Call to Arms: Week 6


Week 6 of Call to Arms has come and gone, and if my maths is correct, this is the half way point!

 

This week I technically didn't get that much painting done, but I finished stuff, like these Von Ryan's Leapers:

I tried to have a transition going on with the top most scything talons, and it sort of worked, well, worked enough that I set about trying it again on this fella:

Can't see it at this angle but I darkened (with extra layers of Leviathan purple) the points of its claws, the edge of it'd knife horn, and the tops of its spine ridges.

 

A session, some syabrite green (I keep spelling that wrong), and a helping of Nuln Oil later, I had this:20230810_010027.thumb.jpg.ec7e69004debbb495a70bdb2aaa906df.jpg

Around about this time, I did a small test to find the new base rim colour I was going to use following several helpful comments. The choice was between Administratum Grey and Arky Painter's Ice Storn, the one I went with was...

Ice Storm. Its really effective at catching your eye and goes well with the rest of the colours.

 

Then it came to Friday, and I got my basing groove on.

I've started the long process of changing base rims over to the new colour, a little work here and there.

 

Call to Arms stats:

 

45*/47 miniatures painted

*3 aren't based yet, and that is the Von Ryan's Leapers. I suspect they'll be finished with the Screamer-Killer and psychophage.

 

So close to finishing now, so close in fact that I've already been thinking about what to paint afterwards! That will be a topic for another time.

 

Till next time,

Keep on hobbying!
