Been working on my first Darklands model for a Norse Host.

Still some work to do and of course, the blood effects, but I thought I'd share the progress.

Wow that is awesome, was it airbrush or paintbrush?
Can't wait to see the rest of your host

Thanks for your interest everyone.

Technique is;

Step 1. Zenithal Undercoat. Black Spray directed from underneath, White Spray directed from top.
Step 2. Paint Brush Basecoat (using a very large brush!) Brown Grey (Scale 75)
Step 3. Airbrush, successively lighter shades Brown Grey/Smoke Grey/Smoke Grey (Scale 75)
Step 4. Airbrush Shadows with Petroleum Grey (Scale 75)
Step 5. Details, Mouth, Teeth etc. done with a brush using Vallejo colours as they have a glossier finish than Scale 75.

Next Step > BLOOD!

Then on to a unit of 5 Trolls.

Blood starting to go on now, looking pretty vicious!

I also had chance to start on my troll unit and hope to put a WIP for the first one up this weekend. Has been a great experience working with glazes to get the desired effect so looking forward to showing you guys.

Looking good Peter. Is that UHU mixed with some Tamiya X27?

Good stuff. I clearly procrastinate way too much when it comes to painting. Had my trolls basecoated for nearly a year :-)

don't worry dude...the Trolls being painted simply means that the Malifaux, the Kingdom Death, The Super dungeon Explore, The Barbarian Dude, the Ax Faction piles are not! Basecoated for a year at least shows good intentions :)

I'm just easily distracted by other projects. Just got my garage sorted out ready to try and finish my terrain board too. Need to finish at least one project this summer :-)

They do look very good in that colour scheme, but I am still deciding on the colours for mine...
