight with Badger Minitaire Magenta. In either case, I'm still not happy with how the flesh turned out. I think I'll set these aside and work on the warriors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 As i stared at these marauders last night I realized it's more than the paintjob. It's the models. I really don't care for them. Off to eBay with them. If someone here would like them just make me an offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Take a look at these! I think these are far nicer marauder mini's! http://www.avatars-of-war.com/eng/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&prodcode=pl12&prodname=Barbarians+with+shields&id=118&Itemid=53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I preshaded these guys, but I inverted the location of the shade so in a broad sense they are lighter on the bottom than on the top. I figured this would present a more unnatural look to the minis: Then I used Badger Minitare Ghost Tint Magenta right over the top. I ended up laying down about 3 layers of this. The first layer looked pink, the send layer had a more lilac tint, but the 3rd finally had the rich magenta I was after. After it cured overnight I put on a layer of Future to seal it up, then I washed it with a 2:1 mix of Future/Vallejo Black Wash with a drop of Flow improver, being careful to not let the wash pool up. By laying down a gloss seal first and mixing gloss with the wash it prevents the wash from tinting the color I put down first, so it flows into the recesses. It also helps mitigate tide marks. I had tested this earlier and was satisfied with the results, but I'm very happy with the ratio for these guys. Much too shiny right now, but now I can work on the other metals by brush. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I learned the gloss and gloss technique on the Next Level Painting You Tube Channel. Kenny is a bit, interesting, but his techniques are solid. Skip ahead to the 10 minute mark to see the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uselesswizard Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 They look fantastic! Kenny takes a bit to get use to and is way over the top sometimes, but his techniques are solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Got the Warriors done and sealed. I used Vallejo Matt varnish which has more of a satin finish. Bases cast up and phase 1 painted. I still need to do the snow and scrub on them, as well as paint the banner Icon. A few touchups here and there as well. Almost there... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
