Mr Owlman turned out to be a real challenge. The details on the back of the cloak are very fine and don't really "line up". I was close to giving up a few times but stuck in there and happy I did.
Looking at the C38 Beastmen, this sculpt I think stands out. Most of them are warriors but this has a more shamanistic look. It's also one of the few where the "basic sculpt" isn't reused.
Enough talking - here it is:
Citadel C38 Beastman: Owlman |
Also painted one of the Chaos scenery things from last post:
Realm of Chaos Scenery: Chaos Shrine |
The inspiration for the Chaos shrines/altars I'm working on came from reading about Minotaur and Beastmen in White Dwarf 124 and 125. Didn't found them but here is a screen shot from RoC Lost and the Damned about Chaos Monolith - good reading:

The colours on the Owlman's cloak are wonderful and the shrine is fantastically macabre.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gareth! /Hans
DeleteWhat he said, the complementary colours work realy well with the contrast of the bright red and cold green, colour theory at its best !
DeleteThe monolith os also really nice and I can't wait to see your tabletop with it and your models.
Thanks Asslessman! Didn't write a post about color theory some time ago? I see you have studied hard ;)
DeleteI just bought a single piece of the "Citadel Realm of Battle Gameboard" at my local GW. Perfect size for some 1-on-1 Warband gaming. Just has to figure out how to paint it in a similar style as the bases.

It's the face and eyes I really like - cracking work as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks Thantsants! /Hans
DeleteBeautiful. You make these old sculpts sing. Inspiring stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob! /Hans
DeleteI'm glad you stuck with it, it turned out excellently. The shrine is wondrous too, your colour schemes are just sumptuous.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr Saturday!
DeleteWorking on the C38 Fly Man with all the details worn off - trying to paint them in instead ... even more of a challenge
