barrow rat start

I got the base done on  Anhurian and glosscoted him..after its dried I'll dullcote and then add some flocking to the base.
Moving on to figure 2 the barrow rat heres after doing the basecoat,the wash and then drybrush of the basecoat color to bring up the highlights.

finished up the next stage painting the flesh areas and the warts..tho they kinda look like brutal pimples.
next up the claws and teeth

spend some time working on the next two stages of the kit.. painting the mount claws and eyes..
all thats left now is the base I think.

learn to paint kit #1 continued.

went thru the instructions for the leather and detailing..tho I didn't try to dry brush the the boots. Think all thats left is the base..which I think I need to transfer this to a base so I can glue some sand grit around the grass area before doing it.

I might do some more work on some highlights on the leather etc but I'd say this is pretty much  at the finished stage based on the  instruction booklet.

Besides being sick as a dog with a summer cold this has been agreat deal of fun. After spending so much focus on large figures lately this back to basics is extremely refreshing.

Welp here he is.
 

here he is with a finished base

woldwrath dullcote and complete

I finally finished it up..still torn on wether to add some more ripples to the water but for now its done.
Now to figure out how to transport it so I can bring to LFGS for some games.

learn to paint kit #1 cont

I noticed I missed the bottom of the pants before(I thought they were part of his shoes) so Went back and cleaned that up..as well I tried to thin the liner under the eyes just a smidge..tho when its dry..It might not amount to any difference heh.

So Lucky me I seemd to have found the magic formula of how much black to add to white primer to end up with a real close color match to the metalic true silver.......ya! lucky me! So basecoating the armor was a wee bit of a pain but its done.

I've never used inks before..I assume you mix the same 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of water with it?..I'll get to that after dinner I think
So here he is so far.

ok I got the inking done..started by trying to use a 1:1 ratio and that was a mistake..it make it very grey..so switched to straight black ink for the wash. When that dried I tried very carefully to drybrush the true silver highlights back up.

This is where I struggle I always end up with a fine mist of over spray from the areas I drybrush..even if I dont touch the cloth I can see a fine spackling..I tried my best to clean it up without actually repainting it all.

I think personally for me doing the armor first before anything else makes more sense just cuz the technique of drybrushing the silver does look great but I want to do more..but I don't want to ruin the rest of the paintjob..

In all likelyhood I'm way to agressive with my drybrush swipes in general :)

So here he is so far..I have some Polished silver that I had ordered before..I'm temped to use that for some Lining Highlights after its all done.. Just to make the edges pop abit.

ltpk#1 continued

So i got some more time to spend on this fella.

I got he eyes and mouth lined

 and then did the whites and iris area..which on the first one ended up on the side so I did the other to match and he's simply glancing to the left to look at that fluter he saw out of the corner of his eye. After that I basecoated the shirt and pants.

Then  I did the wash over the cloth which I think I might have done a bit to dark..and drybrushed up the highlights on the legs,arm and shield and back of the head and just used the detail brush to highlight the raised sections of the cloth around his face.

I'm tempted to do some layering to brighten up the legs but I am enjoying just sticking to the plan and following the directions.
I think I'll leave it here for the night and start the metal tomorrow.

woldwrath almost done.

just a quick pic of it finally fully assembled..gonna let the glue/greenstuff cure overnight before dullcoting it ..then all thats left is ripples and splash's

quick pic with other figures for size comparison

woldwrath left arm gloss cote

I finished up the gems and applied a coat of gloss cote to the one side of the arm..in a few hours I'll flip it and apply to the otherside..I should be able to glue it to the main figure tomorrow night.

In the meantime I've primed the two figures for the Ltpk1 with white brush on primer with a small drop of black paint added to make it grey.

applied a couple layers of  tanned flesh for the basecoat

 then the wash of intense brown and just dry brushed the skintone back up.
