Nurgle Champion Ozpainters painting workshop

Had a busy day today painting up the current Nurgle champion in the Sydney Ozpainters get together and painting workshop. Along with a nice BBQ lunch and going out for Japanese for dinner was a pretty good day.

He's an ugly brute of a figure so I had to think a bit how to paint him after quickly assembling him and giving him a white prime with an airbrush. For my version I started with a pale rotting green basecoat for the skin then shaded with more normal flesh tones and highlighted up to menoth white.

and some of the very nice minis that people had brought in to show off



some of the other painters versions in progress







back to my one, I started doing deep shading first with brown then with scab red





then after all the skin was pretty done I painted the metal areas and underneath black then painted the armour folk art gunmetal then drybrushed chainmail





then rust, rust and more rust





I got the idea to use Tamiya clear red on his open wounds and to bloody up the axe, it really brightened up the figure a lot and shifted the tones into the reds quite a bit.





After dinner I drybrushed the base and called him done, just needed some Silfas grass on his base when I got home.

Guild Austringer WIP

Did a bit of work on my remaining Guild ally the Austringer and did a bit of work on some Ronin for my eternally unfinished Twins gang.





Unlike the official yellowish brown paint scheme for the bird I tried to make mine look like an American Bald Eagle, I may have gotten carried away with the wing tips but I'm very happy with the look of him.



So much blue jeans.

Death Marshals and their new office.

Had a bit of painting weekend with fellow Ozpainters Andrew and Nick. We wanted to make a good dent in the town worth of Aetherworks Wild West builings they churned through a couple play quality buildings and I got through all the panel lining on my whitewashed buildings and finished the Marshal's office.







so many buildings to finish







then I pulled out the board to put them on

More Terrain

I finally got the big ruined tower and warhammer fences done.



I spent way too much time on these fences but I'm happy with how they turned out so guess it was worth it.









The tower went from generic grey to funky browns and rust and green weathering all over the place, then I went nuts with grass growing out of all the nooks and crannies around the base of it, I think it's turned out as a really interesting piece despite all the stupid skulls everywhere.

And now more WIP shots



I kinda wonder if I should have left them like this and not added flock to the bases, oh well too late now.
