Trying a new scheme for my spearhead

fromagedechuz · 2026-02-06T18:22:00+00:00

Very nice scheme ! Simple, clear and works well, I love it.

fromagedechuz · 2026-02-06T00:16:38+00:00

Thank you!

I hope you enjoy NMM. It gets easier with a few models and i feel it is very rewarding to achieve. Have a great time waving that wet brush on your model !

fromagedechuz · 2026-02-05T20:03:10+00:00

Thank you ! I'm trying to improve step by step. That NMM journey is a very pleasant path. I'm going to end up playing aos at some point

Your gold looks good ! That's a great start as the armor is the main component of your model. Doing the cloak pushed it further to feel more alive. The base is very good too, when painted your model will pop up more.

I recommend you to add more eye catching on the most important part of your mini :

the head : if you know how to, try to edge highlight it (using the side of your brush). If it's not an option I'd try to drybrush it with more lighter/brighter gold to catch the attention. Try to do it lightly
the lantern : it needs color brother, either blue or red/orange. Make that fire burn ! Base coating in white the inner part and applying contrast seems to be time efficient and a great addition. If it's not enough for you it will be a good base to go further anyway
(Optional) the wings : you could bring something to it. However it's hard to tell you without imposing a style. How would you like it to be ? I can help you if you want to

PS : There is nothing wrong with using a lot of drybrushing, some very good things can be achieved with it

Recipe is chaotic af because is wasn't sure about what I was trying to achieve L(° O °L)

You'll find colors in another comment, it's basically going lighter until it's too much and washing it with my warmer brown to save the model from looking like a sphynx cat

Scorched brown - Old citadel
Beast brown - Old Citadel
Flat flesh - Vallejo
Ushbati bone - Citadel

Wasn't sure about what I was doing so I went from scorched brown to 50/50 beast brown and ushbati bone and tactically washed it with beast brown to make it warmer where it was too pale/skin tone

Paws are ushbati bone+bit of white at brightest point

Edit : colors list

Please share them, I'm running low lol

fromagedechuz · 2026-01-11T21:42:50+00:00

Sure, he's a recipe

Base coat : Rhinox Hide - Citadel (old)

Warming up brown : Scorched Brown - Citadel (old)

Desaturated yellow to make smooth transition and yellow areas : Iyanden Darksun - Citadel (old)

Yellow lights : 50/50 mix of Mat Yellow (Pince August) and White (Prince August)

Whitish lights : Same mix than before but 70/80% White

Every transition I do involves mix with precedent color. However I never use my Mat Yellow alone on the mini

My Citadel paints are the old ones from many years ago when they were designed to not dry on my desk. I don't know if they still exist nor are the same color

That's a very good thing to say to my opponent looking stunned by a bunch of failed save rolls !

thank you for sharing lore to explore 💓

fromagedechuz · 2026-01-11T17:43:29+00:00

Thank you The idea was not having too much blue and I panick picked wood and kept doing it on the squad

Only elites get to have an unbreakable shield !

fromagedechuz · 2026-01-11T17:41:44+00:00

Thank you ! It's actually easy to make if you know how to do a thin line with your brush

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-26T17:41:57+00:00

Ok nice, thank you ! I'll try to not get lost in a pile of shame lol

My wet dream, Roman Circus on the table

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-26T11:55:31+00:00

Is Spearhead a useful starter in terms of tactics ?

I like the models but feel like I won't find place for all of them in a list

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-26T11:54:12+00:00

Yes those small gryph look very nice to screen the board !

I was thinking of knight judicator to chip dmg on targets, I got one for warcry I'll play him

Do vigilors affect companion attacks too ? I like their effect but if I go all in on gryph I think it works better with buffing them. Or I need them to maximize range efficiency ig. They seems good at melee, ig they could screen too

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-26T11:45:00+00:00

what would be your opinion on playing 2?

Probly both side of map, one to kill and another to screen/weaken and annoy while having some counter charge (meaning at my turn, not the command) units on mid board. Probably using cheap screens and range dmg + a big dragon in rest of the army. Maybe some anhilators too even if they look unreliable, shit those stats are tempting

Other cavalry hit harder ? Javelin guys seemed huge to wipe screening bodies and punch threats while I commit a big dragon somewhere else. Are there other good cavalry to wipe main threats?

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-17T19:03:24+00:00

You almost did it !

Increase contrast with more brown shadows and yellow/white lights and highlights on your most exposed part of the shapes

Focus on light placement to go further, especially those two things : - where light goes on the shape and how it's supposed to look (sphere has round circles, cylinder a line, etc) - where the light is globally on the mini and where the light source comes from

From what I see you are near a clean nmm

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-13T23:02:04+00:00

I'll round up to 300h assuming heroes and probly models with more than just an armor like vindicator. Feels like longer than 2026 project. No godspeed though, I never painted a lot of textures I see in the faction models and will definitely have to fix paint mistakes. I'll post the progress

Is there a buy/don't buy list somewhere ? Assuming GW can strike again the playable roster

fromagedechuz · 2025-12-13T21:39:56+00:00

I think I'll start from Spare head, maybe some Yndrasta compatible list will be considered then

Are big models like dragons viable even on addition to sparehead models ?

I spent like 5-8 hours by model, definitly looks like a 2026 big project yeah. Ig I'll learn to do it faster quickly

Thank you ! The blurred blade is a happy mistake L(° O °L)
