Miranda is out of town this week, so instead of having a nice breakfast with her in the morning, I’ve been painting.
After I finished building him, this guy looked a little silly. I mean, he’s meant to look like a decent size on top of the new carnosaur. But whatever, just because his tail is the same size as his mounts doesn’t mean anything…I built him as Kroq-gar, because if you can put a giant halberd and alien robotic arm on your dinosaur, you should do so.
It turns out that my last cold one hero, I failed at documenting so I had to figure this paint scheme out from the model. Then it turned out that my case was locked and that the keys were over there. So I grabbed another cav from a nearby case and went to town.
I’m using the same base painting technique as the Horror units, because I believe that when I do it right, it will look black, without actually being black. I’m still going to fill the crevasses with orange and yellow, but the rock starts with Sotek Green.
I bought a bunch of new paints to replace drying ones last week, and picked up Steel Legion Drab, which I used on the plants. They look good and dying already!
The cold one has Shadow Grey skin, Ushapti Bone chest, scales and claws. All of the gold is Dwarf Bronze. The chest on my test model goes to something like Fiery Orange and then back to the Bone, but I think I should pull out my BSB to see what I did there – probably not stark orange and bone. 🙂
The dude on top is Mephiston Red scales (I love that colour), Codex Grey skin, Ushapti Bone spikes and claws and helmet, and Dwarf Bronze doodads.
I painted the tip of the halberd in Ice Blue, and I’m hoping to have some sort of OSL crackling energy thing going on there. The Hand is Codex Grey. I was thinking of trying a NMM, but we’ll see if I have the patience to figure that out this weekend.
Later!
