Thanks all! I absolutely love this shade of green I'm using for these vampires.

Thanks all! Sorry for being AWOL the last month or so. Little vacation and then starting a new job ate up a lot of time.
Meanwhile, I am moving on to doing 20 - TWENTY - hobgrotz.
Wish me luck. I did a simplified version of the complicated skin I did on the full orruks though, because I'm not insane. I never liked the yellow-skin hobgrotz either, so I went with a slightly more yellow-tinged green.

Skin looking good on those gobbos. There are so many AoS models that I don't know!
The green on the vampires is gorgeous. This is probably a weird compliment but it is the least Christmassy red-green combo I've ever seen, really suits her and pops against the armour (which looks amazing by the way - the way you've highlighted with pure white plus the dark shadows really makes it seem metallic).
Thanks for sharing!

Is that contrast paint or have your already started applying washes?

Thanks tzurk! Hahaha thank you for the compliment! I was worried about the red-and-green being too christmassy, but figured if I got the tones and shades right it would be ok.

This is contrast and a wash, very limited highlights.

Got the metallics started. Keeping with the same scheme as my Gutrippaz; black for most things, metallic red for spot colour (in this case, the grenade heads and the banners). With the main colours blocked in, this is more or less the big-picture of what the unit scheme will look like.

Thanks! It's slow going. 20 minis is too many. Not doing this level of batch again.
Decided that despite that I would go back to the skin and add more depth, and especially do the pink highlights on the mouth which worked so well on the full size orruks.

Thanks gobert! The lips are taking the flesh recipe, doing a 25/75 Warboss Green/Zandri Dust layer to lighten them, then Volopus Pink contrast to redden them, then Kislev Flesh highlight to lighten again, then Reikland Fleshshade wash to redden again, then a Volopus Pink contrast just on the gums and inside the mouth to bring those to a nice warm darkness. I did a similar recipe on the horn-blower's cheeks, just to a lesser extent, as below.

Tbh they're probably my least favourite of all the Kruleboyz units but eh. Though the ability to freely retreat from combat at the end of any turn and and do a mortal when they do is nice.
Here's the hornblower, almost finished. Got the blue tarnish down. Now 19 more to go!

And a finished unit of grotz! I didn't bother with much for the basing on these guyz, because they're just grotz. I much prefer my full size orrukz.

Thanks all! I am going to enjoy doing the rest of these orcs over time.
Next project is a quick little side project. I had a small group of Necron Warriors that were only half-painted, so we're bringing them up to snuff.

The satisfaction that comes from clearing things that are half done (and half remembered) is so very sweet (Less so the feeling of looking into the project boxes and realizing how many things you have half remembered). Loving the purple on the Necrons.
Do you use any tool to track your progress on painting items? I use Kanbanflow and I really like it (although I can forget to keep updating it sometimes, so then I add like fifteen things to the 'to build' category and feel very defeated.)

Good to see the Necrons returning, the purple and green always looks so good. Maybe I should paint up a few warriors next too
@blockade, I love that you’re using a kanban tool! I’ve tried pileofshame.com but got fed up loading everything in. My Space Marines have a spreadsheet broken down to Built, Primed, Painted. But that is more about building the rig by loadouts to fit my plans

Thanks guys!
I actually just keep an excel file of all to-do items, which I also use to randomly decide what my next project is. I weight them by how-close-to-done they are; the further they are from done, the more likely they are to be up next. Also weight by model count, so that large units (which are otherwise not exciting to do) are more likely to come up, so that when a monster, vehicle, or character comes up, it's a treat!
Green is done, started OSL on one of them before I realized I needed to do basing before I could do OSL!

Looking good Gwyn, I hate it when I forget a step, throws me off balance for a while.
Using your spreadsheet to choose what next is a good idea. Mine doesn’t have that functionality but I’d probably go the other way around and finish whatever is closest to being done for that endorphin rush!
Good luck with their OSL
