Coloured Dust - BLOG

Post by Arbal »

Hello,
I'm on this forum from several years and for over 17 years of painting minis I still trying to develop. It is time to thank all those who gave me their skills. Many I know personally but most of the online community. Now I want to give inspiration to others and share their knowledge.
Welcome all to my facebook profile and blog.

There are a lot of my Dark Elves

New article on the blog.
This time I write about how I create my gaming table, other than that, you meet every day, a little controversial. I invite you to read.

I do not remember if I showed you some of my Wahammer buildings. Still working on them in the intervals between painting miniatures, but I'm happy with result.

That is an effective way of making desert looking bases. Might steal that idea for the Daemon army I am slowly putting together. Thanks for the idea.

Complete silence seized the battle field. Before our very eyes the enemy troops withdrew leading their way to something even more obscure powerful and terrible.I understood then what the word fear really meant. The huge warrior that rose up from the lines depicted the coldest death a man can imagine.

Scale 75
ABYSSAL WARLORD
83mm
The entire model was painted with acrylic paints only.
This is true metalics technique + AK INTERACTIVE products:
AK046 Light Rust (WASH)
AK013 Rust Streaks
AK711 Chipping Color

...speechless comment.

The model above, young Thulsa Doom who just killed Conan the Barbarian's mother, is great too. However, his skin is too dark. I'm not sure whether his eyes should be blue.
