Hi all!! Lurker for very long time, and with the apparent final death of Warseer I think this will be my new home. I guess I will update slowly some of my old photos, but for the moment here is the first bite, my progress with my Alpha Legion warband.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
First, Alpha Legion Chosen!

Gorgeous work, especially with the shoulders. Tongue shoulders.

Shoungders.

I think he looks absolutely stunning.

One minor criticism would be that the grenades look a bit like mushrooms, but then again it's the Alpha Legion, so who knows?

Thank you both! @DoctorDanny I put myself on a chromatic puzzle that I'm also not so sure I solved right, but I had stuck with it with the other models just for consistency check. Let's assume they are load up with confusing psychotropics

I've just finalized the Aspiring champion, I'm ultra happy with the cape and the small nmm rim, not so much with the metallics in general. Hope you like it!

Pretty slick painting. Keep 'em coming!

Well, your wish is my command! Dark Apostle down, I had a really productive week and was able to finish him in no time. Only Hellbrute missing in order to complete the Dark Vengeance box!!

Nice! Awesome choice of skin color.

Very impressive work. I have to admit when these models came out I hated all the faces and stuff coming out of the armor, but seeing your work makes me realize it was just the GW paint scheme. The way you've painted them is really cool.

Nothing says chaos like an angry face on your shin!

The colors you chose for his skin are excellent, very different from what is usually seen and I like that.

Very nice work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Hellbrute done! With this I finish the chaos half of the Dark Vengeance box, now to continue painting some terrain and then I will go back to my Dark Angels

Very fleshy.

In a good, chaosy way.

Exalted muette.

Cheers,

CB

Welcome to dakka muette, and what an entrance! The Alpha Legion colours you’ve chosen look awesome on the Dark Imperium marines. The blend in to the daemonic faces from the armour are lovely! Any chance you can bowl us all over with an Army shot?

Very high quality! thanks for sharing

Good lightbox photos

Very high quality! thanks for sharing

Good lightbox photos

I’m here too, Muette mate, another survivor! ;P

Alpha Legion looking glorious, lovely painting efforts!

Thanks all!!! @Stevefamine: actually two sheets of foamboard and a lamp, but my mobile does actually good photos!
@Ragsta: The classics come back!! Nice ot see you

Well, in order to remember the recepie for the bone armour, I've started with some veeery old Terminators I had pending to repaint. Hope you like them!

And following up with classics, Brother Bethor! With a custom Standard of Fortitude, I was able to replicate it in 3d with Zbrush, really happy with the result!

For a completely different topic, I've being painting in parallel a full team of Lizardmen for Bloodbowl. All of them in two weeks (in parallel to brother Bethor) and using all the quick painting techniques I know. Happy with the result!

Exalted muette.

Cheers,

CB

That Lizard team looks awesome, fella, great work as always

Thank you both!!!

Now back to classic DA, a couple of terminator characters.

Some serious banner work you’re putting In muette! Lovely work, are they all freehand?

Thanks gobert!! Actually they are 3d printed in resin, I designed them myself using Zbrush and inspiring myself on some of the old banners shown in 4th-5th edition DA codexes.

Self designed 3d prints are as cool (maybe cooler?) as freehand. Great designs and really well painted!

Lovely clean paintjobs. Lot of love went into these, I can tell...

Exalted there muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks for the lovely comments all!

Well, I've been painting but I've neglected the social part! Here are the first five members of my Blooded Kill team. Mix of old miniatures, Cadian command box, 3d printed bix and greenstuff.

Some more updates on my Blooded and my Alpha Legion!

Some superbly painted minatures here nice one

Lovely work on the Alphas, the high contrast on their armour plates is super cool

Thanks lordbickerstaff and gobert!!

Several updates, finished my Alpha Legion Kill team with the Balefire Acolyte:




Here the whole gang about to drop an album:



And really nearing completion of my Blooded with the leader and the commsman:

There's just too many great models in this thread Muette. I especially like the traitor killteam. Make sure to treat us to a group-shot one of these days.

Neat work on the guardsmen, it not very obvious that they are traitors, which kinda makes sense if they're working for the Alpha Legion...

Exalted muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks a lot for the kind comments my dears! Well, hopefully this one will look a little bit more chaosy, here my Ogryn for the Blooded, kitbashed from seeeveral kits!

That's chaos-y alright! Great conversion. There seems to be plenty of sculpting going on as well?

Hi mcmattila, yes there is a little bit of greenstuff there, mainly the legs (joining the boots to the body), filling the whole in the belly and the joint between the arm and the claw.

Aaaaand it's a wrap! Commisar and flenser finished Group shot!

Another neat not-very-chaosy guardsman!
Not a criticism by the way, I alway found it strange that it's all or nothing with traitor guard and none of the slow turn some of your minis have...

That’s a great ragtag band of traitor guard, they mesh pretty well together. The commissar looks like he could do with seeing an Apothecary though

Thank you both! @gobert actually I wrote a bit of background for the team, and the commisar was the first one to fully fall to chaos, due to some voices he started to hear after taking some drugs that the doctor from the regiment received from his home world...

Going back to the full light of the Emperor, here are two sons of the Lion finished!

That makes sense, always gotta watch out for papa! Some may question whether Dark Angels are in the full light of the Emperor, but they look supercool.

Thanks gobert!!

Now two more Alpha Legion SM, reinforcements for both my army and kill team

And now a mix of DA and Alpha Legion

Lovely colour on the Alpharius’s, is it contrast over a silver, then highlighted back to silver?

Hi Gobert, yes the "cobalt/blue" metallics are done using Akhelian Green over metallic, and highlighted with a mix of Akhelian + Silver.

And after a month and a half, here is the explanation of my absence!






Brother Turiel, Guardian of the last keys, Deathwing Dreadnought Redemptor. Lovely figure to paint and to make unique, I've pushed my skills with the airbrush and the freehand in order to make it pop. Hope I have achieved it!

Sweet Dreadnought! The glow on the plasma is super glowy! The heraldry is really cool, nice gradients on the individual colours.

Thanks man!
To start the year easy, I have finished a couple more Alpha Legion marines. Only 1 left to finish the unit of ten!

Awesome stuff Muette, love the detail on the book on the dread!

Great paintjobs, your chaos cultists really look the part. The dread looks amazing, the plasma glow is top notch.

Thank you both!!

Well, I'm having quite a productive start of the year, I've cracked down a DK in just six days. Hope to keep the rythm up!

Great work muette. Exalted.

Missed commenting while I was offline.

Cheers,

CB

The scale pattern you've done is great, I like the candles on the dreadnought too.

Really nice highlights on the knights hood, works well vs the bone.

Thanks for the kind comments!!!

With this one, I have finished (for a brief period of time at least) my Alpha Legion collection. Already thinking on the reinforcements I'm trying to do a group photo of them but im very bad at it, I'll try tomorrow with daylight.

Those look great, I'm sure they will look great all together.

Great work on the Dark Angel and the Alpha Legion guy. Really like the little touch of red on the cloth.

Thanks for the comments!

Now a Mournfang converted into Gore Grunta for my Orc army! Had this conversion sitting in my cabinet unpaited for the last 5 years, I have used it as a healthy change of pace after so many power armour

Nice job, the tusks on the back look really well done.

Exalted some more muette.

Cheers,

CB

What a cool idea for the orc boss! Looks great.

Thanks for the comments all!!

Going back to the Deathwing, ancient finished!

Nice work, that banner is sweet!

Nice work, that banner is sweet!

I agree the banner is phenomenal, well done! Terminators look so cool.

Thanks both!!!

Here a quick paintjob for my Bloodbowl team, a chamaleon skink!

Great work. Enjoyed going through all the pages.
The Dreadnought must be my favorite so far!

Keep it up

muette,

Great stuff as always.

Cheers,

CB

He looks cool, though I’m afraid part of me is disappointed he wasn’t painted to blend in to the base, including a white stripe!

Thanks for the kind comments!!
@gobert: I wanted to do it quickly so went full for airbrush and inks for the majority of it, didn't wanted to do any special effect. Lorewise excuse is that in the middle of the game even Chamaleons want to be seen, so full colour on it!!

And today I have finished my second Knight, only three to finish the unit!

Very clean, nicely done!

Great work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Fair enough! It’s hard to receive a pass when the thrower doesn’t know where you are I suppose
The knight looks amazing, the bone and green look super smooth with subtle transitions, nice work!

Thanks all!!! Now, another Gore Grunta joins the army!!

Continuing with my Deathwing I have just finished Brother Valefor, Knight Master:

Your deathwing dudes look fething awesome, great job!

Lovely Deathwing, that shield is fantastic! The spots of purple are a cool choice too

Exalted muette.

Wonderful as always.

Cheers,

CB

The terminators look great. Will you be kit bashing the leftovers with the new bigger terminators coming soon?

That would have been great, if not by the fact that I 3d printed the missing legs/back torsos and shoulderpads to build a total of 10 termies from a single box. So even if the new sculpts look amazing, I will refrain myself on buying them on the short term hahah

Finishing up the last remnants of my Seraphon army, here are two Skink heroes on flying mounts!

Brilliant updates Muette, lovely colours on the terradon thingies!

Love how colourful those Terradon riders are! And so clean

Super cool muette, the bright blue dino is great!

Thank you for the kind words friends!!!

Aanother deathwing knight finished. This one was a pain, for some reason the last airbrushed white highlight kept reactivating with water :( I was able to solve it but it took a lot of time. Hope you like it!

Awesome Deathwing, I love how absurd that mace is. Really nice gold effect on the middle.

More wonderful work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you both!

Starting now with the new Possessed, really liking these figures!

Fantastic work on the mouth on that guy!

Excellent work Muette! The sliminess of the tentacle arm is a nice touch. Did you put a gloss on that or is it just good highlighting?

Great couple of posts muette. The dark helmet on the Deathwing was a good shout, gives him a broody look. Love the flaming skulls on the possessed too, really nicely done

Thanks all for your kind comments!
@Olthannon: No gloss, I did last highlights almost with pure white precisely to make it all reflective and wet (and disgusting).

Now to round up my Orrukz, boss for my looted Mournfang is finished!!

Nice one Muette! Nice work on the horns and fur.

Excellent paintwork on the Possessed! My favorite elements are the gem eyes and the scale pattern on his chest, but really, all of the elements are great!

Also, I can't really tell why, but that Orruk on Mournfang gives me a warm and nostalgic feeling, like something from when I was a kid just getting to Warhammer. Probably the green base rim, maybe also the relatively clean paintjob... In any case, lovely work!

Thank you both!!!
I'm on a killing spree, another Possessed down!

Nicely done specially on the skin tones.

Yep, nice and fleshly.

That Orruk is cool, though I imagine him being a bit Sir Diddymus from Labyrinth when the boar gets going!

Gotta agree with the others, the fleshy tones are great on the possessed, especially that butt!

Thank you all!! Ah, everyone is weak for the flesh...

Well, showing just a bit of flesh, I've finished with the fifth one my unit of Deathwing Knights!

Spectacular unit! They look super cool on the display board too

Great looking unit Muette. I like the varied textures between the cloth and armour, very effective

More great work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Really nice group mate, your painting is very impressive. Love the battle damage on the shield edge.

Thank you all for your kind comments, they are really encouraging!
I have now finished another AL possessed. This one has all the skin done with brushwork, as it didn't have enough exposed to justify using the airbrush, and I wanted to take the challenge and play with green undertones. Hope you like it.

Woah, he’s a freaky lad, great work. The skin looks pretty good to me

Ok, so after two months of work I have something new to show:






Soooooo happy with this one. Lot's of opportunities to try new things (OSL and textures mainly) and also sculpting techniques. Basically this is the top of my game currently. Now to relax myself and paint some squigs or something xD

Wow you should be happy with this, it rocks! The OSL is great and the wings look brilliant. The burning Cadian flag on the base? That's such an awesome piece.

Thanks Olthannon for the kind words!!

As a palette cleanser, a smal project! I have another 3 of these dudes, I will intercalate my remaining possessed with them

Squig riders are a hoot, but the latest round of Chaos guys is mind-blowing. Great work!

Wow! That daemon prince is fantastic! So many awesome details. The time and effort certainly shines through.

Good to see some gobbos making a erm, cheeky appearance

Thank you both!!!

To continue progressing with the Alpha Legion, I wanted to finish this dear crabby dude before leaving on holidays. Hope you like it! Only one more to go to finish the unit, later I will keep painting squigs, I have a unit of Hellblasters to add to my DA, and I transformed an old Predator tank to paint it also with the Alpha Legion colours.

He’s a pretty crab boy! Superb

Wow they are nice muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks both!!!

Another two squigs, loving so much those

Absolutely love those Squigs Muette! Such bright colours and a great paint job.

Good choice mixing up the colours of the squigs, adds a lot of flavour! Excellently painted as ever too

Thanks gobert and Olthannon for your kind words!!

And now, bordering finishin the Alpha Legion (only one Predator tank away to finish the backlog on that side), my unit of Great possessed is finished!!

Exalted muette.

Cheers,

CB

Wow these are fantastic, muette! Really nice job.

That’s some sexy mutants! Excellent stuff muette

Great possessed is a perfectly fitting label. Awesome looking unit!

They look awesome Muette! Really nice use of contrasting colours to change up the AL blue.

Thanks all for the kind words!!! Glad you like them as much as I.
And I have squeezed enough time to finish the last squig from this classic unit before my last summer adventure. Hope you like it!!

Oh yes! He’s a classic alright, excellent paint job on him too. The blue through to orange on the squig is fantastic

Yep can only echo Gobert, really fantastic. Love the eyes on the Squiggly as well, very cool.

Very nice work there muette.

Cheers,

CB

Awesome work. The squig's eyes are perfect.

The new style squigs are nice, but I also really love the old squigs.
Great paint work.

Glad you like it my friends, I have a box of the new ones and I'll try to paint them on a similar style.

But before, behold, and old Predator! And actually my last mini of my Alpha Legion army, at least until I buy something more

Nice and old school. Lovely model and congrats on finishing the army. For now.

That’s a sweet old ride! Love the nu marine helmet hanging from the sponson! Congrats of finishing the army, it’s a great milestone! Would love to see them all together

Great paint scheme for that classic Pred. I agree, the Primaris head hanging loosely on the side is a great little touch.

Thanks all!!! Now back to my Dark Angels, here my first ever primaris!! (with the exception of the helmet in the predator, of course xD)

Lovely work on the pred.

The da boys look nice. That plasma glow... (Chefs kiss)

Great work on the Dark Angels, your OSL work is fantastique!

They are fantastic, that glow is hard to look at, it looks like it’ll burn your eyes if you look too long! How’d you do it?

Thank you all!!!
@gobert basically with the airbrush! I paint the coils in light grey, paint the general area with a medium blue, then the center of the coil with pure white, and then it's a back and forth between light blue, white, and going a bit dark on the edges.

And now, for something completely differnt, Orcs! For Orctober!

And another two Hellblasters, unit is going slow but steady. I have actually timed myself with those, and I spend 6 hours with each primaris figure. Not sure if good or bad with that level, at least I'm happy with the result.

You have a lovely and crisp painting style. I also like the Blooded team you posted a while back very much.

Thanks for the kind words Aquilifer!!

I keep working on repainting my boarboys, another two down!

Great work on the shield especially!

Love those Boar Boyz! As Gwyn says, the shield pattern is excellent.

Lovely boar boys, classic minis and amazingly well painted. 6 hours on the Dark Angels is good, I don’t think I’m much faster despite being a lower quality

Loving those plasma gunners. So much sweet green lately.

Thank you all!!! I keep working on my Hellblasters! Sargent and the first of the second squad of 5. Really happy with the kitbash on the sargent, the plasma cannon comes from the Deathwing terminator kit. Hope you like it!

When you don’t like your hands, it has to be double plasma! You’ve hidden that it was a Terminator weapon well, did you just keep the hand and replace the rest of the arm?

Yes, it was a cut at elbow level, and then just ensuring that the cables were going correctly to the power plant.

And unit of 5 boars finished with the champion! Kitbashed from a pewter savage orc boar boy, add a bit of chainmail and armor and voilá, a regular ork! Hope you like it.

Brilliant stuff Muette! Love those Boar Boyz, especially with the goblin green bases.

Superb! His skin is almost glistening

More nice work there muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks all for the kind comments :3

Starting with my savage orcs! I have a unit of 10 of these bad boys, loved painting these first two.

Nice! That one on the left looks a bit dim, but he’s kinda cute with it!

These sculpts are great, the "hey I'm a bit dumb but have this bone to your skull" vibe is awesome.
And another two!

Great updates. The ork skin looks great, the warpaint is a nice touch.

Love the warpaint as well as the excellent painting of course. Love the arm rings, they look so realistic.

Thank you both!!

So last minis of the year I fear (unless I have a painting frenzy in the remaining days, that is). Only two Hellblasters missing to finish the box.

More very nice work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Nice one Muette, great work on the plasma glow and weathering.

A sweet pair to finish off the year! The glow is mesmerising

Thanks all for the comments! Starting the year the best way possible, painting!! Two more savage orcs down.

Slow progress, life is getting in the way! At least I was able to finish the first two squig hoppers from the last plastic kit released. Hope you like them!

Definitely like 'em! Love the colourful squiggle beasts.

More nice work muette.

Cheers,

CB

I don’t like them… I love them! The classic red is fantastic and the pink works well (love the leg tempting it forward ). Just in time for the old world re-release of Orcs & Goblins

Thanks all for the kind comments! Continuing with the goblin theme, I started a Blood Bowl team. Here some old minis:

The squig hoppers look amazing, the skin and armour is well done.

Thanks Flapjack!!

And now, the last two Hellblasters of the box I bought. This means I can buy more toys! Well, not yet, lots of orcs and goblins still to paint

Lovely looking unit!

Thanks!!

And I continue with the savage orcs, another two!

That's impressive highlighting on those orcs.
Must be very time consuming.

With their tribal tattoos (or paint) the savage boyz look ready to throw down a haka!

Thanks both!!! @Tommygun yes, it's quite intensive, but I already have a ton of minis to play (and I mainly play OPR, so anything works) so I'm in absolutely no hurry painting. Just enjoying the ride!

Speaking about enjoyment, SQUIGS!!

And unit down! Savage orcs completed, always good to see them all ranked up and painted.

Man! The glow on those Hellblaster is immense the Orcs are stunning too, are you planning some Old World games?

Thanks gobert!! About Old World...not sure! They play in my gaming club but they are still undecided between old world and 9th age. What I'm sure is that I'm not going to rebase anything, at most I'll prepare movement trays to adapt. But in OPR I can use them perfectly!

And continuing with my squigs, two more!

Great squigs muette! Movement trays are definitely the way to go

What makes those squig rider figures so uch fun is the excellent animation in the posing and the look of light-hearted mayhem on the riders' faces!

Your paint up of them is first rate.

Exalted muette.

Cheers,

CB

Very fancy squigs !

Thanks all for the kind comments!!!

Fleshing out the command section of my Dark Angels, I start with the man, the legend, Azrael!!

And to rest, a couple of goblins for BB!




Also playing with the backgrounds, the white ones were getting hard to balance the colours correctly.

Brilliant updates here Muette. The different colours on the Squigs are fantastic, the completed Savage Orc regiment looks brilliant, the warpaint really helps them stand out.

The lightning effect on the power sword is extremely neato, might have to give that a go some time.

Thanks Olthannon for the kind words!!

I keep working on the squigs, here another two!

They are very professional looking.

Thanks!! Happy you liked them

More goblins in my table, this is like an invasion. Now some models of Greebo for my Goblin BB team, amazing sculpts!

Beautiful gobbos! The greenhouse minis are really cool

Thanks Gobert!!

Next update, Alpha Legion raptors! Did a quick job on those.Still I had the chance to do some osl on the plasmas and give a bit of time on the face of the champion and the sword. The rest was quite effective use of airbrush and drybrush.

Amazing job! especially for supposedly beeing such a "quick" paintjob!

Thanks!!! Well, quick at least by my standard, that it's quite slow

And with these two I finish the squig hopper box I bought a while ago. Always good to clean up the backlog!

Those lads are amazingly charachterfull.
Great job on the back armor on the guy riding the blue squig!

Thanks man for the kind comment!

Another two goblin linemen! Team is going slow but steady.

The green you’ve got on these gobbos is amazing! Any chance of a pic of the whole box of squig hoppers?

Your paintjobs are amazing - love the work especially on the Alpha Legion raptors. OSL is tricky to do and it looks great on them!

Thanks both for the kind words!

@gobert: I have tried, although I think I've failed, with the group photo

And a new lineman plus the first troll!

More great work muette.

Cheers,

CB

No failure there! Excellent!

The troll and lineman are super cool, the blue looks great on the big lad

Looks brill Muette, such vibrant colours!

Thanks for the kind comments dears!

Ok, two more goblins for my bloodbowl team, although now will probably come a big distraction. I will probably spend a couple of months now before putting any update (unless I do some wips, although I'm not used to actually!

Nice little goblins.

CB

Love the pogo dude! His little Jesters skull is really cool!

Superb work on all the different gobbos! A lot of fun models, and your paintwork's always a treat! Love the color variety on the squigs.

Thank you dears!!

Well, I've not dissappeared, buuuut I had quite a project in my hands!

Lion el'Johnson, the Primarch, the big dude himself. Had a vision on the base, and I'm quite proud to say that the result is preeetty near to what I thought about. There are things that could be quite much better (worms look like croissants, some gaps not filled, things like that) but all and all, very proud with the result. Hope you like it!

So much cool stuff I barely noticed the word! Absolutely phenomenal work as ever

Absolutely stunning!

Fantastic job! I think the worms come across properly, not to worry.

Exalted the Lion el'Johnson model there muette.

Cheers,

CB

Fantastic piece- truly excellent work!

There are so many balances of color that draw the eye that you don't realize the detail involved until you refocus: the dead critter on the base, the cloak, the hood, the shield, the sword and its powerful sheen. Excellent use of color and contrasting trim detail. The figure itself has excellent animation, which you've enhanced by making it part of its base/environment, not just sticking it onto a nicely terrained base.

Lots of fun to just look at.

Rock on!

Thank you all for your kind comments!! Glad you liked the little Lion, it was quite the effort but I'm happy too with the result.

Now I keep on working on the goblin BB team. Here is some Greebo goodness, Troll, troll markers, and the last lineman I needed to paint:

The Lion is beautifully done mate. Great palette and detail work - the cape is lovely and the base is cherry on top. Now the real question - are you a ham and cheese or a jam and butter on your croissants kinda guy?

Great progress on the Blood Bowl team as well. Love the blue on the trolls, and the gobbo blocker trying to look tough as nails!

Thanks for sharing 8-)

Lion looks amazing, same with the gobbos - Your color choices are spot on and I love the mirroring effect you get with both his cape and the dead gribblies.

Latest Bloodbowl stuff looking great

Thanks for sharing

Love these guys, especially those troll markers. The one with the stars spinning around his head is superb!

Beautiful work, as others have said the troll markers are a lot of fun too

I think I have seen a few fans at a game or two that looked like those trolls.
Very well done.

Thank you all for the kind comments dears, you leave fuzzy feelings in my heart :3

What better way to continue my painting journey than to paint some true classic old metal goblins, Now is the time for Skarsnik and Gobbla, true lord of Karak Eight Peaks:



Couple more images under spoiler:

The red to purple transition on the ol' squig is spectacularly 90s. I wholeheartedly approve!

First prize Golden Demon 1995!

Absolutely stunning as usual! The purple to red squig is gorgeous!

I remember those guys. You have done them justice muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you fellow DakkaDakka citizens!

I have now started a second unit of Boar boyz. Here the first two:

They look great!

The edge highlighting on the shields is amazing and leads me to believe you to be the patron saint of patience (and steady hands). Great job!

Looking good muette! How many boar boys does that make?

Thanks all!!
@gobert: With these two I have 7 regular boar boys all done, 3 remaining to complete 2 squads of 10. And in the pile of opportunity I have another 5 regular boar boys, Gorbad Ironhand and an Orc Savage Shaman. That I will paint at some undetermined point in time xD.

Now I have finished the Watchers in the Dark that came with the Lion. I will probably use them as glorified markers, but they are so cute I did want to give them a proper painjob.

20 boar boyz would be an impressive sight!

Great work on the watchers too, they’re super cool

More nice work there muette.

Cheers,

CB

Absolutely stunning work on Skarsnik and Gobbla! The classic style is well executed: the high contrast, volumetry, sharp edges and the green base rims. Chef's kiss!

Great work on the Boar Riders and Watcher's as well!

Your painting ability is off the charts! Love all the greenskins you're putting into the universe too.

Thanks all for the kind comments

And I keep with the green vibe! Couple more goblins for my BB team, plus a couple of ball markers from Greebo. Hope you like them!

Those look great. I really like how you painted that black cloak.

Exalted muette!

Enough said.

Cheers,

CB

Weathering looks gorgeous. Spot on.

Lovely work muette! So much skill on display with this pair of classics

Thank you all as always!

This time I've been faster than I expected. I wanted a challenge, and as I was going to start painting a Mordheim undead band (and a future witch hunters one too, but that in the future!), I used this opportunity to spice things on the painting side. I went for a limited palette of only 4 colors: black, white, red and ochre (also known as Zorn palette). And... it was a blast! Really enjoyable, no analysis-paralisis trying to decide for the next color, all was always there for me to mix.

So here the result, first zombies coming from the Zondara Underworlds band, hope you like them!

Magnificent work on the zombies. The goblin assassin from earlier is also top- notch.

Great work on the zombies muette. Their skin has a lovely sickly palor to it

Thanks for the kind comments!!

Ah, double update! Forgot to host the boar boss I painted some days ago:



Rest in spoiler:



And just now I finished the first two ghouls for my Mordheim army:



And more in the spoiler:

Amazing work on the old orc and gobbo models, you did them justice for sure!

Great updates Muette, your ghouls and zombies look ace!

Those ghouls are cheeky little minis! Great work as ever muette. Love the variety of textures that the Ork has, really nice stuff

Thanks boys for the comments!

And the banner boy for the boars is finished! Relatively quick job, bar the freehands of course hahah. It was a chore to track down this specific model, but I really wanted it in my collection. One more regular boy and the unit will be done!



More under spoiler:

Sweet banner work, now get finished with that last boar boy and get us a pic of the unit! seriously though, they’re going to look great all ranked up together

Very nice muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks all!!

I keep grinding down my undead Mordheim warband. The turn is now for the necromancer, from the Underworlds band. Face was tricky to paint, but it should work.

Spam?? Well, no, it's just that I have just the raider to paint up and the boar boys are finished! Two units do great job creating distraction and destruction (at least in OPR!). Hope you like them!



More angles in spoiler:



And unit shot!!

gotta love the old boar boyz.

Amazingly well done!

So many lovely orcs and goblins (and the occassional other guys) on this blog.

Keep it up - love the shading work on the shields.

Boar boyz and Necromancer are super cool. Love the book illustrations and text. I can see how that face was a challenge to get to as well

Very nice unit muette. You can feel the old world figure vibe from them.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you all for the kind comments, they fuel my motivation!!!

Another two ghouls for my Mordheim band. Now I will be jumping between heroes and doggos.



More angles in spoiler:

And now a Dreg! This was heavily converted using a Goresquire from the Warcry band.



More angles on spoiler:

Glorious ghouls muette, a really nice skin tone youve chosen for them

What an oddly beautiful dreg! Really nice paint job, muette! Well done.

I love it all!
Those boar boys in particular!

Thanks all for your kind comments!

Keep working on the band, although I'm too doing some buildings on the side for my home game table (hence the slow updates). Here is the first "dog" for my Undead Mordheim band, hope you like it!



More on spoiler:

Nice doggy. Cute little pooch.

I would not like to meet that pup down a dark lane. Super cool paint job, love the textures on them

Thanks Gobert!!

And second dreg is done! Heavily converted from one of the ghouls of the Warcry band, flagelant bits, the halberd is two axes from the old black orc set, and lot's of greenstuff. Hope you like it!



More under spoiler:

As always, brilliant updates Muette. Your painting is always inspiring.

The quality of your paintwork is absolutely brilliant, brings so much feeling to each model,,, can’t wait to see more,

Your painting is stunning, I love it. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Thanks all for your kind words!!!

Just finished a couple of classic sculpts for my goblin BB team. It's just shy of a star player troll to finish it completely so, I'm touching the prize!

Classic grots muette and excellently painted as ever!

Thanks gobert!!!

One more dog for the Undead Mordheim band. Nearing completion with those, only three left to finish the band! Although I will probably have to complement with more zombies or skeletons that count as zombies, considering the rules.Well, hope you like it!

That is creepy looking! Awesome paint job! Well done.

Fantastic color choices and layering on these minis.
Just outstanding painting.

Stunning, as always

Awesome paint job as always, that's also a great mini. What is it?

I love the painted texture on the fur and on the pants!

Great stuff. That Undead warrant is going to be amazing. Love seeing the classic BB minis, too!

Great work on the doggo, he looks great, especially the textured outfits

Nice work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks all for the lovely comments!

@Olthannon: The mini is from an Underworlds band, Zondara's grave-something something! It's the same set as the zombies and the necromancer I painted some time ago.

Continuing with the orcs, I repainted an old boar chariot! I had it since ages, with the wrong base size and reaaally beaten up, so it was deserving a glow up. Hope you like it!

Lovely chariot, though cart seems more appropriate for Orcs. The new base looks great, they always looked funny back in the day with the steeds on bases and the chariots wheels on the ground

Looks great to me. In feel like this model is older than I am (it's not, but a man can pretend). I really like the details on the base.

Thank you both!!

Now it's the turn for the leader of the band! Mean vampire model from the Royal Beastflayers set. Really fun to paint the skin cape, and bit by bit I think I'm getting "better" at the NMM. Lots to improve still. I will have to dedicate a bit to write the lore of this band, I have at least a selection of names done, so at least is a base to work on.

Wow excellent! Love the colour palette for the Strigori looking fella.

Another exalt or two muette.

Cheers,

CB

Really nice flayed skin this latest lad has

Wow. The texture of the skin cape is incredible. Care to share how you achieved it?

The intestine detail is... well... squelchy.

Thanks to all for your comments!!

@Zambro: Mainly by stippling brown to cream colours! Bit by bit and correcting whenever I went too far with a shade.

And the goblin Blood bowl team is finished! Here the last mini, the troll starplayer (forgot the name ). Hope you like it! Next is to finish the undead Mordheim band, paint up Gorbad from O&G, and to start the witch hunter Mordheim band. And some other sweets here and there

Such a cool mini and your usually high standard makes him shine! Since that’s the whole team painted, any chance of a Team Photo!?

Thanks gobert!! And yes, I think it was time for a team photo, I agree!



And on top of that, another doggo painted!

Beautiful paint work. I can see you really take the time to layer on the details.
Very complex painting.

Wonderful painting! Brilliant.

Really great looking figures.

Is there anything better than a group of well painted minis! Amazing looking team muette and then you treat us with another doggo, you’re spoiling us now

All your minis look great - after seeing a couple I went back through all 10 pages. You have a great style; it's very accesable, if that makes sense, like I can see where the work has been put in, and I can imagine I could do it too - with a bit of practice, maybe. Your use of colour is inspired. The banners are superb. Choice of minis is exellent and it's great to see full teams/regiments squads build up. Great stuff, looking forward to seeing more.

oh and you take great photos!

Thank you all for your kind words!!! @PaddyMick: thanks!! about the photos, I'm always doubting myself with the colour balance and the fogginess, always feel I could do better, but glad to know at least I'm improving.

Well, speaking of finished bands, the undead one is a wrap! Here the last dreg, and to celebrate, a group photo!

Awesome looking warband, they’re sure to scare the enemy away!

Both teams look amazing muette! You're doing excellent work on both vibrant and desaturated color schemes.

Oh man. The Marvel stuff was great, but your vampires and undead are just fantastic. That cold, dead skin tone is fantastic, and the skin texture you've achieved is really good.

More great work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you all for the kind words!!

After holidays and Easter break, I finally had time to finish my last project, Gorbad Ironhand! It's the old pewter version so building it was an absolute pain, and it weights a ton But pretty happy with the final result, even if there are some imperfections here and there from the sculpt.

Loving Gorbad! That bore must have strong legs to keep that much lead in the air! Great work muette

Thank you Gobert!! Fortunately the leg and the stone in the base is fused, so hopefully it will not break in the future!

New project! Second band for Mordheim, Witchhunters! Two flagelants to start, I have a couple of doggos and the first witchhunter primed, rest of the band still needs some greenstuff work to be done. I'll be intercalating those with some talon raptors for my Alpha legion. Hope you like them!

Nice flagellants, love the texture on their gowns. That bald one looks a bit vampiric though

Thanks gobert! In theory I think it represents that the mouth is sewn closed, but sculpt is old and I was a bit lazy hahahah

Doggos! Two more minis for the Witchhunters band down, more to come!

Beautiful work muette.

Cheers,

CB

Excellent doggos. They look great!
