Hi folks,
The past couple of weeks (or has it been months??) I have been slogging away at a Van Diemen's World Veteran heavy weapons squad for my mate Wade. They were meant to be a Birthday present, and then a Christmas present, and now here we are half-way through February! I love painting them, but they are hard. It is just a really intense project. At the moment I am working on the heads, which have taken 1-2 hours each. I'm hoping that once that is done I will feel better about it all and push through to get them finished at last.

To give my eyes a break, I also painted a Hive Fleet Numereji Termagant brood for #squaduary. You can hardly see the pigment going on, so it really is a leap of faith when you sweep that paintbrush. After a few coats though, the reflectivity builds up, and if you turn it just so... well... take a look for yourself.

Rainbow serpent, indeed.
Very cool! Love the green arnoud your Termagant's eyes - someting between a glow effect and warpaint. I still have some unfinished ones lying about as well, maybe I should paint those? Haven't touched a brush to 40k models in a while...
ReplyDeleteCheers :-) The green is more of a skin pigment than a glow effect, but that is hard to tell on things this size! On the larger beasts it is a little more obvious. You should paint some too!
Deletehope they improve their performance from the emu crusade
ReplyDeleteThe shame of the Great Emu War of 1932 will never go away :-)
DeleteLove those VD Vet heads and the basing scheme, superb, very characterful and Oz like.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate; those bases are done with quality outback NSW dirt!
DeleteThat paint is giving your gaunts a whole new lease of life. They look fascinating, well worth the effort I think to update them.
