WIP Greenskins

The following is what I have been working on over the last few evenings in preparation for the games weekend in Invercargill in a weeks time.  Apologies for the poor quality image and lighting.  A number of the models are unbased simply because that takes time and my focus is on getting them painted first.  Also there is a glossy look to them as in the photos they’ve just been overcoated in matt varnish which is still wet.  (I had taken the photos prior to the clear coat but hadn’t used a tripod and they’d come out a bit blurry).  Lastly included are some Skaven weapons teams which I’ve not photographed properly yet but thought I would add them here whilst I had the camera out.

Gorbad Ironclaw (two)

gorbad_updated

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.

Orc Boar Boy

Boar Boy

I bought and painted this figure for my eldest son James who is eight.  He really likes Orcs (not goblins, just orcs) which is useful because thats an army I collect and play.  I painted this figure much quicker than I usually paint and it probably shows a bit in the lack of detail.  Still it’s a nice clean job though this perhaps isn’t the best angle to view the model.
