Next addition to my warband are two marauders and a chaos dwarf bazooka.
I tried a new approach to the armor of the marauders and going gold-green. Think it looks good on the marauder in full armor (Kraan Headcleaver). Not sure about the color combination on the one with bare legs though (Lunkop Banesmite). But hey - it's chaos and anything goes.
Kraan Headcleaver is the metal-man from the
previous post/tutorial - now with a few tufts and a shield as well. A funny thing painting him was that the first color out after base coat was painting it all gold. He very much looked like a fantasy C3PO. I almost kept it like that.

The warband is getting quite big now and as
Gaj suggested in a previous post I might be working my way toward an army (even if I don't know it - LOL). I think he on to something and I am considering going army style. I am thinking though to paint a unit of Oriental heros / Samurais / Ninjas as well.....we'll see.
Thanks for watching! /Hans
On the first post about them I was about to ask if you used this old unpaintable mettalic green from the second paint series, but you've just given the answer.
ReplyDeleteI do have Lunkop Banesmite and do intend to paint him in a tzeentch outfit (still don't know how though) but I think the purple/green contrats works well and makes the mini easy to read. This worn out mettalic green works realy well to give a fantsy feeling. I'm just looking at a John Blanche Drawing reading your post.
I do have the old metallic paint set but haven't used it in a long time. I bought them when they were released and pained a few minis using all the different metallic paints. They look quite amusing...
ReplyDeleteThe colors I used was Auric Armor Gold, Kabalite green (from the new Citadel range) and a bit of black. I used pure orange as edge highlight to take away a bit of the shine from the gold.
Thx/Hans
Hence the worn-out look of your gold... very clever
DeleteLooks good, like an oxidized copper. Nice effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks! /Hans

Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI think your Chaos army will be very nice to see on the gaming table.
The green looks great on armor and feels very "nurglish" :)
Keep up the good work!
Thanks! And I hope it will make it to the gaming table. I don't really have the habit of painting armies but I think this one will make it. /Hans
DeleteI love the shield designs! Thank you for taking the time to share your processes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon! Happy you like 'em / Hans
