Finished up the second blightking. Put this one on a 30mm base to set him apart from Gloop as this one's supposed to be his second in command, and not yet a fully fledged champion.
Your figures have a really interesting tonal quality to them. Are you mostly painting with washes over primer, or are you color blocking with basecoats as well first?
It really depends, but this one was painted with washes over primer primarily ( as you can see in the previous post". Weather I start from a wash or a basecoat I realy a lot on drybrushing and consecutive washes and glazes to bring the colours together.
Very nice miniature! (just like everything on this blog!) I am impressed to see how you manage to have something coherent with so many colours. That's really well done.
The completely OTT verdigree is awesome and goes so well with blue.
This reminds me funnily one of the old tips we used to see in WD used to be base your armies on sports teams as they have eyecatching combinations of colours and I think our local rugby team would enjoy this colour homage ;)

ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing to me mate, this is just smashing my confidence.
I don't think I have ever been attracted to a mini before, you ruined me.
If you find this attractive you seriously need to get laid...

Thank you very much Morbäck!
DeleteCompliments from someone of your talents are much appreciated! Your plague centurion is without doubt one of last years most impressive models.

Go sportsteam!
DeleteI think that's very good advice - team colours are certainly designed to stand out on the field and that should work scaled down on the tabletop.
