Better Run

The last thing you never saw coming...

Project Grimdark pt. 2

Based on a single search I've determined that "Grimdark" is the correct nomenclature.

Project Grim Dark, or is it Grimdark?

Here's the plan, I have 2 super cool space marines and 1, not so cool, space marine. My plan is to try some new tricks (new for me) on the cheap one, and possibly apply them to the more "rare" models. 

As many of my long time readers are probably aware, I have a bit to a thing for Blood Angels, and with that in mind I busted out the walnut colored Rust-Oleum and primed some minis. 

Also, we went shopping today in I picked up this...

We'll follow up in due course.

Wyvern from Reaper

I the last post I was having trouble recalling the name, it's a Wyvern.

It was supposed to be a fast paint, and it was. I started by painting it black, because it's really hard to prime Reaper's Bones any other way, you can't see white on them.  Then I did the quick drybrush, and realized that it still had mold lines... No shits were given and after dry brushing with white I decided that this Wyvern would be orange and red.

Doombull brown as a base on the scales with Ushabti Bone for the wings. Then I used a flesh tone to start adding to the wings, and I layered up some oranges, Troll Slayer and Fire Dragon Bright.

To try and draw attention to the head I painted the tongue an opposite color, if the model was better I would have gone crazy on the face, but it's not and the detail is soft.  To finish I used oil washes on the wings and body, then used a Q-tip to remove the excess.

It's definitely ready to kill players in DnD, but the poor sculpt, (there's no good viewing angle), and low detail made me call this job done. I'll add some dirt to the base the next time I'm basing something.

Fin

It's official I'm over it. No I didn't have COVID, I mean I'm over this mini! I called it done yesterday.

In the end I don't even hate it. I think that the arm positions are wrong and it's got some other issues (looking at you pig skin), but whatever.

I've done worse.

Back side.

So yeah, that's a wrap. The next next project is the snake-bird thing, whose fantasy name currently escapes me, but I plan to practice on the smaller bat wing dragon beast, (I'm really botching this).

Cheers,
