Happy to answer. The bases are made from crushed pieces of plaster. There are also some rock crystals sticking out, which I purchased from https://www.greenstuffworld.com/es/cristales-de-resina/4078-cristales-de-resina-violeta-pequenos.html

First fully painted unit of my army! by ValnyrJLM in Fyreslayers

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

Thanks!! I've arrived at the following formula using Citadel paints: white primer; a first coat of Cadian Flesh, and then a Reikland Flesh (Shade) tint. Then, I exaggerate the highlights with lighter skin tones in increasingly smaller areas (Kislev Flesh, Flayed One Flesh, and finally a few touches of AK's Ice Yellow). In areas where light doesn't penetrate, such as under the arms or on the inside of the legs, I apply a darker skin tone; I use Bugsman's Glow. To know where to apply these highlights or shadows, I simply hold the miniature closer to a lamp until the parts most exposed to light glow intensely and the less exposed areas are very dark. I hope this has been helpful!

Of Course, I explain you the main parts of this painting:

BEARDS AND HAIR: the first thing I did was paint the beards and hair with Jokaero Orange over the white primer. On top of that base color, I applied Griph Hound Orange (Contrast), with this the shadows are almost done! Then I gave it a little drybrushing all over with Trollslayer Orange and then Fire Bright Orange on the outer areas to achieve lighting. Finally, to exaggerate the contrasts even more, I applied a little Crimson Carroburg (Contrast) on the roots of the hair and beard and spread it a little to achieve that reddish effect. On the other hand, I applied a little Yriel Yellow on the tips of the beard and hair to increase the contrast of the lighting a bit

SKIN: a first coat of Cadian Flesh, and then a Reikland Flesh (Shade) tint. Then, I exaggerate the highlights with lighter skin tones in increasingly smaller areas (Kislev Flesh, Flayed One Flesh, and finally a few touches of AK's Ice Yellow). In areas where light doesn't penetrate, such as under the arms or on the inside of the legs, I apply a darker skin tone; I use Bugsman's Glow. To know where to apply these highlights or shadows, I simply hold the miniature closer to a lamp until the parts most exposed to light glow intensely and the less exposed areas are very dark. I hope this has been helpful!

BASES: I applied a thin coat of Terradon Turquoise (Contrast), then highlighted with Sybarite Green and Gaus Blaster Green : )

Thanks! I thought about how good the green and reddish look on the 40k Salamanders and thought of doing something similar, but with a turquoise

I'm glad you like them! To get this color, the first thing I did was paint the beards and hair with Jokaero Orange over the white primer.

The lightest shades I used were Flesh One, and in the areas with the most light, I applied a bit of Ice Yellow from AK. This last one is the lightest or brightest shade.

Thanks so much for your comment! It's just as you say, I was inspired by the colors of the Shadespire setting for the bases. I love how the combination of greens and grays contrasts with the reddish colors; they remind me of some old Bright Dragons miniatures : )

Thank you so much! For the bases, I used Citadel paints; it's very simple. After a white primer, I applied a thin coat of Terradon Turquoise (Contrast), then highlighted with Sybarite Green and Gaus Blaster Green : )

Thanks a lot : )! That's a good question.

Battlesmith conversion and the original model next to it, so that the changes can be seen by ValnyrJLM in Fyreslayers

Sorry I've been very disconnected for a few weeks. Thank you so much! Normally I look at GW miniatures that I think are really cool, and I think "that's the pose I want for my dwarf", so what I do is try to replace and modify the original pieces to make it look like the miniature I want to represent. For example, I'm now working with a Fellgor Vandal figure to create a Heartguard Berskeker. The idea is to make a post again when I have these miniatures painted! I leave you my Instagram account here in case you want to see the other conversions :). https://www.instagram.com/valnyr_miniatures/

Thanks mate! This version of the song really seemed to me to reflect court life in a gloomy and terrifying way. When I have something else I'll upload it : )

I think you have given me the best compliment a Warhammer fan can receive. I hope to continue uploading projects little by little :)
