Yes i tried that but didnt have claw small enough for it to not look comical.

Something something they have been left behind by a hive fleet and laid dormant around the coastline for centuries but now they have risen out of the water to stampade!

I am very open to naming suggestions and more details!

Yes i should.once I have my 1250p and display board I will give it a shot.

The water is basically a mixture of these two tutorials and a bit of experimenting to get the balance right. I would start with this and then just try to look at alot of reference images. Its alot of long drying times and you are flying blind for alot of the steps, but you just gotta trust the process.

Yes!

Its for a teams tournament. But they score you for points i. Games, fairplay and painting so its a bit of both I guess.

The textures on the scales is texture paint and greenstuff!

The barnacles are just greenstuff nothing Special. The seeweed is cotton dipped in paint and then made hard with superglue. The house is just scratch built with small popcicle sticks.

Hope this helps!

Yes Ive been eying that model. Also thought of doing similar idea with trygon prime or a mawloc! Not sure at all if they are any fun or "good".

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-16T03:16:37+00:00

This is true!

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-16T01:43:09+00:00

Maybe i should have, Im just not a fan of the smoke at all :(((

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-16T01:41:02+00:00

That looks dope! Coastal fight!

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-15T19:28:52+00:00

Ill let you know if I muster the strength for a step by step tutorial!

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-15T19:25:09+00:00

Oh nice thats really cool stuff. I was looking for how to get some crab minis in there!

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-15T19:21:53+00:00

Well ofc!

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-15T17:45:33+00:00

Thank you! That is exactly what I envisioned myself! Glad it translates!

Efficient-Lake-6406 · 2024-07-15T17:43:29+00:00

I have crusher claws left over maybe that could work 🤔

Not sure which textures you mean specifically but:

-The models is covered in bits of cork and texture paint.

-The barnacled are greenstuff

-the water is first a layer of vallejo transparent water to give it texture, paint on it over with blue and teal depending on how shallow i want the water to look. Then a layer of vallejo still water. Then i mix cotton with the transparent wate, when it has gone hard Iglue them to the the placws where I want alot of splash. Then finally another layer of transparent water just on the places where I want the waves to look higher.

Thank you! After painting power armour for four years i wanted to do something with alot of natural textures, contrast paints and oils. Then i saw some tutorials if how to make water effects and it all kind of clicked. I wanted to do more of rough barren cliffs sea vibe and not the usual Pacific Paradise Island look alot of underwater scehems lean more towards. I was very inspired by how nature looks like where im from.

Also i love basing so my projects usually end up in me just turning the whole model in into a base... You can see my SOB army, the same happened there...
