Glazing With Metallic Paint

This sounds scary, but its not, if you have good paint, I'd almost say its easy. It's easier than doing NMM!

I don't have a lot of evidence to support my claim (like years of work, or 100s of examples). What I do have is one figure with a whole lot of attempts, all from a single sitting!

From the first figure above, dark to light silver was easy, especially on the chest with big defined volumes.

On the wing backs I tried doube or even triple blends, dark silver, ligt bronzento silver. Copper to silver, dark bronze to silver, etc.

The photos are a bit crap, but it was super easy compared to normal blending. The wet blending was also attempted, but it was actually harder, which is odd, but not totally unexpected, metallic paints are funny.


Cheers,

The Goblins

The goblins from Greebo Games are awesome. 

I'm having loads of fun with them, but is wreaked havoc on the desk. 

This is what creativity in action looks like.

But seriously, the Goblins.

Just great figures. On deck is the Chaos team, and the Goblin on Squig. I think the oil project is done for now, but im going to let it age just a little longer...

Cheers,

Striped Trousers

Somehiw striped trousers make everything better... Or at least more football.

Even when he's pulling what amounts to a "back double bicep" bodybuilding pose, this figure reads like fun.

But really it's the striped trousers and grass stains that say Blood bowl. He's technically a half troll.

So there's some green in some or all of his skin. 

I dunno what star player he is, but that's the best part of BB, it doesn't really matter.
