nzd31155 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yes yes I know it's not too fluffy but let's just accept that this warband I'm painting has enjoyed some of the demonic benefics of mucking around close to the warp and have accepted a few gifts here and there. Now that's cleared up I'm in the process of painting up a demon prince for my night lords. some WIP shots for you below with a question - what colour do I go with for the skin of the wings (between the fingers/claws). I've gone with pink skin to match my posessed and hellbrute etc.. I've used a red cape to tie in with the reds across the rest of the force. The sword was just to stand out - needs a bit more attention. I'm stuck on the wings. Black/dark grey? Dark blue? - don't like this idea as don't really want to tie it into the armour pale white/grey/pink - almost translucent - could add blood vessels to give some detail? Any suggestions? all C&C welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looks good so far! Go wih the translucent wings if you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 In the knight lords books some of them are definitely showing signs of the gods getting to them. Tens of thousands of them went rogue so it stands to reason that a few ended up as as a daemon prince. Look fantastic so far. I would go for lighter greyer on the wing membrane then add veins.

nzd31155 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 oh cool! I've just started the nightlords omnibus for inspiration. I'm definitely leaning toward the light wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looks awesome... Personally, I like the color you have going on right now - mostly because it's kind of creepy, which I think fits the aesthetic. Out of interest, what on earth did you use for the legs? They are very cool! Actually, an entire parts list would be appreciated if you have time! Look forward to seeing more. Cheers, Widowmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzd31155 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks! It's all one mini. Hi tech miniatures dethroner. Loved the sculpt, didn't look too cartoonish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzd31155 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 After trying out a bunch of colours, I think I'm settling for this. The brown in the shading ties in with the red/brown and doesn't clash with the rest of the model - i hope. Just need to tidy this up and replicate on the other wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Good choice, I think it works well and also acts as a good contrast to the pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzd31155 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 After what seems like an age, I've finally finished this model. Really struggled trying to balance the colours especially on the wings but am now happy with it. Tried a lot of different approaches and learnt lots of tips mainly never to give up on a model, just keep trying different approaches until something works!
