followed Minus_t's recipe along with a bit of my own addition. The axe head is OK, but the silver is a bit rough for some reason. The runes aren't perfect either, I think grey was too different, or too dark for the job. No worries. I have his base to do tomorrow and sorted.
Very nice! I really like the job you did on the skin tone. Do you mind sharing your recipe for the blond hair?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have always enjoyed painting skin, but not large areas, faces and arms are fun to paint I find.
ReplyDeleteThe blonde was done like so;
The beard was basecoated with calthan brown, then snakebite leather for the first layer. Add some golden yellow to the snakebite, then kommando khaki. Then I added deneb stone and a small amount of skull whire for the final layers. It was then washed with a watered down sepia wash
Oh man Kuf that came up beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the pose of that model and you have really excelled at conveying the Dwarfs true demeanor - glaring out from behind his helm and beard. You can almost imagine him looking out over a field of battle, grumbling about the fall of the Dwarven empire, or bemoaning the lack of challenge offered by a lesser race.
Simply stunning mate, well done.
Rouge - Thanks a lot. I loved painting him, and GW did good with the last batch of dwarf characters I feel. This guy and the one with his helmet under his arm are perhaps my two favourite GW minis ever.
