Posted on by Mark Myers Leave a comment

Painter: Stickfight

Model(s): The great Pumpkin and Halloween Base, Round 80mm

Method(s):

Undercoat Both models: Chaos Black

Mud:

Pumpkins:

Stones:

Leaves:

Vines:

Cobwebs:

Crows:

Snail:

Candles:

Paint Time: about 20 hours all told (only because I’m a slow painter)

Notes: To get a decent orange coverage, its much easier to airbrush it, Jokaero Orange followed by Trollslayer Orange highlighted on the top, gave a really good consistency. I have to say on a complex model like this that is done with 3d printing, It’s an absolute son of a devil to paint because of all the little nooks and crannies you can’t take apart to paint. As the base was uneven I had to pad the ground to fit the model evenly and used black Milliput squished in place and then peeled off before it dried, flattened out and then given some grooves to give a muddy earth effect, on the wash over the orange REALLY make sure you water down the agrax, else you end up with hard lines on your orange.

Painting Guide – Greater Possessed

Painter: Dultoriminis

Model(s): Space Marine “Start Collecting” Box (out of print)

Paint(s): Chaos Black Spray, Bugmans Glow, Cadian Fleshtone, Druchi Violet shade, Zandri Dust, Agrax Earthshade, Ushabti Bone, Screaming Skull, Abaddon Black, Dark Reaper, Fenrisian Grey, Leadbelcher, Retributor Armour

Method(s): Spray model Chaos Black for base coat

Armour: Start with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and water, then cover the whole model, as mentioned in other posts this is so if we need to do any corrections we have the right black as the finish, as Abaddon Black and Chaos Black are slightly different. next highlight all the black armour with Dark Reaper, I would also recommend leaving a small gap between the gold tip and highlighting along these parts to add more contrast to the black. Lastly a fine highlight over the Dark Reaper of Fenrisian Grey.

Skin: Base Bugmans Glow, next mix Bugmans Glow and Cadian Fleshtone 1:1 and layer leaving all but the darkest recesses, highlight Cadian Fleshtone, wash with Druchi Violet, once dry, do a second wash in the recesses, this will give the grim bruised and sore looking skin, finally highlight once again with Cadian Fleshtone.

Bone: Base Zandri Dust, wash Agrax Earthshade, layer leaving darkest recesses with Ushabti Bone, wash with Agrax Earthshade, highlight with Screaming Skull.

Trim: Base gold trim with Retributor Armour, wash Agrax Earthshade.

Steel/metal bits: Base Leadbelcher and wash with Agrax Earthshade.

Paint Time: 4-6 hours

Notes: Take your time with the skin, this is what draws the eyes attention. as long as you get that right the model will look great.

Painter: Dultoriminis

Model(s): Blackstone Fortress Main Box

Paint(s): Grey Seers spray, Aethermatic Blue, Magos Purple, Grey Seers base paint.

Method(s): This is a nice easy one. First Grey Seers spray base coat, once dry cover the whole model in Aethermatic Blue in the usual contrast way, when this is still wet apply Magos Purple to the hands, now with a clean damp brush blend the purple and blue on the wrist. Once fully dry do a light dry brush over the whole model with Grey Seers. Easy!

Paint Time: 30mins including drying time.
