Rogue Tent Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Okay, keeping it short, recently got back into painting, have the intention to play as well if I get the forces, and that hench rulebook. Anyway, recently finished 6 models up to a point, they lack eyes and horn helmet detailing, otherwise they're okay. So, B&C, C&C appreciated, and I hope I've done well enough for some Night Lords players! http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Doku_Dk/Night%20Lords/100_0796.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Doku_Dk/Night%20Lords/100_0797.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREY88 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Great start! I think they look good for a jumping off point. Go in and wash your gold parts to darken them up. Fix the mistake areas. Start your highlights and add the all important lightning effects. I actually want to see what you come up with so do the work and show us all pics :D. Grey.

Son of Carnelian Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Needs more lightning! But otherwise, they look good! Follow Grey's advice and they'll look even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Tent Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Lightning done, working on highlights on some other models.. probably a bit to thick... and probably to much of it.. C&C appreciated http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Doku_Dk/Night%20Lords/100_0802.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Doku_Dk/Night%20Lords/100_0801.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/Doku_Dk/Night%20Lords/100_0798.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 While this is a great start, and Night Lords is an ambitious paint scheme, there's a few things I'd consider. I'd suggest going a little lighter with the lightning, both in the amount of paint, and how much is on the model. It's personal preference really, I don't thing every surface needs lightning everywhere. Just a 2-3 bolts jumping across select surfaces - you don't want to brighten that wonderfully dark looking armour too much. You're aiming to add some striking variety, not overwhelm the miniature. Take some time to practice the lightning technique on a test miniature or some old sprue as well. It seems that your putting the paint on a bit thick, and it would really benefit from being thinned down. With thinned down paint, try to let the tip of your brush just barely touch the surface. Try to let the brush tip 'wander' a little, while adding the odd random direction change here-and-there, just how lightning 'zig-zags'. That should give more subtle looking bolts that have the 'crackle' effect you're going for. Please take this as constructive criticism. You really are off to a great start, and building painting skills take time and lots of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
