Blood Bowl – Ogre

Posted on March 19, 2016

I think he’s done. I’m too tired to pull out the camera and take real photos. Maybe when I have a bigger place…

Lots going on here. I’m pretty happy with it on one hand, but on the other hand I’m less happy about how dirty it all is. The contrast is really nice, and from 2 feet it looks great, but there’s no smoothness to it.

Here’s some colours:

SW Flesh Wash is SO YELLOW. Put that in the crevasses of the skin and went back with a damp brush to spread it out. Took the midtone colour and painted up the highlights again a bit. A bit of the Vallejo Flesh Wash, Seraphim Sepia and SW Amethyst.

Used Vallejo Fluorescent Yellow the broach, with some Sepia. Got to use the Vallejo Goblin Green for the little knoblar!

I think I’ve got some common colours at this point. SW Amethyst, Heavy Body Black, Flesh Wash. Vallejo Skin Wash, Bloodletter glaze, Seraphim, Nuln Oil, Reikland Fleshshade, Mithril Silver. I’m planning less and pulling paint out of the drawer more. Maybe that’s why it’s dirty? Or maybe I’m just impatient?

Blood Bowl – Ogre Basecoat

Posted on March 15, 2016

Since I got back onto this Ork wave, I really needed to finish off my outstanding Blood Bowl stuff first. Thankfully, I’m waiting on one more Supa Zzap Gun before I start painting them, so I’ve got time!

I picked the GW Ogre Paymaster as my Blood Bowl ogre, because it’s an amazing model and I’m stoked to be able to paint it!

His basecoat is super simple — Mephiston Red, Alaitoc Blue, Steel Legion Drab, Dheneb Stone skin and Mithril Silver.

After the last thing I really painted didn’t work out the way I wanted (and apparently I don’t have photos of the rest of the team I finished…) I wanted to go back to the Mr. Wappelly roots I was working on before I got lazy with the Skorne, which means highlighting my basecoat. So I took the Dheneb Stone and mixed it in a few different layers with the other bases to highlight it. The skin I mixed the Dheneb with just Skull White. You usually don’t mix with White since it tends to pastel, but in this case that pastelling is ok since I’ll be adding a bunch of glazes over it to bring the real colour back.
