My first Reaver to join the fray, danglebro no.1!

Really nice painting on the skin, cool effect on the blade - good stuff!

Cheers! The skin and blade are all new techniques for me so it was fun experimenting.

What was the skin recipe? It looks very good.

Thank you! It is a little complicated...

1. Rakarth flesh tinted with Altdorf guard blue
2. Reikland flesh shade wash
3. Drakenhof nightshade wash
4. 50/50 rakarth and flayed one with Altdorf guard blue tint
5. Flayed one with Altdorf tint
6. 50/50 flayed one and pallid wych flesh with Altdorf guard blue tint
7. Pallid wych highlight with Altdorf guard blue tint
8. 50/50 reikland/Drakenhof glaze

The scaring is that mix tinted with wild rider red.

I've never painted human flesh before so wanted to play around a little.

Nicely done! Good depth throughout the color, and the blade is different in a good way. Thanks for sharing, hoping to see more.

My pleasure! Arnulf is on his way in the next day or 2!

Very creepy looking skin.

But "Danglebro"? Is there some key bit of fluff you're omitting here

Haha not fluff as such but most warbands have a few models who are pretty average who you "dangle" out front as bait or do risky suicide moves. The Reavers also inspire when 3 fighters die so having 1-2 of you danglebros die is actually beneficial :-D

Arnulf joins the fray in the mirrored city!!

Feedback always appreciated

Great work on those two minis! The skin tones and jade/emerald daggers are amazing!

I wanted to learn a new skill with the shadeglass/gem effect and push myself to get some new skin tones!

More to come

Nice work, I particularly like the scarring and the axe blades.

I'm still getting the same error.

I’m not quite sure what the trouble is but I have alerted the admins. In the meantime, you could try uploading them to the gallery.

Thanks!

I have loved painting them. Garrek is just waiting for varnish!

Really awesome, nice touch on different skin tones.

And they are done!

The first Farstrider!

Really nice work all around. I like the color palette for the reavers particularly.

Thanks! I didn't want to go to rogue with them!

All great stuff!
I love the colour scheme on the Farstrider, the orange + blue is a great combo.
The brightly glowing blue eyes on the last two are amazing! Cool colour scheme there as well.
