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.

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?

Post by: muette


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!

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.

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?

@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!

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.

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

Post by: muette


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


Muette's blog of little soldiers @ 2022/10/19 18:18:19


Post by: muette


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!

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

Post by: muette


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.

@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!

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

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!

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.

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

Post by: muette


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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 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

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!

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
