Lady Claudia Nessalith

This week I have not only been working overtime, but also painting overtime and only sleeping 5-6 hours a day. Reason being I need to finish up my commissioned & my Iron Painter models as well as eager to paint up my Cadwallon army.

This model is painted from the neck downwards to look like sheer black clothing. Could have improved on a few areas here and there but there's simply too many waiting to be painted up for me to wanna spend more time on it.

Orphan of Avagddu

Another of my new Cadwallon army I'm painting up at the moment. This is a rather small sculpt but full of character. I went for a red/copper hair to give her the rebellious look. Don't be fooled by her size, for she can morph into a totally crazy Fury, which I'll be painting up next. Hope you like her. Critics welcomed.

Multiple views of this and the previous weapon bearer are now up in the gallery.

Vladar's Weapon Bearer

Following the completion of Vladar, I followed up with his weapon bearer. He was a joy to paint, not too many parts to take care of. I matched the colour scheme of his master on his stockings.

Vladar The Arrogant

Only 2 sessions of confrontation games after a long break, I'm once again inspired to collect another new army which is the Cadwallons. I loved the models ever since they were launched, and with each additions, my desire to own the whole range got stronger.

In order to start a new army, I have to 1st pick a leader to lead them. My choice was Vladar the arrogant, a not too costly leader with pretty good stats. Together with the ogres, I'm sure they'll make a formidable force.

With this plan in mind, I'm all set to paint up my new model. The colour scheme was inspired by Rusto's puzzle knight on CMON. As the sculpt itself is 90% cover in cloak, I felt it was the perfect way to add some variety to the otherwise plain looking sculpt.

Hydra Warrior 1

This week I finished painting one of the three hydra warriors for my Mid Nor army. It was a test piece to do freehand chipping and weathering on armors. It appears easy but to randomly paint in the chippings and making it look convincing wasn't as easy as I expected it to be.

I tried the sponge method, which is simply nibbing off a small piece of sponge, dipping it into black paint, removing excess by dabbing on paper before dabbing onto the model. I find it hard to control so I paint in the chippings instead.

Kain, the Scourge

My entry is done. Had some troubles with the tall grass during cropping of the background to add the gradient. The grass is more wide spread and had more variant in length than what you see in the photos. For more views please look it up in my gallery.

Kain in Mono

It's been another busy week with work and finally got to work on my round 2 entry for the Iron Painter 3. The theme is "Paint it Black". I had a model of Kain the scourge which was half painted and has been neglected for a few months now. I decided to strip the paint and use it for this round.

My original plan was to use only 2 colours, black & white and named it Kain in Mono. Halfway through painting it, decided that he needed more colours. Anyway, he turned out pretty good, at least to me and I managed to keep it looking dark/black. What's left now to work on is the base and l should be able to submit it in time.
