First, there was Pokeminis in 2009, in which I cleared out tons of unpainted stuff.
Then there was Pokeminis 2010, in which I fizzled out.
Now that Dakka Dakka has a new showcase forum, I've decided to skip the blog and
just post pics when I'm done! (Yeah, getting kinda lazy).
So let's kick off the year with some Cygnaran Storm Lances!

Are those wash on white primer, if so they have worked out remarkably well!
131
Post by: malfred
No, but I think I can see why you'd think they were all washes on white.
The blues are Reaper Triads: Templar highlighted up then washed down then
highlighted up again. Blue ink is too strong, so I made a wash out of the Triad and
use that instead for my Cygnar...and Trolls, too.
The yellow is filthy brown highlighted up and then yellow inked.
The white is Wolf Grey with Breonne blue wash and highlighted up
to Ghost Grey.

I did NOT like putting a bunch of large bases into my paint queue. Next time, cavalry gets
done all on its own. It's like painting 6 jacks!

If you go through my gallery you'll f ind that most of it is in that lighter blue.
I have older models that use Magic Blue or whatever that shade is, but I
much prefer the Reaper Templar blue.

Warmachine and Hordes use a lipped base for all their miniatures.
Small = 30mm
Medium = 40mm
Large = 50mm
Cavalry models and heavy warjacks/warbeasts tend to go on Large bases.

The second piece is General Hondo's Ultra Form. If you don't play Monsterpocalypse then I should explain that the ultra forms are the same model except made in a colored resin. My thought with the ultra form was to paint only the clothes but leave the rest in clear resin form.

Mu,
Thanks for the compliment.
The variety has always been there with Warmachine. The only place you
didn't really see it was in the warjacks. Back in Prime, Cygnar started with
Stormblades, Trenchers, Arcane Tempest Gun Mages and Longgunners,
all different looking representatives of their groups. Within the faction of
the Protectorate of Menoth you had Zealots, Choir, Knights, and
Flameguard.
There's plenty of variety in the game.

Post by: Defeatmyarmy
My only criticism is that you should go over your washes with a thinned down paint to make stuff like the capes and armor look more crisp. Its easier to show than describe but here goes: Since shadows hit,for realism, paint after the washes and work your way into the crevices, then carefully wash the crevice with a brown/black or mix it with the color of the basecolor for more realistic blending, making sure the wash only stays in the recesses and doesnt escape back onto the cape. This can be frustrating at first, but well worth the effort. You should reference any pro paint job on the site, mine are good but no golden demons.l Other than that awesome job and keep it up! Also, dont afraid to matte varnish, I noticed some of your skin is probably shinier than you want it.
131
Post by: malfred
Thanks for the advice.
I do highlight after washes. I just don't have patience for the
blending you describe.
I don't like Matte Varnish. I use a satin to help me remember

I don't think so. People churn out army after army and they inspire me. I
remember back on ye olde dakka when Waaagh Gonads used to set aside
an entire 40k or fantasy army for his holiday and just post about finishing
it from start to finish.
And those airbrush guys. Wow. They can pump em' out.
Well, you have to see it through the eyes of someone who managed paint about 22 minis in 4 1/2 months while painting in a, for him, good pace
Anyway, great as ever.

Sometimes it seems a bit much, but I rather like it. Maybe if I ever
get some Extreme sculpts, the orange would just be too much and I'd
have to include more gray. Here's some links to my gallery:

What colour(s) have you used for your troll skin?
I use Reaper skin paints. For my standard troll it's Reaper Master Dark Skin.
For my albinos I use Reaper Master Olive Skin.
