Here is my Ogroid Thaumaturge from the Warhammer Quest Silver Tower box

Most of the shading on this model was done with an airbrush -- all the muscles, chest, horns, weapon, all that kind of thing. There were very few washes used (nothing on the body), though of course, the sigils were painted in with a brush. It's definitely one of the times when a finer needle made a big difference in the control necessary to accurately shade -- other than the prime/basecoat, most of this guy was done with an Iwata HP-BH, I think with a 0.2mm needle.

The quality of the model is really exceptional. For those who are familiar with the model's assembly, I airbrushed the difficult-to-reach spots it in a few pieces, first, then glued most of it together, filled gaps and that kind of thing, carefully re-primed the outer facings, and then painted it all. I love the models in WHQ.

As always, thank you for any feedback, comments, and criticism!!

Wow! Beautiful work there, Talys!

Lovely!

Great work Talys! My only crit is the base is too small (there is a mistake in the manual, he should be on a 50mm)

@Bottle - ahhh you are right, looking at the WD magazine! The instruction manual makes it look like the feet just barely fit the base or just go off the edges, so I picked 40mm. Oh well, it's just superglued on -- no pin -- so it's easy enough to change. I'll swap it, but too much trouble to take another set of photos. Thanks for the FYI!

@Crispy78, AngelofVengengeance -- thanks!

that is some beautiful work there, I really love the colour and shading of th green fire, and those horns are pretty much perfect.

In fact the horns are so good Im really surprised you didnt apply the same technique to the hooves, which is probably the only query I have with the paintwork.

Thanks, Eccentricnormality!

To answer your question about the color scheme -- yes, I quite like the way the horns turned out I think that, along with the orange spikey mane and the green flames "pointing" in the direction of the head, the whole idea is to draw attention to the face, which otherwise is dark on a dark model and fades into the background. I didn't want bright hooves to compete for attention.

I guess, the TLDR... too much of a good thing?

Fantastic

I'm generally not a big fan of airbrushing figures but this one did turn out really nice! KUTGW!
