Hello again folks today I have three additional minis painted up, what my man shaggy would probably call like zombies and aliens and stuff, in short more dark legion.
First up this Immaculate Fury, you can see I once again changed the way I paint daemonic flesh (but I wont be repainting my nepharite, I simply do not have the time) the new paint job being spacewolfs grey washed with nightshade. I went for red eyes, I will consistently go for red eyes on 'daemonic' members of the dark legion.
And the same guy again from a different angle. He is standing on the side of the base as if turning because he heard a sound. It looks good but makes him hard to balance. I might add some sort of weight to his base at a later date.
And a final angle, his loincloth is the only cloth on him and so is the only piece of him actually painted in the main army scheme of dark blue. Now some of you will know that the current ruleset for warzone ressurection does not have rules for imaculate furies so this guy will have to serve as a Razide until he gets rules.
Illian templar, I have ahard time deciding if i like this mini or not, unpainted he looks very crude, no details and lots of flash. But painted he looks really good. The mantle is, main colour scheme for the army, blue. The skin is blue like on the fury and metallic parts are obviously metallic.
And in better lighting and a different angle. he looks really menacing if you ask me, I'm really pleased with him. From this angle you'll see that his eyes are green, I will go for green eyes on all helmeted heads in the army. Observant viewers will also not I have decided on a simple stripe of white on the base to denote the front instead of the triangle the previous miniatures had. simply because I dont like my skill at free handing even something as simple as a triangle. Oh and this guy is of course the alien in the title which lead us to...
...Zombies! Another crew member from the unholy cannonade. I wanted him to have somewhat realistic colours in his uniform so I didn't go for the main colour blue, instead I went for a khaki scheme that once washed nightshade ended up very grey.You'll notice the eyes are quite unpainted, this is totally unintentional, these guys arent brought to life by magic but by evil science, there's no reason they should have glowing eyes, the blue eyes of the skeleton was a book reference otherwise there wont be any glowing eyes on undead in the army.
All in all these minis look good next to each other and the red of the bases contrasts nicely with the cold blues of the bases and makes it look like they're in the desert at night which is what I would have liked it to but never thought i was good enough to get across. then again it could just be positive bias.
On an unrelated note I'd like to promote my new writing blog,
ye olde fictionwriter. this will leave whispers from the warp more focused on painting and rules ideas. I might still post wargaming relevant stories here I actually haven't decided yet.
Well that's all for now, and I'll see you next time.
