First up Njal quite pleased on the whole may touch up the gold and the skull on his staff also a shot of him without his arms




Grey Hunter



Rune Priest



Both have since been based

and my last rune priest first model painted since i semi restarted this army



hope you like tonnes more stuff to paint so will gradually add more as i go
Comments and criticism always welcome

Well done.

That armour gets me excited. I wish I could touch it.. or it could touch me. Excuse me, I need to use the washroom.

Good job all roud, but your faces look especially good!

Nice work, a solid effort all round. If only i could paint faces like that, any tips on how you did the faces?

Thanks guys, glad you like them may start up a plog on here.
@barksdale
glad you like the armour, i always get worried that its too dark compared to the gw painting style but i prefer it personally

@mrmerlin & HelSinG

Thanks guys quite pleased with the faces always been something (i think) i'm good at painting
with regards to tips for painting faces a very very fine brush always helps but it's just about gradual highlights, i do mine with a base of tallarn flesh washed with ogryn, then heavy highlight of dwarf flesh just leaving deepest recesses usually around around mouth, nose etc then i just keep adding a little bit of bleached bone to dwarf and highlighting as i go until i reach a shade i'm pleased with if i start a plog i may do a tutorial of how i do it

Nice painting. I agree the faces look great. The last guy looks even better than the others. I hope we will get to see more!

Out of interest, Dan, how did you do Njal's ginger hair?

Amazing work. I wish I could paint like that but I can't and that is why I went with an Ultramarine army. =D

@peebs

Thank you very much I'll gradually post more as i paint hopefully

@dysartes
if i remember correctly was a base of mechrite red washed with devlin to pick out the recesses, then gradually added blazing orange and dry brush over getting lighter as i got to the the centre, then the final highlight was blazing orange with a touch of iyanden to make it super bright in the bits that stick out most sounds harder than it is but most of my painting is just adding a lighter colour to a darker one bit by bit till you reach the colour your after hope that helps

@synister

Thanks it is just practicing i used to paint really badly thick paint single colours, once you pick up a couple of good techniques you're set really, i to have an ultramarines army bit more speed painted than my SW

I've always wanted to do a SW army but could never get them painted right, maybe after I finish painting up my Ultramarines I might pick up some SW and give it another go.

Practice makes perfect

anyway couple more grey hunters done

These look really nice. I particularly like your Njal.

alot of depth to the model, very nice

These are great! I have to echo the face comment. Outstanding work in that department.

I love the rune priests detail work, very good work!

Your grey hunter looks great, you have the nack for painting faces and eyes.
