I may have picked up the wrong bottle there. Easily fixed though ;-)

AndyP

Update on progress. Not much left to do now. Skin, metalwork and axe mainly. http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/AndyP1102/20130908_002632_zps6d3c241d.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/AndyP1102/20130908_002506_zps857ad3a6.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/AndyP1102/201309...

AndyP

Yeah I am Daabu on wamp. Its an name I used to use for World of Warcraft :-)

AndyP

Have asked this on wamp forum too but thought I would try here as well. If I enter Beowa in human and bear form, what category do they go under? Seperately as singles or together as unit?

AndyP

The P3 inks are decent enough. Strong pigment but the dropper is just a pinprick and they clog easily which inevitably leads to explosions. Brushes are still the trusty series 7's. G&G ones are nowhere near good enough, not even up to GW standards. I'm only using them to mix paints and paint tex...

AndyP

Nail varnish racks off eBay.

Screwed mine to the wall but you can have them free standing if you prefer.

AndyP

Quick update. Improved my area somewhat. http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/AndyP1102/20130905_103248_zps761e064e.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/AndyP1102/20130905_103326_zpsc55aaffa.jpg Still have to keep the GW paints in a case but I don't use them much. Only the washes and gla...

AndyP

Looking at it now you are right. That should be leather. That's what happens when you rush to get some colour on at 00.30 at night :-)

AndyP

Finally been able to make a start on Beowa. These are the basecoat colours, no shading or highlighting yet, and some bits are still just black primer. Let me know what you think of the colour scheme as I am really struggling to find a look I am completely happy with. I think this will be good once i...

AndyP

I'll go for £28,500

AndyP

My vote goes for battlefoam as I have 2 already, 1 for Malifaux and 1 for P3 paints, and they are a brilliant system. KR look good for the price I just prefer the look and overall quality and protection of battlefoam. And their promotional videos are hilarious :-)

AndyP

Is that really a first attempt at OSL? Good work that man ;-)

AndyP

I wish I could say it was going well, or even going at all. I've had a major drain on my spare time all through July and August and finished it off last weekend with going to Reading Festival. I am now clear of it all though so I shall continue with Beowa this week. Got the fur done on bear form but...

AndyP

They look awesome. Can't wait to see more of your Mjagnir too. Very nice work.

AndyP

I did the same with the hair but I keep looking at it and thinking I may regret it.

AndyP

How are you finding getting in under his hair? I was of 2 minds to leave it off until after I paint him.

AndyP

I'm liking the skin tone too. Also you asked previously to let you know how I get on with the iwata eclipse hp-cs airbrush I bought and can say it makes thing a lot easier. Not gone into highlighting with it yet but much easier to position the paint where I want it and alter the amount being deliver...

AndyP

Yeah, been reading the Wiki history this morning. Interesting stuff. Since I live 3 miles from Stone I'm going to stand in support of their claim to being the capital. Regardless of any other well reasoned arguments or supportive evidence

AndyP

Crikey. Very cool! Presumably they mean Wulfhere, Penda's son? Cheers That's what I figure :-) Done a quick search on the town and wikipedia threw up this info which I think is pretty cool. Stone was the capital of Mercia in King Penda's day. Here is a link: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone,_St...

AndyP

Looking good. I love the Aradae Mawr model but I'm not that keen on his head. Don't think it lives up to the rest of him. Don't think I'd have the nerve to mutilate my dyndraig though. :-)

AndyP

That is roughly the colour I had in mind. Is it P3 Bloodstone by any chance? Look forward to seeing what the next WIP produces :-)

AndyP

You should be OK. Can't see that counting as being "displayed".

AndyP

As always, very nice. 2 questions. 1, is that just regular double sided tape you have stuck him down with and does he stay on OK while painting? 2, is that a completed Gjoll in the background? :-)

AndyP

That does look pretty cool. Do they have a kickstarter or just on Facebook?

AndyP

Paint Beowa, as I don't have time and I want to see one!

Your Trolls are now the template for all that follow. You are the leader of the pack. ;-)

Remember though, "With great power comes great responsibility"

AndyP

Looks good. Think I prefer the red though. What inks do you use? :-)

AndyP

So I've finally managed to make a start on some pieces. Mainly my trolls. Not much done, just a base coat of VMA Cam. Green with a VMA Light Grey belly, under arm and back of the legs. One of them I used a mix of VMA Cam. Green and VMA Dark Earth for the body and added more dark earth for the belly ...

AndyP

I am tempted by the Kthones. They look awesome. The problem is I wouldn't be able to order just the starter, I would have to get extra beasties to go with them because they have some sweet extras like ssibyros and ygandr. Need to save money now for next KS.

AndyP

Not really. Just want to make a bit more progress first. Not getting anywhere near my painting desk right now. Life keeps getting in the way. Makes me wish for a zombie apocalypse so I can get some quiet time

AndyP

Looking good. Mine are all at this point now.

AndyP

Darklands all stars :-)

Just Glaun left for greenstuff.

AndyP

Don't get me wrong. I fully appreciate and respect the level of skill he possesses and can only dream of recreating the same level of artistry. I can't wait, though, to see Seb's work on Trolls and Brythoniad. They are going to make me drool, I have no doubt :-)

AndyP

Impressive skills as usual. Have to admit however that I'm not a fan of Bohun's style. With the exception of Mjagnir I have preferred Seb's work from all you have posted. I found some of the Tarvax especially to be a bit too glaring, if that makes sense. Top notch workmanship regardless. :-)

AndyP

I've contacted Mierce directly and brought your plight to there attention. They have said they will sort it.

AndyP

Very nice. Look forward to seeing the rest of the unit.

AndyP

Yeah. Very dark and brooding. I like.

AndyP

I think its a palette that works for GW or Malifaux. I just see Darklands as murkier and more realistic in its theme. I know its still fantasy but its grounded in a real period of history. Just my take on it. Live and let live and all that :-)

AndyP

Looking good. Definitely agree that the red needs toning down a bit though. Where's my sunglasses gone? ;-)

AndyP

Looking good. Those bases are really nice. Loving the broken gravestones, the moss and algae on them look great.

AndyP

I'm no expert but I've generally dry brushed fur. It used to look very muddy but I think it was because I had too much paint on the brush and I was going too bright too quickly. Now I find that if I approach dry brushing with the same mind set as layering the effect is so much better. Slowly build p...

AndyP

I'm sure if you email mierce directly on contact@mierce-miniatures.com they will help you out. You may need your friend to email them a link to your email address so they can verify he was a backer.

AndyP

I have to go to the town of Stone in Staffordshire every week on a Wednesday for work. Today is the first time I've noticed what is on the railings at the top of the high street http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/AndyP1102/20130724_092326_zpsde9290ab.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a53...

AndyP

You will get 9 white and 1 black D10 with each starter set. The black one will be used as the tens when rolling a D100 check while a white will be used for the units. A roll of 3 on black and 7 on white would be a score of 37.

AndyP

Nice to see a full unit completed, mine are still black at present, well done. Bases look very meadowy. If that's actually a word :-)

AndyP

Since it was mentioned on KS comments I have started this thread for people to show what their painting areas look like. Here are a couple of shots of mine. I want to get or build a rack/shelving system to hold my paints on the back wall as they are all currently stored in the GW, Vallejo and Battle...

AndyP

Think I'm going to take a stab at Typhaghaw. Maybe a single warlord as well. Don't think I'll have time to get much more than that done to a reasonable standard.

AndyP

Looking good. What have you made them out of?

AndyP

I would go for the Norse starter plus blood maw option for 2 reasons. The starter rules should be available this month and until August the only forces you will have currently to face each other is ysian and sronax. If these are ysian drunes then I think the basic starter set will be underpowered co...

AndyP

Really like how he has turned out. Top job all round. I'll go on record as saying that I may steal your colour scheme for my own uuthul. Unless I feel adventurous when the time comes and then I'll steal Gefven's idea of using reds :-)
