Yuan-ti (Snake People)

So did some messing around with the oils yesterday... It wasn't terrible. 

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.

On the Workbench

Lots of silly things on the go. I've completed some "Screaming Fungus", the adventurers should have trouble sneaking into the goblins lair...

Screaming Fungus

BONES 4! The Adventure of Mr Bones

The BONES have arrived.  It's an insane amount of stuff. The material has changed from earlier Bones in that it is now visible, and possibly slightly harder.  It seems that there is a lot of variation in the quality of the process, some of the little guys are good, some even great, but some is poo. A lot of the Bones specific stuff seems alright. It does smooth bug well (see pig and cart).

WTF! Bobble heads...

In the beginning.

     Before the beginning, there was a 3 pack of marines... only one was completed to an acceptable level, and it wasn't the blue guy! The blue guy was done with some random paint, that didn't behave at all well. Mr Yellow was much better, but required the procurement of GW paints.

     Then I found the Bones. They're cheap, and, as with most things, you get what you pay for. That's fine. I wanted to get back into painting, so this seemed like a logical place to start. Introduce IMEF troopers. The goal of the squad was to try and learn how to do the visors with the sky reflections. I was happy with the results, and stopped there.
