This is the first model I painted for my Circle army. I followed the wonderful Circle Battlebox in ten days guide the brushthralls had. It can still be found online here. I followed it fairly closely as you can see from the model. Following this guide improved my painting immensely and I figured out a lot of techniques on these models. Looking back now I can see where I could make some improvements but I am still really happy with the Argus. The highlights on the skin for instance turned out a different shade than I thought they might but still they came out fine. Having a reference, step by step, to paint with is excellent as it shows exactly where you need to place the paint. I still think the Brushthrall articles are the only place to go when painting Warmachine or Hordes battleboxes.Sadly a lot of the units I painted at that time consisted of eight models so I need to start ordering the models to bulk them up to ten models. That means I have to figure out a lot of the receipes I used none of which I recorded...
The skin tones on that little puppy are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Sorry to hear about the forgotten recipes, hope you can make them match.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I don't think I will manage to make them match. Looking at the skin on these models I will not only have a problem with the colours but with the techniques. I paint flesh very differently now that I did then. Still lets hope it is fun trying it out...
ReplyDeleteLovely paint job. Thanks for the brushthralls link, very educational. I was amazed (noob alert) to find that you could use green stuff as an adhesive!
ReplyDeleteI have some Orboros to assemble (Wold Warden) and have been having a devil of a time with it - I think I'll have to pin some parts. The torso doesn't fit well together at all, green stuff as an adhesive will help a huge amount with it.
