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.
