It's Fantasy all the way...

Great work Meirion.

Love em

Yep, looking good

Bought these up at Warfare to use for fire tokens in Tusk:


I figured octagonal ones would work best with a compass d8.

Picked this up yesterday at Lidl:


Spludge of raw umber craft paint and I was good to go:



Not entirely sure about the result.

I keep forgetting how small 10mm figures are so the grains in the paste come up rather large. Also I probably over diluted it with paint so they are rather sparsely distributed across the surface.

Anyway, I'm sure with a dry-brush and a load of flock they'll come up fine.

I also decided to use the excess mixture for some pit edgings. Not a great success due to the over-dilution, but I'll have another go with the raw paste and paint them afterwards.

Cheers,

Meirion

Managed to get the dry-brushing done, but building two scooters for my twins scuppered my flocking!



I have a plan for the pits! 

[O Dinas Powys]

Inspired by Lemmy, I've managed a spot of cracking on with my Dark Elf horde, so here's progress so far:

Primed:


Sprayed black then overbrushed dark grey:


Slashed sleeves and house, hair and faces overbrushed white:



Unfortunately one of my second base of raptor riders have suffered from a lancetastrophy, so will be needing a spot of green-stuff to get him fully erect again  but in the meantime:


I painted the competition entries pre-stuck to the base, but found it a bit cramped for these chaps, so have reverted to lolly-sticks and double-tape!

Cheers,

Meirion

Looking good so far

[Fenton]

Leon?...Is that you?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice so far dude! 

[O Dinas Powys]

Just re-read my thread: so many projects, so few completed!   

Anyway, back to Tusk: fire bases and pits.  Did these a few months ago, but forgot to photograph them! 



If anyone produces MDF flames I'd like to get some, but in the meantme here's some Litko ones I got at Colours last year:

[O Dinas Powys]

Gave some of the Tusk beasties a go-over with Rustic Oak woodstain. Worked okay(-ish) 

Apologies for the dark and crappy photo, have to try for a better one soon...

[O Dinas Powys]

The terrifying Terraguayan Saddle-backed Nanotyrannus - test pieces for the raptor colour scheme. 

They're not consciously based on any particular real-world reptile, but influenced by several months poring through herpetology books at work and a desire to avoid a biologists "nothing that big would really be THAT colourful" mindset! 

There may be a chameleon out there somewhere that comes vaguely close

[O Dinas Powys]

Missile element, two units of crossbow-men and a unit of skirmishers:

[O Dinas Powys]

Nanotyrannus skirmishers.  These guys seem to have dazzle camoflage - or magic protection!  I can't seem to get an in-focus photo of them!

Great work, Meirion.
Will your camera let you 'spot focus' ?
If it will, I'd try 'aiming' at  the heads/bodies of the riders.
Otherwise move a little further away, and use the highest resolution you can...and just crop the shot.
Might work ?
Cheers - Phil.

Looking great sir!

Are the raptors with crossbows a conversion?

Thanks.

Umm, to be honest Phil I ought to get my camera out, all my photos are taken with my phone! 

Saves time uploading them to photobucket: if I took them with a real camera then I'd never post any photos... 

[O Dinas Powys]

Looking great sir!

Ta, that they be!

The riderless raptors are great for twisting into animated poses 

..the crossbowmen less so 

One got ripped in half at the waist - dangerous beasties these Nanotyrannus
