Counts in progress

looking good mate, really like the grave guard, i think my only suggestio would be a wash of chestnut ink over the gold and maybe a very fine highlight of mithril silver

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

The swords look great, like how you have done them. I do agree that the gold needs dulling down / some shading, but overall good work.

 

[witchking1980]

thanks again all for your comments and your suggestions!

as for the gold I would agree that it could be one tone down or maybe more, but if you have the miniatures in your hand and in normal-physical light the gold color is indeed toned down and this can be seen in the 2nd photo which is taken without flash.

I really hope to finish them and upload the whole unit

 

[witchking1980]

I have finished the models with swords and now I am working on the others with axes

except grave guard I have tried to paint my first spirit host model

 

[witchking1980]

For the spirit host I have used the technique of Serdrallitoc's plog using chaos black to skull white with the variations of grey in the middle. I will test soon with the variations of blue using as basecoat regal blue. Do you think that I will have the same results or maybe a more brighter/glowing spirit host?

 

[Boo]

I think that your GG look great, I really like the effect with the GG together.

Seth version of the spirithosts are awesome, good choice of inspiration there.

I think that the blue might be more bright and glowing spirit, and that might just be a good thing, go for it and post the results!

 

[witchking1980]

I hope tomorrow to post the new experiment

 

[witchking1980]

this is the test using variations of blue

I would like your opinion...which do you like most?

 

[witchking1980]

finally, I have finished grave guard :devil2:

 

[Nikos]

great looking Grave Guard unit, nice colour scheme and banner, the blades in particular are awesome. Well done.

 

[witchking1980]

Thanks Niko, I am really satisfied with the results even if this unit took me many hours since I had to experiment a lot with the colours and techniques in order to achieve for example the blades. Now, I am waiting for Onikaigo to set a date for the X gamers painting project and paint my spirit hosts :ghost:

 

[desfer]

great job i rly like your GG, their weapons are awesome!!its like a deadly aura is surrounding them!!! btw i like the 1st photo with spirit host more than the other one.

 

[witchking1980]

I wanted to give them this magical aura feeling and I hope that I did it pretty well. As for the spirit hosts indeed the 1st one is what I want to do and I will soon

 

[witchking1980]

Spirit Hosts are ready, I have pledged for the Tale of X Gamers where I have a plog but I will update this one too.

 

[Santawraith]

A very beautiful done radience on them from light to dark. You have done them exceptionally well, good job

 

[Boo]

Yes, splendid work! Those models are awesome to use as Spirit hosts.

 

[logan054]

spirit hosts are looking great mate! that is certainly a good idea which i may be stealing in the near future

 

[witchking1980]

As I have said the whole idea/technique belongs to SethDrallitoc and to be honest many of us have used it and many will use it in the future

 

[Boo]

Yes Seth method is pretty god damned awesome.

it sure will be.

 

[witchking1980]

Just an update of my plog, though the corpse cart is pledged for the Tale of X gamers

 

[merenwen]

Loving your work! especialy the spirit hosts, wolves and corpse cart! very unique and bold. it works really well!

 

[witchking1980]

Thanks Merenwen, I really try hard enough to make minis look unique and I am happy that people can see that

 

[Boo]

Stunning work on the corpse cart! Simple awesome.

The purple look really good and you've done a smashing job on the flame. Can't wait to see your models based.

I can't wait too, but I am waiting to paint a sufficient number of models to base them all together in once

Thanks for the encouragement Boo

My little monster is ready and alive!
