ACE01's End Times begin! A plog to keep me motivated...

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I'm impressed by how little physical conversion there is, pulling off so much with just paint. Did you drill the eyes out?

Gombies!

Saw this in the sidebar; "Why are people discussing Bermudian traditional dance in the modeling forum? Has someone beat me too that Harlequin conversion?"

Cheers!

The only modelling work of any kind was to cut the noses off for the skeletal ones. The rest is just pure paint, as with 50 to paint and a deadline to hit, these have to be done as quickly as possible. Wouldn't be do-able on larger/unrobed models, but I compared them with a TK skeleton to get the bone structure, and all just seemed to fit.

Should be a much better effect once the highlights and blacking is done!

Basic highlight to bone/flesh areas done, and basecoats for spears & shields complete!

[Darren Richardson]

your manky gobbos are really coming along, damn that bone paintjob is amazing....

[Cap'nSmurfs]

What adorably evil little *******s you have there. Nice job!

Cool! Good sculpting's impressive, but I find painting that gives the illusion of sculpting even more impressive!

Some of the hoods have noticeable moldlines, although that might just be a consequence of being WIP.

Where? I can't see any Moulding lines?

[ACE01]

Yeah the hoods do show them up quite badly with the dust effect drybrushing. They're there mainly because I inherited them already undercoated and couldn't be arsed to clean them off of 50 gobbo's and re-spray! Once I've got them to game ready (along with their compatriots, deadline is looming), I'll go back in and fix them when I do the binding washes, teeth, eyes and the remaining details (mushrooms, basing).

Current tabletop ready state:





Next up, undead trolls...

[ACE01]

As promised, WIP on undead trolls (plus spider riders), and my first foray into using an airbrush. Only a Single action with air cans at the moment to see if I can get the feel, will take the plunge if it proves to be a timesaver!






More to come.

[Darren Richardson]

I've just noticed are those the Skull Pass Figures? if so, this army is starting to really impress me, because you have done such a great job on making Static Minis look soooooo good.....
