Minion Casters Done

well Rorsh and Brine are now complete and I'm far happier with the results on this pair than on Dahlia Hallyr and Skarath. It might just be my general perference for darker paint schemes, but either way way the guy who commissioned me for Dahlia and co was happy, so that's what counts. That said I'd like to take a shot at doing them in a custom scheme sometime, darker colors would be interesting to try

Rorsh and Brine on the other hand flowed far more easiy and were fun to do. No desire to take a hammer to them and although Brine presented challenges with the skin tones it worked out well. I also worked on a nice custon base for Brine. I Certainly need to get some pictures of the finished piece.

Now I'm just wrapping up a couple of Strider Deathstalkers (Hordes Legion) models. Getting the black feathers to stand out on the dark purple cloaks took a little more effort than expected and still, in the shade they can appear to be almost totally black from behind.

Minion Casters

Well I've been working on a couple of Hordes Minion War Casters over the past week, and they are challenging. The most challenging by far has been Dahlia Hallyr and Skarath. The light tones used on the models are far different from the average metal, dirt and grime of most models. Getting my head around the shades has driven me up the wall a couple of times and I've had to take large breaks to quell my desire to take a hammer to Skarath. However Dahlia Hallyr and Skarath are now done, I'm okay with the work for Table top, but it's going to need a few more runs to get the quality up for them. Rorsh and Brine present their own challenges but they are easier than the other two and the main challange is Brine's skin and the fact I haven't done this model before, anyway it's going smoother than with Skarath
