Steve Troughton-SmithOne of three!
As a bonus, tonight I painted up a Stormcast Eternal (using the TableTopReady tutorial)!
I can see why these are the face of Age of Sigmar. That was fun to paint, and it looks amazing 😄
Some of these highlights nearly broke me. Too many of the paints are shiny and the angles are awful which made it impossible to see what I was looking at under my lights 😅 I’m not gonna let this mini defeat me, but boy is it a struggle!
It’s all coming together. Honestly this paint job has been kinda fun, despite the complexity
This one deserves a full spin 👌
I said 2025 would be the year to progress my painting skills, and I meant it 😎
Honestly a pretty easy one to paint, all things considered
I have painting failures too; this guy (3D printed from Artisan Guild) wasn’t turning out how I wanted so I stopped half way.
I’ll see if I can rescue it when I’m in the mood
Finally started painting the display board that’s been hanging on my wall for a few years. Terrain is hard!
Looking better already! Still have the raised area to do, but I’ll get there
Not too bad, for a test model. It’s a lot smaller than it looks, but I’ll have an easier time with it when my new brushes get here. Not a particularly difficult scheme, thankfully!
It’s new brush day! Trying out Artis Opus this time. €100 doesn’t get you an awful lot of sable these days… 😅
Finally pushed through to the finish on these two. My new Artis Opus brushes are fantastic, now I just need to get better at using them 👌
At least basing is the fun part
Basing begins.
One thing new I’m doing on this batch is going back in and manually adding shading and black lining after the fact, which makes all the difference
Current status: very carefully trying to paint a model past me glued together and didn’t have the foresight to make in subassemblies…
When I’m just doing one, I’m much faster! Maybe batch painting is what’s been killing me
Particularly love how this cloak turned out. I still need a lot of practice
Honestly not a very complicated model or paint job. Another couple of sessions should be all I need
On the turntable, since this model arguably looks better from the back than from the front 😂
