Hey fox in a box here
I recently got challenged by my local store manager to actually finish an army as I often just paint single miniatures
but after painting a squad of cultists I may have changed my mind...
I am afraid that the cultists are in the store cabinet although hopefully I can get some pics soon...

in the mean time here is a pic of the chaos lord from DV tell me what you think

It is only a very early WIP

thoughts..

still working on the lord pretty much finished base coats and i have started the cape as well, though on the colour would be much appreciated

also any one have any ideas on how i could paint a purple flesh colour? if not I have a few different ideas that I could try.

So yesterday I thought that I would give a go at some sculpting, it is always something that I wanted to try
so I gave it ago on the new aspiring champion model to make him look a bit more lordly so I have two lords for different lists that I am planning to run.
this one will be equipped with the black mace, hence the mace
but the actual sculpting comes in the cloak on his back and the fur,
I think that I could definitely improve the sculpting but i suppose more can cure that

thoughts on every thing so far

soo continuing work on the Lord of late

still have a lot of for to do i am also contemplating doing some nmm on the cape which should be fun...

thoughts.

The sculpted cloak seems to be a bit "rough", but the flow & movement look really natural !

Where did you get the Black Mace from ?

As for the Lord, the colour scheme should be great, once it's over !!!

I got the black mace from the empire general plastic kit and then the rest of it was the handle from the axe in the aspiring champion kit

I also have gone over and smoothed out the clock as well, should really put a pic up...

thanks a lot for your input

Another pic would be nice, as it's hard to tell from the pic you've taken (it's a bit small, and dark)...

Also, what's the additional GS thing on the right shoulder ?

Im liking it so far..... Painting is a hard gig to break into but with a steady hand a keen eye and an imagination will crack it. *nods*

the GS thing is just the top of the cloak i was hoping to make it look like an old matted fur cloak and the then a band at the top to tie it togeter
hopefully this pic shows it a bit better...
and the pic does make it look a bit rough, i am not quite sure why as it isn't :/

as well here is a pic of my major WIP of my heldrake body

thoughts

fox in a box

Ok, that's what I thought (the fur) but wasn't sure of it... Looks good !

Same for the Heldrake

Im really liking the scheme you are working with, the purple and blue really complement the grey and gold, keep it up!

thanks i am glad you guys like it

sorry i haven't been able to post for ageees...as i have had no computer, but i got one recently so all is good

here is some photos of my 1st finished chaos lord, which was from DV
tell me what you think, one of my main aims was to practice painting gems, and try a bit of nmm, as i have never really done either of these before.

so some feed back on those would be brilliant.

fox in a box

He's looking really good I like the gems and the eyes. The NMM on the cloak is fantastic which colours did you use?

thanks!, i used the the old colours as i still have a lot of them,
but the modern equivelents are (in order):
abbadon black
rhinox hide
balor brown
zamsei desert
white scar

and they all have stages in between, to do it mix in the previous colour with the next but never so it becomes the next colour, eg so it would get to 1:5 thinox hide, balor brown

glad you liked it

fox in a box

that's a pretty sweet lord you have there Can't wait to see the other lord painted up.

Thanks!!
Started work on the 2nd lord I will put photos up tommorow,a s I am afraid that it is night here now, so the photos will be terrible

Tell me you thoughts

Fox in a box

So as promised I have started the 2nd lord! (the one with black mace)

these are the wip pictures, if you haven't al ready guessed these are very early on in the painting process.

I would love to here what you think of it and the 1st lord!
