He's on holiday!

Oh how wierd, strange people on the internet know what eachother are doing even tho we dont know each other!

Of course we know each other! lol

.....

Right Im definately going to bed now.

I'm going to say, I completely ripped off the weathering wash technique you used for your Marines for my first truescale (although mine was a custom mix, I don't buy GW paint outside of metallics), and I love it completely. It adds so much personality to the model.

Hi everyone! I’m back from a rather epic two weeks in the Scottish Land

And I’m now back to the painting!

Rather than going in for the concentration heavy single miniature painting i decided to have a go at something which was a bit easier, a lot messier, and has needed to be done for a long time...

...repainting my cities of death buildings!!!

I have no pictures of during or before the painting but i have a few of the finished things!




The imperial shrine/cathedral. This was sprayed black, then lightly grey, then the outside was sprayed gold, i used some old gold spray paint for Christmas decorations. Once the gold was dry it was sprayed liberally with watered down black and brow inks. Once this had dried it was then sprayed with a number of coats of a very watered down 1:1 mix of hawk turquoise and bleached bone.

The inside was sprayed a rusty brown before being coated with hairspray. Then the hairspray had dried i then sprayed the walls a light green colour. Once this was dry the walls we scrubbed with a wet brush. It’s best to use a fairly large brush and make sure it's an old one too, this will ruin a new brush.







All the other buildings were painted using the same techniques as for the cathedral.

I've also made a start on the farseer which the librarian shall be duelling with:







Hope you like him!

I’ve also painted some more fleur de Lys on the warrior priest... its sooo tedious!




Hope you like the new stuff! Thanks to everyone who follows and comments

SoO

Man, your treatment of the inside of those buildings (especially) is really phenomenal. The "negative image" on the farseer's cloak is really outstanding, and a technique I almost never see in the hobby. As stated before... the fleurs are insane... and probably can (will) be used against you in a court of law at some point.

Wow... very inspirational stuff.

Those CoD are some of the best i've seen, really bring out the grimdark, well done!

That farseer is also win, is that OSL from the blade or is it just the lighting?

Freehand as always is epic, well done!

I've just looked through the entire log, and all I can say is that I'm very, very, very impressed. Awesome work!

I feel compelled to steal some of your ideas, especially the farseer's cloak.

Eldar dude looks nice, glad you made it through your trip!

Welcome back, looking fantastic.

Nice mate keep it up!

Blue and yellow helmet on a Saim-Hann farseer?! For shame. Very good work as always though.

HE'S ALIVE!!!! I love your buildings, and that farseer cloak is insanely awesome! Good work. BTW, did you have a good time on your trip?

Farseers cloack and sword are brilliant.

i've done a bit more on the libby though pics will be posted on tuesday as i'm off to wales tomorrow morning

Wow... youre style of painting just never stops amazinge me. You just make every thing look so naturaly dirty and torn up i love it.

Great as always.

Snap a pic of a Rowan Tree for me, if you can!

Hi all, The Farseer is nearing completion now after a good painting session yesterday.

@ Alpharius : we have one in our garden so i'll try and get a pic of it when the rain stops



The cloth and cloak are not finished yet on the inside and the Eldar script will need tidying up a bit. I also think the faceplate will need to be darkened a bit to contrast with the eyes and rest of the helmet.



The hem of the cloak will need to be tidied a bit. This is also my first attempt at NM gold so any tips for improving it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback!

Chris

Wow wow wow..... Just amazing. Keep the updates coming!

All i can say is...DOUBLE RAINBOW!
