TOMB KINGS SPHINX PROXIE PLUS
It’ll pick out the ribs and facial features a little more, plus give them a little more ‘dry’ and sun bleached feel. This will give that extra dimension to them (whoah! 3-D!). Get your brush that you use for drybrushing, open your Bleached Bone paint and drybrush them. This is where your little creepers will come to (un)life. Some of you out there may choose to stop at this stage, which is fine, but they still need to pop a little bit, IMO. You’ll already start to see things taking shape, thus: The GW washes dry, so by the time I have washed one, moved on to the second, the first is already dry. I have been working on a unit of horse archers, as you can see.
I tend to do a second coat on things like the face and ribs, as they have the most detail. Get a pot of Devlan Mud*, insert your wash brush, or other larger brush, then liberally slap it on all over the mini. You should be looking at a nice, white skellie, yes? Good, then we can move onto… I leave them overnight to dry, although they are dry to the touch in a few minutes, but I’m usually doing something else, yay for multitasking. I’ve used Duplicolor Sandable Primer, matt white, which costs about $6 from any auto store, and is far superior to the expensive shite that Games Workshop tout as spray paint. Once your skellywags have been assembled (arguably the most time consuming part of this) you’re going to want to spray undercoat the little buggers.
TOMB KINGS SPHINX PROXIE FREE
My point being, you don’t have too much free time to paint.
TOMB KINGS SPHINX PROXIE FULL
They look great, but are rather in-depth, probably too much so for those of you, like me, who are not only a full time computer masher during the day, but also a full time dad and part time rock star. In honor of the new, and rather delish Tomb Kings release last weekend, I wanted to post up a ‘how to’ article on painting up your undead forces in double quick time in readiness for battle.Īs you may have seen in the current issue of White Dwarf, they give you some ideas for different techniques for painting your skeleton warriors. While painting Tomb Kings, I find it helps to listen to these chaps: I love the posing, like he’s about to grab some poor bastard before sending their soul to the Usirian depths… I like the contrasts of the darker blue of the scarab carapaces and the light blue of the tilework on his gear. He sort of epitomizes the essence of what got me into fantasy gaming when I was younger.
The fact that this dude is made up of swarming bugs appealed to me. I just realized I need to tidy up the blue wash on that blade a little… I have heard horror stories that this stuff will melt though, so don’t leave it in your car in the middle of summer… The stuff goes together well, and takes paint well. I think that once they work out the kinks in their quality control(?) department, it’ll be awesome. It’s like working with resin in some respects, and not in others. This was my first foray into the world of Games Workshop’s new Finecast material. I painted the pumice sand up onto the bottom of the figure, to give the impression that he’s just burst up from beneath the sand (as he does in the game). I have to say, I’m pleased with the paint job (although not too pleased how the pictures came out).
