Skorne – Immortals, pt 2

Posted on November 12, 2015

After Kelly commented that my Immortals looked ethereal like Return of the King, and some other dude said “they’re coming along!” I decided my Immortals apparently didn’t look finished. >.>

I don’t want to pull out my camera setup without a big pile of models to photograph, so here they are again via phone-camera and desk lamp.

Seething Ginger (who is posting a lot about Zaal 2!) posted this art for Immortals with the UA that I had already half-way copied, so I finished the job. Burnished Gold on the edges, with Nuln Oil to calm the brightness down and to re-shade the recesses. Blood for the Blood God for a quick’n’dirty gem paint job. Much less ethereal, I think! Do you think? 🙂

Hordes – Immortals

Posted on October 27, 2015

These guys were fun to paint and relatively quick, but I feel like they need something more.

I did some image searching to see what other people were doing with these models, and found this guy’s painting log photo of his Immortals. Jade Immortals, I like it.

I started with a base of GW Caliban Green, then shaded down with SW Heavy Body Black mixed with the Caliban, then just the black in spots. Went up again with the Caliban plus some Skull White, then more Skull White in the mix. Then drybrushed with GW Fortress Grey since it was out when I was doing the bases, then another drybrush of just the Skull White in places.

The problem with them is that they’re very bland. There’s just this dull green, with a dull grey base. And sure it’s good looking, but nothing pops out. I feel like I should have painted their armour in the gold+verdgris I’ve been doing on the Titans to give it a little bit of umph.

I also had to re-figure out the bases, since I haven’t written about them at all during this project. Drybrush up with Codex then Fortress Grey. Watered down Abaddon Black all over. Then Guilliman Blue and Waywatcher Green glazes. I did some Nuln Oil in the recesses to deepen them a bit, then drybrushed up with the two greys again.

Then glue some Army Painter Tufts onto them. 🙂
