Storm:

Nice job Waaagh_Gonads.

Cheers,

Back to posting after (and still) grinding through magnetized resin terminators for HH (pics will come one day when all done).

Until then what else I have been up to.

First a Mimetic Assassin from Conquest, The Last Argument Of Kings that I did for a painting comp at my FLGS.

Really pushed the contrast.
The guts from the dead spirer is a mix of pva glue, then a drop superglue added and swirled with a toothpick. It thickens instantly and was ready to paint in 20 minutes.

This is a very rad sculpt I did not know existed - solid genestealer paint too

Shadowlands Daredevil from MCP

Black Cat [MCP]

Used a fire hydrant from the apartment block terrain pack to replace the original steel girder she was leaping off.

Dimensional Rifts from the Dormammu set from MCP.

Green, blue and purple mixed with metallics and then drybrushed for the balls.

The red is shades or ed or orange mixed with metallics and then a yellow wash over the top.

Dr Voodoo from MCP.
The purple on the smoke is all drybrush work.
The cape is my first ever attempt at wet blending and was very happy with the outcome.

Magik [MCP]
After taking photos I realized there was a smudge from the color used on the lips to the right of the face, and it was fixed (so the first pic is actually the last taken).

Solid work Waaagh_Gonads.

Cheers,

CB

Juggernaut

Biggerised pics linked by clicking on the pics.

Colossus [MCP]

Never thought I'd be adding purple to yellow, until the shadow layers for this model.

Some terrain from MCP.

Put into a 'Duel' painting competition at my local FLGS.

3 layers 3mm particle board.
Bottom base
Middle for the models
Top is bottom corner for a side walk.

The cuts are separations in pavement corresponding to the models bases.
Holes wer cut with a box cutter whilst the pieces were still seperate.



Dry fit the models


Added sand for rubble and fixed some holes.
Sand has mix PVA glue and water very thin to fix it in place for all time.


Undercoat cheap gloss spray (include the underside so doesn't warp the board). The board soaks up alot of moisture so you can need a lot of spray.


Painted as per road, rubble and sidewalk to match the models and my MCP basing.




Models added (terrain is blu-taced in place.

Ursa Major [MCP]

Crimson Dynamo from MCP
From Gal Vorbak red dry brushed all the way through red and oranges to Yriel Yellow.
The last pic with the model turned over shows the shadowed areas with most of the dark layers.
The newspapers as scatter debris on the base really pop.

Hood [MCP]
Now with Air Jordan 1s

Red Guardian [MCP]

The white is layered from administratum grey and the reds from Khorne Red to a mix of Wild Rider Red and Screaming Skull

Magneto never skips leg day:

Really pushed the reds from Gal Vorbak red (an amazing base paint for deep reds and has replaced khorne red for me) to Evil Sunz Scarlet.

So much great work, and good to see you back in action, but I particularly love your little MCP basing touches.

Looking good, back to it! Love the heroes

Thanks for the kind words.

Next up Darkstar from MCP

The purple of her superpower is greys from eshin grey up to administratum grey and then 2 washes of druchi violet, even out onto the ashphalt. Gives purple without the richness of traditional purple paints.

Also I wanted a low saturation for the blonde hair so used several bone colours and then yellow washed it.

Looks great, face particularly.

Hulkbuster and Iron Man [MCP]

The red is blood angels red directly over retributor gold, almost all in 1 coat.
All gold is black lined with rhinox hide.
With a chick-fil-a cup...

Looks fab, and I LOVE the basing!

Gambit and his tiny playing cards.

The coat is a whole pile of browns and beige-browns slapped on/drybrushed and then single thinned was agrax earthshade to tie together. Very happy with the textured result.

All great, but the cards are

Wow those playing cards are shockingly good.

The Ancient One from Marvel Crisis Protocol.

Used Reikland Flesh Shade for the 'black lining' and decided eyebrows were needed for an otherwise almost featureless face.

Kraven from MCP

Yes, he is wearing the skin of a lion's head as a vest.

Happy with:
The loincloth made with the leopard pattern.
The skin, tried a different technique with blending instead of washes and gave much more depth the skin.
Getting so many brown variants on one model and keeping them all separate.

Not happy with: the brick dust on the grass and ground, much too heavy on what I wanted.
Could have gotten a little more definition to the mane on his vest.
