"LIKE" if u agree

"REBLAG" to fuck me nasty

One of the reblogs of my last post has inspired me to make a step by step walkthrough of how i painted the flesh of that spawn.

To start off the paints i use here are

Macragge blue spray (citadel)

Matt white (army painter)

Hive dweller purple (army painter)

Familiar pink (army painter)

Sigvald burgundy (citadel)

Kislev flesh (citadel)

Rakarth flesh (citadel)

Pallid wych flesh (citadel)

The fang (citadel)

Any of these can be replaced depending on what you’re going for and have access to, this list is only the paints i use in this post

Since i didn’t really take any good pictures of the progress on that spawn I needed a new specimen.

For this task i chose the executioner found in the dungeons and lasers npc miniature pack.

My usual first step when painting anything is a base of Macragge blue with a zenithal highlight.

A zenithal is not necessary for this technique as it’ll get covered up anyway but it does provide some nice guidelines for lighting

Once the base coat is on I hit all the flesh with a dark burgundy. I used my airbrush because i have one and but this step can be done perfectly well with a traditional brush.

For this step I mixed Hive dweller purple and familiar pink from the speed paints range until i had something that looked about right.

Now comes the fun part, starting with a mix of Sigvald burgundy and Kislev flesh i went over the muscles keeping the direction of the light in mind and leaving the undersides of the muscles alone

I then worked my way up mixing in less burgundy for each layer until my brush only contained Kislev flesh

Next i highlighted further with Rakarth flesh and did the brightest spots with pallid wych flesh

Finally I went in and glazed a the undersides of the muscles with The fang

Painting skin like this takes quite a while but it’s generally pretty satisfying the whole way through. While I doubt I’d be mad enough to paint an entire army like this it really is a fun way to make skin really pop on smaller projects.

Thank you to @happyhyenaminis for inspiring me to make this post.

Another spawn of chaos joins the fray

I had some spare bits from my redemptionists so i figured it would be a nice way to tie this guy to the rest of the cult.

I figured the daemon head didn’t quite fit what i was going for so i sculpted a ring of teeth there instead.

I wanted the mutations to be a different colour than the guy they burst out of and figured that a flayed look would pop well

The base was a bit of an obstacle as i don’t have any neceomunda bases in this size so i had to make my own. I took one of the 40mm bases from the accursed cultists box and went to town with a knife, plasticard and a couple greeblies.

Chaos spawn provide a fantastic canvas for conversions as they’re very forgiving when it comes to messy sculpting and wonky proportions.

Something a little different while I’m waiting for some stuff I’ll need before i continue expanding the Necromunda gang

In the meantime I’ve revisited a model that’s been unfinished for far too long.

Plague Lord Nurglitch!

Still very much a work in progress. I decided not to strip the old paint as i was quite happy with how some of my old work turned out. It’s really fun to revisit an old figure and really see how my painting has progressed so far.

I found this guy in a hobby shop, not knowing he even existed and bought him instantly. Skaven was the first army I collected for warhammer fantasy battles and later age of sigmar and I had always had a soft spot for clan pestilence so finding this figure was quite a shock.

Some friends and I were playing an RPG over discord and i felt like doodling. I got out the pens and pencils and once I started I couldn’t stop. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

The party is going around on a spell jammer, doing mercenary work. All the characters are absolute weirdos and it’s wonderful.

I’m playing as a magical ooze inhabiting a diving suit.

It’s having a snack :)
