Hi folks,
I have been steadily plugging away at my DreadTober project, as I try to achieve some consistency with my hobby time (even if it is just a little bit every day). So far, I have focused on the small parts of the sub-assembly, including the head, claws and legs.
One thing I have noticed, which others have long mentioned, Seraphim Sepia is a hot mess to work with. Back when I devised this paint scheme with my mate Joel, Seraphim Sepia was beautiful to work with. A couple of generous coats on the model would be looking great. Now, it pools weird and has a gloss finish. I also get the sense that it is reactivating in weird ways. I have had to adapt my approach, painting very very thin layers and drying quickly with a hairdryer between layers. It is time consuming as heck; I am glad I don't have many Nids left to paint for that collection.
Anyway, I managed to finish off a rough conversion for the termagant as well, so that it is carrying a collection-relevant Devourer instead of a Fleshborer. I am thinking about doing some blood effects around the newborn Nid, I'll see how brave I am feeling.
Even though I "only" have the body to go, it feels like I have only scratched the surface on this model. We'll see what the next week brings...
See you across the table,
Marc
Army Painter Soft Tone is better, although it's no longer a copy of the original Gryphonne Sepia, but it's OK. Maybe give it a try? I love the Tervigon, it may be my favourite bug. In the past I've done it in exactly the same sub-assembly too! The colours on the head are looking really cool against the silver
ReplyDeleteI do like to start with some detail like the head when I'm nearing the end to motivate me to do the rest as well. But doing it right at the start would do the same only earlier! The Head and the little Gant already look great!
