Love, love those red chaos dwarf units, and the rocky movement trays are a fantastic touch. They really look entrenched, as dwarfs should, and a bit evil with the red, as chaos dwarfs are meant to!
I may even borrow this paint scheme when I paint up my chaos dwarfs, so any more information you could give about how you're achieving that red would be great
Well done

Did this for the Iron Painter wyrd is hosting, into the 3rd round. Thought I'd step it up this round and make a real diorama with one of my favourite masters, since he fits the theme very well. But lo-and-behold my opponent thought it was a good idea too! So he has a Levi crew diorama competing against mine! Should be interesting.

Since the kingdom death board game didn't come with fancy bases for the monsters I made my own. They are resin inserts that fit nicely into the KD bases to keep it consistent with the other models. There is the side by side comparison of the masters and resin inserts.

My entry for the 5th and final round of Wyrd's Iron Painter. The theme was Critters. Sculpting wise, even though the tree is many times bigger then the Skeeter's snack, it took probably 4x more to sculpt. Probably about equal to the whole of the painting time.

Quick question, what's your blending technique? Two brush or something else?
You using PP (or similar HMG Pigment paints) or something else?
79684

Thanks!
I use two brush, though sometimes I like to finger paint, especially for heavily textured areas, and P3 paints.

Where did you get the tiny yellow flowers you use on the bases btw?
79684
Post by: ToadPainter
Thanks for the replys! Fimo is great, takes a bit of getting used to since you'll have to build more complete stuff instead of just adding it on with like greenstuff.
I got the flowers from here : https://www.raincityhobbies.com/collections/basing-details/products/self-adhesive-flowering-grass-tufts

It's nice to finally paint something for myself. Almost half way done the base game with the White Lion and Screaming Antelope already done.
Quite fun to paint all the OSL on this brutal model, though it was a bit of a challenge figuring out how to do the glow through the faces that were stretched over the lanterns. I even sculpted the base specially for this guy.

Here's my take on the Swamp Siren by Mini-Crate. Her colour scheme is based off of a actual octopus, with a few alterations. I tried to push myself with new techniques with the different textures and patterns on this model. I'm loving the alternate pin-up versions of models that Mini-crate is making.

After a nearly year long break from playing tabletop games I plan on painting up a new army to celebrate. It will be Privateer Press' newest faction the Infernals! I plan only slowly painting them up to a relatively high standard since there isn't too many models for the army. I will be posting here will all my progress shots of my Infernal army but if your interested in my other works or commissions check out my Instagram: www.instagram.com/toadpainting or on Facebook, Toadpainting.
Starting off slow with the Infernal Shrieker, a light warbeast for the army. First session was finding what colors and how I wanted them to work together. Started off air brushing a foundation of dark grey/blue then a dark purple to a light blue. After touching up a small area, I painted the eyes pure white and using yellow and orange inks to give them the glow I was looking for. The trick here was never use a paint brighter then what your going to use for a glow effect. So I kept the flesh relatively dark in comparison to the eyes, it also helps that the flesh is a cool tone and the eyes are quite warm, helps them pop out. The bases I'm using for this army came from www.RainCityHobbies.com Abyss style.
Second session was more progress on the back and eyes and painting up the base, which I kept somewhat dark to help make the rest of the model look brighter.
This session I spent a bit more time on it then the first two since I liked where it was heading and wanted to see what the finished model looked like. Added areas of pink to help make the model look more interesting since it was lacking variety in the flesh tones with the mono blue flesh. Helps bring it to life and less like a gargoyle or something like that. It's not quite 100% complete but it's really close and won't touch it till i've put a few layers of varnish on it.
Next will be a soulstalker which is a heavy warbeast and much more intimidating because of it's size and coiled shape but it is one of my favorite looking beasts so I'm looking forward to the challenge now that I've got a scheme fleshed out.
