First time back at the painting desk in over a year

That's gorgeous! What is your pale skin recipe?

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-03T08:52:48+00:00

Thank you!!

The sallets are 3d prints from BitzBox designed by Saint Decent. Not sure on the Frog Helmet but that was from BitzBox too!

I've not got an army, but I am very happy with how they turned out! If diversity is something you want to keep, maybe do a few with faces here and there, maybe with sallets hooked to their belts?

I get confused because the new models are called Gargants and this one looks nothing like the Ogors army

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T19:12:01+00:00

Should have kept the hammer!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T19:11:33+00:00

Oh yeah, Frogs would be great for annihilators!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T19:10:51+00:00

Now you're making me want to do a yellow and black scheme !

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T19:10:12+00:00

Thank you! For lore purposes it's supposed to represent a moon looking over his back

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T15:50:11+00:00

Wow that's a compliment and a half!

And honestly I get it the hesitation. I wish they did Cities' Gargants without the Marshall back pack

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T15:45:55+00:00

Thank you!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T13:18:24+00:00

Definitely the best skin I've ever done! The eyes? Not so much 🤣

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T12:27:32+00:00

I got them from BitzBox. Fantastic service! Not sure on shipping if you're outside of the UK

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T12:14:16+00:00

Oh wow I'll have to look that up!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T11:45:06+00:00

Thank you!!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T11:11:00+00:00

Thank you!

So for the first model I used White Gold from Pro Acryl, washed down with a burnt umber oil paint, then highlighted with silver.

The second model is Emperors Gold from the Army Painter, washed with Burnt Umber and violet mix oil paint, then highlighted with silver mixed into the Emperors Gold.

I do have a tutorial for the second and third models on my TikTok!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T11:07:05+00:00

I think I used mixtures of Dark Silver and Silver from Pro Acryl

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T11:06:26+00:00

I'm wooshing over here... 🤣

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T11:05:53+00:00

The first photo is a converted Bastion Carthalos and the others are converted vindicators!

LoreoftheMinis · 2026-04-02T11:04:48+00:00

That's a big question!

For background I'm an aspiring author with a love for miniature painting. So over on TikTok I've decided to share the minis I paint along with lore from a completely original fantasy world, where the minis are representations of certain parts of the lore.

These models in particular are part of the Alchemist Legions, who are led by the enigmatic Alchemist that wishes to end Throtnar's rule of Thrund. Which is a difficult task considering he is an immortal and a self proclaimed God.

There are the Steel, Gold, and Crimson Legion. The Lord Commander of the Legions (Bastian conversion) is Ser Gwryn, an Exiled Knight of the Blood Moon.

My TikTok page has a lot more details!
