blasted wetland 120mm base finished

so I ended up adding a few more leaves to the ground and painted the greenstuff around the feet to look like the ground.
I've applied the first layer of realistic water..It will settle quite abit after 24 hours and clear up..the foliage sucks up alot of the water effects. I'll evaluate it tomorrow and decide weather to add a second layer or maybe use some liquidex gel to add some ripples to the surface.

woldwrath base flocking

decided to do alot of the flocking before attaching the woldwrath but I'm getting close to adding the water effects now so its that time.

I'm debating adding more leaves to the ground before turning everything into a puddle :) But i'm  not sure if its gonna coverup the ground detail abit to much..

here it is so far.

woldwrath base painted

I ended up leaving the base color grey to start and simply painted over the whole thing with the sewer brown wash.
This tinted it a nice earthy brown while retaining the darker tone of dirt.
I used a little creme color for painting the fungus on the trees then used the stone wash on them to tint abit greenish.
Then drybrushed the trees a lighter linen white to get them abit of a weathered look

I then try burshed Waaagh flesh green over the more textured areas of the base then highlight drybrushed with goblin green to give it a dull green overgrowth look.
I then used xv-88 brown to highlight the smooth dirt parts adding in some some of the wood color mix i still had and then used abit  of linen white to do a final drybrush highlight over all the ground.

I indent to add alot of leaves and autumn clumps to this and some dead grass. after thats done I'll be using the realistic water over all the low points to give it all abit of a flooded puddle look.



Heres the woldwrath with the finished 3 torso pieces glued on sitting on the base.

I was thinking it would be easier to glosscote dullcote the torso before attaching to the base but haven't decided yet.


woldwrath base basecoating and torso pieces


I almost forgot about the 3 torso pieces that need to be glued to the worldwrath. just need to do a sewer brown wash over the wood bits and then the coloring of the runes.
at the same time started basecoating the scenic base wood parts.

Found a new recipe for inner wood core I really like I used leather brown for the bark and a blend of leatherbrown, reaper marigold yellow and linen white for the core wood. its around a 1:1:1 ratio which is much easier to reproduce.

woldwrath vine highlighting

finished highlighting the vines and painted the gems on the body.
As well I mixed some mixing medium in with the fallout wash and applied a second coat to the legs and hips and head which seemed to need a bit more.
Overall I think the body is ab out ready to be sealed then move on to the base.
Anything standout that looks off please feel free to point it out. :)

woldwrath rune work continues

so got the rest of the bodies runes lined with the greenish wash and then used one application of the fallout wash in them..it really does dry transparent..might need another..was thinking of adding a dab of mixing medium to it .
As well got the first 6 wood logs glued to the body 2 above the head 2 beside the chest and two o the lower sides.



added a  layer to all the ropes to bring up the highlights. I think its enough..I could add a slight lighter highlight to all the ridges..not sure if its needed tho.

heres pic..not sure if it shows up well enough to tell tho

woldwrath rune work

so started on the second stage of the runes..doing a slight halo along the edge of the runes in fallout wash mixed with some green trying to go for a half in half out effect.that way the falloutwash will seem brighter in the middle and now as much at the edges and give abit of a glow effect...maybe

at this stage..it just well doesn't look great but in for a penny in for a pound :)

as well painted the log ends that are on the sprew and sewer brown washed them..gonna have to brighten up the ends of the logs as well as maybe a slight dry brush over the wood..I think i'm gonna put some brush on sealer on them before trying to glue them on just so handling them so much hopefully won't rub off the paint.



and after second runes layer adding in the fallout wash
