Hi!

So, I bought the Age of Sigmar starter set and paint set and have been working quite steadily on them. Unfortunately, I am very busy this time of year, so progress has been quite slow.

I am using the GW Painting Tutorial as my basic guide:

So at this point I'm working only on the 10 Liberators. As a note, while the minis are quite easy to put together there was some problems with flash and join points. This is especially true on the Liberators as the join is right in the middle of the shoulder pad. Take a look:

I just used my scapel to smooth the joins and it did a respectable job.

As you can see, I have added rocks to the bases. I also added my basing material and then base primed all the models with GW Chaos Black.

Once the models were primed, I painted all the armor with Retibutor Armour and then doused them with Reikland Fleshshade. I must admit I haven't used GW paints in a looong time, and was very impressed with both the color of Retributor armor and and effect Reikland fleshshade had on them.

I then repainted the armor with Retributor Armor. In the tutorial Duncan recommends Auric Armour Gold, but I didn't want my Eternals to have a really intense Gold color so I stuck with Retirbutor Armor color. I then cleaned the models up a bit using Abaddon Black and then highlighted the armor with Liberator Gold.

In this photo you can see on the right the result after painting the miniature with Retributor Gold and Reikland Fleshshade. On the left you see the point I'm at now... repainting with Retributor Gold and adding the Liberator Gold highlight.

Not the greatest job, I admit, but I am having great fun painting these miniatures. They are, BTW, the first fantasy miniatures I have every bought and painted.

It will take a while to get all ten miniatures up to snuff and press on so it might be awhile before I have a photo update.

Cheers all!
