Sanson Farstrider – more blending.

DebbieForsterLeave a comment

This time, I wanted to try a blue steel effect with blending. I enjoyed the green and liked how it looking in my last attempt, so tried it on Sanson Farstrider, who I had just laying about.

I am super pleased with how it has turned out. I think the blending looks smooth and the tones have come out really well. I do think the blue needs more mid-tones, though I am happy with the levels of contrast in the mini. I think the red cloak and plume stands out well against the blue metals. The gold looks alright too.

I hope everyone appreciates Eagley on his wrist too!

Little Stampy: finished!

DebbieForster5 Comments

Something else I promised to myself that I would do this year, was finish off some of the project that got set aside for one reason or another. The first one I have finished is Little Stampy. This diorama was supposed to be a Golden Demon entry, but got set aside when the contest coincided with my 40th birthday.

S, I picked it back up again with the intention of just getting it finished. I had done most of the work, and so finishing off the metallic paint and gluing it together were really the only bits left to do. Here he is:

The hardest part of this mini was the repose. There was a lot of swearing, cursing and some blood that went into getting the leg in the right position and the pipes too. I learned a great deal though, which was point of doing this project.

I also spent a good deal of time looking at water effects on bases. Although I am not convinced this river is the best I will ever do, it was good fun playing around with the different materials.

Most importantly, I learned a lot for the future. I am sure there will be many more dioramas to come.

Leagues of Votann

DebbieForsterLeave a comment

The other prize from Simply Warhammer’s channel was Brôkhyr Iron-master for the Leagues of Votann. This is the first time I have worked on any miniatures from that range, and I found that they were fun. The colour scheme was the winner’s own, and I used that as a starting place to get the miniatures looking great. They used contrast paint, so it was a bit of a challenge transferring that over to the paint I usually use, but who doesn’t like a challenge?

Here they are:

They are interesting miniatures, and I would definitely like to paint some more of them in the future!

Abaddon the Despoiler!

Another one of my favourites! I adore painting this miniature, and have not had the chance to do so since 2019 – when I entered him into Everchosen. It feels like a lifetime ago.

This one was a prize paint for someone on Simply Warhammer’s channel. I was only too happy to discuss the mini with the winner and find out what they wanted. After some thought, they decided they wanted to have a Slaanesh feel to the mini as he would go with the Emperor’s Children Army they have planned.

Here is what I did:

He was painted at T2 level, and I added the bonus freehand to give it that required flavour. I am pleased with how the design on the cloak looked, and I know that the winner is too!

Kroot!

DebbieForsterLeave a comment

I have never actually painted any miniatures from the Tau range, so when I was asked to paint some Kroot I was more than happy to accept, even though they were finecast. It took a bit to get them together, as the warriors are old kits and they took a good deal of cleaning up and messing about with so they looked decent. After that, it was a case of airbrushing the base greens onto them and going from there. They were pretty easy to paint, and I did enjoy them.

Although I am not a huge fan of Tau, I did like these miniatures. It would be amazing if the sculpts/kits were updated though!

Imperial Fists Tank!

DebbieForsterLeave a comment

As most of you know, I love painting tanks. I’ve had this one kicking about for a while, and decided to paint it yellow. Most people do not like painting yellow! I am not too bothered by it now as I have done it a fair few times. I find that if you get the undercoat right, then it is a lot easier to apply. I try and use a red based brown – like Doombull by Games Workshop – and then apply several thin coats of Averland Sunset. You can also use pink to highlight it, which I have done here using P3’s Carnal Pink. Here are the results:

I used the airbrush for the base yellow, and for applying the grime at the bottom of the tank too. The top part with the gun on I have not attached as yet. As I do not intend to keep this one, it will be easier to post this way!

This tank, and some other goodies, are available in the shop! https://hereticdeb.com/shop/

Using the technique I learned the other day, I painted a necron.

I wanted to use the high contrast to play about with some Object Source Lighting and this guy was not doing anything!

I wanted the balls on the mini to glow and so they would become the lightest areas. I dry brushed up through the colours as before just tried to focus on where the light would hit if parts were glowing.

I’m pleased with these results:

Thousand Sons Squad 1

This is the first finished squad for my Horus Heresy army all finished! It’s the first time I have used Tamiya on a squad rather than an individual miniature and I am mostly pleased with how it has turned out. Some of the red could have used another coat in a few places but overall they look alright.

I didn’t go for top quality on these guys as I fully intend to play with them. It felt strange doing so, but they got done far quicker this way.

Here they are:

Raven Guard – Part ?

I confess to losing count as to how many parts I have done the Raven Guard army in, but I have enjoyed every single bit of it.

This section was 20 Tactical marines of the new variety. I am so pleased with how sharp the highlights have turned out and as always, the green to break up the black.

The owner of this army is leaving the UK for the great Canadian outdoors, and as a thank you and good luck, I built a captain with some parts I have kicking about the house. Here are the results:

I’m so pleased with the freehand on the banner and his shoulder pad. He has been named ‘The Blacksmith’ by his new owner, and I hope he brings glory and success to his chapter in the future.
