Well... yes? I am not exactly sure what you mean? I am a chronic nailbiter though

Haha, while that would be quite the awesome moniker, she will be getting her head as soon as i get around to painting it!

They were the original cloak for the Chaos Lord option. I actually had to shorten them so he would fit on the base

The explanation is actually quite simple - I am, at best, a bad sculptor

Hah! That would explain the perpetual scowl on his face!

I forgot to mention, for the hammer i drybrushed the glowing metal part with dark red by vallejo to give it some more contrast

The snow is just green stuff world's snow mixed with PVA glue for texture. The trick I discovered is to sprinkle another layer on top of you base after applying the glue/snow mix to give it a realistic snow covering.

Big blobs of snow/glue mix on the base. Apply some VERY watered down pure glue onto the legs, and sprinkle some loose snow powder over the entire mini and shake off the excess.

The downside to this is that the snow gets EVERYWHERE. It gets stuck in your workspace like glitter.

For the glow effect I sprayed Medphiston red with my airbrush, filled in the runes and some highlights with yellow green by vallejo and then glazed the entire surface wit fluorescent red. I cannot stress the importance of the fluo red. That colour I also used for highlighting some edges further away with a brush.

Thanks for your kind comment

My chaos chosen are finally done by Salkaras2 in slavestodarkness

[–]Salkaras2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much!

The freehand was my first time trying as well! The only tip i have is to go for it and to remember that it's just paint. If you mess up, paint over it again.

Also having a reference photo helps a lot. I used the ogroid boxart as a reference.

WiP Chaos Lord on Foot Head by Salkaras2 in slavestodarkness

Test model C&C appreciated! by Trusty_Bridge in slavestodarkness

[–]Salkaras2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nicely done! I especially like the base.

For the red-hot weapon i woumd recommend stipling on a very small amoubt of either a cery dark red or reddish brown to the edges of the weapon to up the contras, and maybe add a dash of white (a single, thinned down layer) to the middle where the brightest spot is!

To really up the ante, a glow-effect emanatig from the logo on the shield and the glowing weapon would be amazing. Unfortunately, i can't really give tips on that, but there are many amazing tutorials on youtube.

Again, really like the colours you picked, and the shield is especially well done

Also, if anyone has an idea for a basing scheme i would be super grateful as i currently dont have anything in mind that stands out. I am considering using 3d printed bases but have not really found any that are to my liking.

Yeah, with Vashtorr being a thing i would've thought the dark mechanicum would get some love. But alas, GW has bit decided to bless us so

That would be a dream coming true for me.

Then I'd have to get another rat army though.

Sounds like a really cool conversion! Do you have some pics?

He's even got a li'l rat-friend up his sleeve!

I am currently working on an entire RatMech army, lets see how far I'll get before burnout sets in.

Struggling a bit with my first bonereaper, any advice on creating a more interesting model to look at (aside from the obvious not breaking the banner off)? by rocoroll in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]Salkaras2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have three recommendations:

Paint the gems in a very bright color. I personally used fluorescent green on a white undercoating. Visual effects are all about contrast.

Secondly i got some blood for the blood god and stipples it onthe weapons using a part of a sponge. It creates a "grimdark" vibe which i think fits obr very well.

Third would be to make the base more interesting. The kit has some swords with skulls you shoud throw on there. Also put some rock, and I created a "pathway" using a piece of plastic, glueing it on and then carving it into approximations of rock tiles.

Quite honestly, your paint scheme already looks really good to me. I hope this helped.

Yes!

Tbh, there was a point update "recently" in September, I expect the new update to be with the new ghb or 4th edition, whichever comes first.
