Teetengee Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 Alright, first maybe done paint job, though curious if anyone things it needs more. Right now it is pretty understated. I am limiting myself to the john blanche army painter paints + tesseract though, with the goal of pushing myself a bit. it probably doesn't help that the lighting is very weird Dr_Ruminahui, BadgersinHills, RolandTHTG and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385038-space-skaven-spavenerrr-skace/page/7/#findComment-6128767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 He looks great! Although if you are worried about the model being understated, perhaps adding a few daubs of various shades of rust-colored wash here and there might add more points of interest. Space Skaven are probably not known for keeping their equipment in pristine shape. Yes yes, rust rust.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I think he's great, but I think he would benefit from his head being a different colour than the mechanical bits, as it leaves him with a wierd "not fully painted look". Maybe a muted and/or desaturated brown?

Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I'm not certain - and I'm worried it would go against the Blanche style colour scheme that you are going for. Rather, I think our conflicting images are in how we see the head - to me, its contours speak to me as it being cloth or flesh/fur, where for you it speaks as being metal. I don't think there's anyway to square that circle and we should just put it down as a difference of vision - in which case, I think you should stick with your vision and do what works for you.

Teetengee Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Ok, I've done a little more work to push contrast, and try to suggest some weathering (staining in the cloak, warpstone staining around the points of emission, oil on the joints) as well as cleaning up some pieces here and there. I think this is done until basing: Dr_Ruminahui, space wolf, BadgersinHills and 3 others 2 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385038-space-skaven-spavenerrr-skace/page/7/#findComment-6129489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 A photo of the fully painted minis so far (no basing yet, but still considering it) Did not succeed at my vow, alas, but did get a lot of paint down and am continuing on with it. Next up are rat ogryns, which I'm having a lot of fun with: Looking for advice on what color/color combination/color pattern to do their fur. I'm thinking they should be a more mutation cultivated rat, like double rexes, nakeys, etc. but it doesn't boil things down much. They're subjects of science-rats experiments, so not quite the lab rats themselves (PEW) in general, but are something adjacent, and potentially bred for purpose.

Tallarn Commander Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I use a panoply of colors for fur. But my favorite fur recipe is: Fur Recipe "Skrag" ■ Basecoat: Mournfang Brown ■ Wash: Agrax Earthshade ■ 1st Drybrush: Skrag Brown ■ 2nd Drybrush: Deathclaw Brown BadgersinHills 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385038-space-skaven-spavenerrr-skace/page/7/#findComment-6133082 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of, decided on black fur on one of them!

Tallarn Commander Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 The fur looks great! I had flashbacks to my army being ambushed by a Skaven army with tons of Rat Ogres in Warhammer Total War 3.

Kommisar_K Posted Friday at 09:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:51 PM I just joined yesterday, noticed this thread and just had to read. These builds are awesome! Cool paint scheme, especially on the rat-ogryns. My fav model from these is the mining rig, really looking forward to seeing how it turns out when painted. Its so deeply, delightfully disturbing :D Commendable dedication and awesome results! Best of luck continuing the project.

Teetengee Posted Sunday at 02:03 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:03 PM Thank you so much everyone! I'm really enjoying pushing myself on these at a bunch of different hobbying skills. I do have some ideas for next steps once I get all these painted, but I might work on some other projects and wait for night-runners to be released.
