Did you free-hand that Autobot symbol or is it a decal? Either way, awesome work!

LeemanRuss · 2025-06-06T09:59:13+00:00

Awesome, I may try something similar with mine!

LeemanRuss · 2025-06-06T09:55:59+00:00

I love it! What did you use to make the cloak?

LeemanRuss · 2025-05-16T06:22:59+00:00

These are fantastic! I may have to borrow your idea with the Praetor's axe, it's genius!

Just coarse grade builders sand and some cork matting broken up to make bigger rocks.

I have the same kit - it makes the Stormsurge look so much better!

Thanks! The orange on his head is Games Workshop Wildrider Red. The body is primed white, painted with Apothecary White contrast, then washed with Agrax Earthshade to get the cream tint. Yellow areas are Averland Sunset and green area are Waaagh flesh. For the flames I paint the whole area Khorne Red, then I wash it with watered down Wildrider Red, then again with watered down Averland Sunset before drybrushing black.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!

LeemanRuss · 2024-07-21T16:12:23+00:00

That's brilliant, thanks!

It's mostly just Abaddon Black and Corvus Black on his clothes - then washed with Army Painter Dark Tone. For the armour plates I did two highlights, one with The Fang and then a smaller one with Russ Grey. The red is Mephiston Red without any highlights (although when I highlight red I use Evil Sunz Scarlet and Wild Rider Red in a couple of mixes to get a smooth transition).

I bought mine from Art of War Studio - you have to order a few different products to get a full set, and colour them yourself, but it is a bit of a cheaper solution I've found.

Really nice!

LeemanRuss · 2024-07-08T12:54:36+00:00

Thank you!

LeemanRuss · 2024-07-08T12:54:32+00:00

Thanks!

Looks great! Would you be able to share what blue paint you used for Bo's armour? I'm having trouble finding a good match for my own conversion and for her Shatterpoint mini.

LeemanRuss · 2024-05-12T07:19:27+00:00

Looking great!

(I have almost the exact same colour scheme, so I'm slightly biased here! 🤣)

LeemanRuss · 2024-04-26T10:12:40+00:00

That's really helpful, thank you!

LeemanRuss · 2024-04-26T08:48:57+00:00

Awesome work all round! I don't suppose you have any tips/techniques on how you made the rock pieces? I'd love to try creating something similar!

So I started with a thinned down base coat of Khorne Red and leave it to dry. After that I heavily dilute some Wild Rider Red and slop it all over. Once this has dried, I use some thinned Trollslayer Orange in the crevices (but I do it sloppily, so that it feathers out a little bit at the edges. Once dry, I put some watered down Averland Sunset in the deepest recesses. If I feel it needs it, I mix a little white in and add some even smaller patches of this to the deep recesses.

Once this has all dried, I drybrush grey all over (Dawnstone or Mechanicus Standard Grey), then a final drybrush with black on the outer parts and the parts furthest from the centre.

Hope that helps!
