Finished painting Gorbad, my favourite sculpt from Games-Workshop I think. Not sure I really did it quite the justice I was hoping for but it certainly passable I think. Little annoyed with the varnish it seems to have if anything ‘unblended’ some of my work. I think this was because I used a mixture of blending and shadowing with the shadowing being done with ink. When I brushed the varnish on it smudged the ink. Normally I would have probably written this off as a fancy and that I was just imagining things however I had used ink in the checkered pattern on the cheek guards, which when they smudged looked rather obvious on the white. Anyway I fixed the checks but wasn’t going to try repainting the entire thing so here it is.

That is very very nice!
I bet you can’t wait to that menace on the war games table?
I hope my Steg is ready then.. because it could end up as a head on clash… see who crumples in a pool of blood?
But I’m not painting or assembled my steg.. so your safe 🙂
Why not. Are you ever going to paint your 28mm stuff?
Do you want me to do it?
Not that I don’t have enough of my own to do. I have the Island of Blood box set now and so am busy assembling Tommy’s skaven. 40 clan rats + 2 rat ogres + 2 weapons teams + packmaster + warlock engineer + warlord is a pretty sizable painting project and thats not even taking into account all the high elves in the same box.
On top of that still have a small mountain of wood elves, orcs, goblins to paint.
And still a bunch of FOW stuff.
