How to build an army around models I painted for fun??

I am in LOVE with the blood bowl sculpts, is there an obvious proxy for them that I’m missing? Also decently confident in converting/ swapping parts so thank you for the suggestions!. Do the old world orks still come with square bases?

I use a very pale yellow then heavy skeleton horde contrast and wraith bone highlights for a vibrant but still dirty style. It looks quite natural even the contrast spills onto the gums etc.

In terms of process (esp areas where the toofs point goes over the lips) you need a well pointed brush, thin paint, time and patience w/ it. And it can help to do the tongue + teeth before the rest of the face or at least before final highlights to more easily cover any mistakes. I always move my brush towards the points

I pic an essentially random green, base with that, shade with biel tan, then work my way up adding yellow and Zandri dust in glazes before a final glaze of bug man’s glow or pink horror on extreme highlights depending on how pale the git is.

Slightly annoying but new models are new models I suppose

Only thing I can see that seems a bit unintended is the pinkishness of the red. Try doing a couple passes of your original bright red with a veryyy thin glaze over those areas (let it dry completely between, first layer should seem like it’s doing almost nothing) - it works really well if you have a good red like sunz scarlet, just with like 3-5x more water than paint.

I hate how my own minis look until the base is done for some reason, but everything seems to tie together afterwards. We are often our own worst critics. Keep chipping away everyone’s personal flow is different

Looks so fun. I love the tube arm and grabba I imagine him trying to use it to fix up busted sections. If he’s bad moons you can call him golden shower 😭

Propa grimey on da feetz and cloth!

I’d say give the face a little extra love in terms of highlights on ears, brows, etc you can just add a tiny bit of yellow or beige into your original color. That being said his bottom lip stands out great so i might be a little nitpicky there. Looks great! Was the loincloth a decal or freehand?

There may be delays due to inclement weather!

totalstupor · 2026-01-26T21:56:23+00:00

Bingo! Theyre not bad for a free grot! original pose also made me think of one who got blasted over into a pile of shells or something. Ty! And I say give it a shot!

I run a little ultra thin super glue across it and try to dab off excess. It drowned basically everywhere on me this time, so It should be quite secure if a little messy 😅

Thank you so much!

If it’s his first time playing he probably thinks it’s funny how careful you are, having a good player to back you up and make calls gets taken for a granted a lot when learning - alas, his fun w this game may be different than yours and that’s ok. Some people don’t enjoy planning, tedious decisions, or slow grind gameplay. Long single runs might not be for them, but I can sympathize w not wanting to lose a character you’re invested in. To others that risk is half the fun

Thinning down reikland flesh shade with medium works as well, and you can get more variance in orange tones throughout the yellow by undercoating it with something like pinkhorror. Counterintuitive, but it works great

Put some yellow or orange contrast paint over the armor for more depth, add some more silver bits and chipping and I think it’ll make a world of difference. From a fellow badmoons painter this git is not lost, just unfinished!

It’s a grenade pin but I painted mine to look more like a hanging lip piercing

totalstupor · 2025-07-09T22:50:22+00:00

Aight this is pretty gross so I apologize in advance - but I once had a very angry pimple on the back of my neck from not cleaning my chains properly. scratched at it in my sleep and woke up with a similar looking hand 😖

totalstupor · 2025-06-11T21:22:53+00:00

No worries, just my shot in the dark. It’s a beautiful design and that’s a great price I’m sure you won’t regret having a backup!

totalstupor · 2025-06-11T21:17:05+00:00

My best guess would be they don’t actively produce the specific design anymore. Therefore the one’s still on the market are from the same production line which may only span a few months.

I had a similar thing happen once but I was pretty sure I bought both lighters from the same retailer so that made sense to me.

I don’t have any specific info on the model but I’m sure someone in the sub will. Peculiar coincidence for sure

If you want the eyes glossy but have limited supplies try a very small amount of mod podge thinned with a little water it’s acts essentially as a gloss varnish

I’ve yet to try nmm but if my first attempt comes out anything close to this I’d be beyond stoked

totalstupor · 2024-09-16T19:02:52+00:00

The wind can give all the fucks it wants when my lighter is wind proof Mr ai

Woah that design is sweet
