Green glow done! Just need to touch up the silver, weather, base, and OSL.

I am loving these Gwyn, such an interesting scheme

Lovely seeing it all come together

Thanks IHateNids!

Aaaaaand they're done! Another rank or two of warriors to add to the collection.

It's hard to make Necrons look really interesting IMHO, but you did a great job making them look interesting. I like your color choice.

Thanks Shadows and Dust! The challenge is finding a scheme which has points of interest but isn't too visually complicated for what are at their core simple models (battle damage on the new warrior sculpts notwithstanding). I still iterate on how to do the purple panels.

Time for a break though; back to Tyranid land!

Sorry for the bad photo - finished the highlights on the armoured carapace.

Gwyn,

Nice work on the Necrons.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks CB! At this point they're pretty rote, but I find enough little areas to focus on to have fun on them.

Surprisingly these Tyranids are flying by. Just some detailing and basing left I think.

These little guys really did go quick, they're done now!

Love the color scheme of them nids!
Blending into their environment well.

Thanks Mothsniper!

I normally do contrasting bases, but with 'nids that have a camouflaging scheme, it made more sense to put them in an environment where that scheme makes sense.

Moving on; Radukar the Wolf from Cursed City! My Soulblight scheme is going to be red and green (patterned after the box art for Radukar, but it does work well). Colour placement will be inspired by 18th century Russian military uniforms (which was clearly also the inspiration for Radukar's box art).



This is the pants almost done, and the green cloak started.

Good progress on the green cloak, and largely done the skin. Started the various leather items, and a start on the beard (though I think I'm gonna go change it from blonde to brown).

Few more highlights, starting the gold, starting the wolf. Skin is finished and bloody gashes done. Sword rust is started - I'll go over it with metallic so only the pitted area looks rusted out.

I'm loving this guy.

That is looking sweet Gwyn, loving the boldness (but then I'm a sucker for Green, so....)

Thanks IHateNids! Every time I go back to it I think "you know what I can kick that boldness up a bit".

This round was dedicated mostly to fur, and finishing up the metallics.

And Radukar is finished!

Eye-level

An impressively angry chap! The cloak is particularly strong.

Nice blog, Gwyn! Liking those Flesh Tearers especially. You'll be a true master of OSL when all those Necrons are done, lol.

Nice work on the whites on that Radukar mini.
Is it that Apothecary white contrast?

Thanks graven! It's much better than previous cloaks I've done - I think part because I like my colour palette more for this cloak!

Thanks Adrassil! My OSL technique is still very primitive, but I find it effective enough for my purposes.

It is, with some light grey drybrushing and I think I did some thinned nuln oil in spots to change up the consistency.

I liked doing this vamp enough to do a second!

Great work Gwyn! Love the Necrons, you really brought out their damaged portions well.

That coconut crab scheme always looks good and you’ve done a great job on them.

The soul blight stuff is looking superb, Radukar looks to be one of your best yet!

Keep it up!

Thanks gobert! I hope this next vampire will be even better than Radukar - I think the cloak has a lot of promise, and I'm gonna have fun with this armour!

Face!

Coo. Very nice.

Thanks graven!

Big progress! Armour, cape, finishing touches on the face... Next need to do details, metallics, the black tabard etc.

Loving the latest Vampire where is he from?

Thanks Llamahead! She's "Karlina von Carstein", one of the Warhammer+ subscription models.

I forgot her eyes lol

Coming along nicely Gwyn.

Cheers,

CB

Small update; bitsies on her leg, and I cleaned up the black cloth tabard.

Love it - A good green cape is such a visually striking element. great job on the face details too
