I am therefore stealing JohnathanO's wonderful idea of painting up some Weeping Angels. Paint up a random Great War figure in B&W, but then I saw a post on +50 points towards the Codpiece & Feathers Side Duelįrom TeemuL: Lovely greenskins and landsknechts! Those old Fantasy Battle Black Orcs keep on giving, I have used them as Fantasy Battle Black Orcs and Blood Bowl Black Orcs, they seem to be an easy job to convert to WH40K setting, too.įor my second entry of the day I am covering off my last two mandatory green pass studio spaces, although I plan to do more.įirst up, I am visiting the Black & White studio where I really had no idea what to do, and was just going to A less watered down version being used on the handguns.īases again finished with fine sand and electrostatic grass.ġ0 x 28mm Landsknecht Handgunners 5 Pts ea 50 Points

Hats and feathers were coloured somewhat at random before sepia wash was used to shade the flesh and brown areas and then a watered down dark tine wash was used to shade all other areas on the figures. Flesh and hair was added to taste, trying to keep a higher than usual proportion of blond hair - well they are meant to be Germans after all. Straps and other leather work was added in a suitable contrasting shade of brown before their guns were painted with a suitable wood colour and good old dependable 'Oily Steel'. Well done and welcome back to the Challenge, Dave! I'm scoring 'Teetoe' as a 40mm figure and 'Boulder' as a 54mm as I know he's a big lad. I also quite like the purple glaze effect on 'Teetoe's' skin - very apropos for a fairy I think. Great work on these two Moonstone characters! ( Our group are big fans of Moonstone as it always seems to give a fun, close-fought and fast game.) 'Boulder' is terrific, especially his paler face in contrast to his darker body (nice horns too!). Hey Dave, I saw your post in the queue and thought I'd pop it up so you wouldn't have to wait until next Wednesday. My my count, this is 5 points for a 28mm fairy, 10 points for a 28mm monster, and then 20 points for the under construction Studio, for a total of 35 points. One of the things that painting her taught me is that the contrast paints are going to be really useful, due to their slight transparency when trying to paint things like tattoos, and patterns on skin where you want a little of the skin tone to show through (this was discovered painting the black veins on the wings.) The wings are modelled (loosely) on real butterlies. Again, she was mostly done with contrast paint over a drybrushed undercoat, although in her case the skin was given a purple glaze and a highlight to change the tone slightly.

Teetoe is the first of the repainted fairys. Therefore, I present you Boulder the Troll A bit of hunting around turned up the models, and I built the troll, and re-undercoated the Fairies. When I looked at the painting challenge this year, and realised that there was an 'Under construction' studio, I realised that I would have to go digging. I was never that excited by the effect, and the models got put on a shelf and forgotten about. The fairies I started experimenting with, trying out using inks over zenithal as a painting effect, applying it using my then new airbrush. This was pre-pandemic, and I bought a couple of packs of Fairies and a Troll for the game. When it was first released, I was introduced to the game 'Moonstone' by Goblin King Games, by a friend who subsequently went on to write a lot of their fiction. Combine the situation in healthcare in the UK at the moment with my having worked basically every day over christmas, and it has been a delayed start to my painting adventures.ĭespite this, and despite me having some very definite plans for my 'big' projects for the year, I have nevertheless decided to start with something from the studio. Back to my fourth (I think) challenge, and my latest start so far.
