Spent some time yesterday working on the bases instead of painting figures. I sculpted on some spackle to give texture and then used a Baal red wash for color and black to paint the edges-- I'm going for a hive ship interior/alien planet feel. It worked out well but I'm running low on the wash and can't pick any up until Friday, so the results are a bit pinker than I wanted but that will be fixed soon enough. (Click to enlarge)
I like the base colors. It makes the figure stand out and more vivid :D
ReplyDeleteVery nice work.
ReplyDeletethis looks so cool
ReplyDeleteHow much did all those cost???
ReplyDeleteA big chunk of them I picked up during a 30% off sale, but retail it would be about $350 + painting supplies. I still have at least another $100 to go to get up to a tournament sized force.
ReplyDeletevery cool. great job!

ReplyDeleteLet's hope the blog pays for some.
