Rise of the Minotaurs

[Martok]

There might be a few corpses littering the bases of this army... I am sorry

So these guys have taken some time to finally get paint onto them. I do have some better pictures on my actual camera but for now some sneak peeks. Here is the Squad Sergeant with his Armour finished:



Let me know what you think as I can still adjust the tone at this point.

Looks good. Perhaps I'd add some gentle extra highlights here and there. The overal tone is very good but it is missing just that extra little contrast from some more golden highlights. not much though, I'd just pick out some edges here and there.

Yeah you are right. I was toying with doing some highlights last night but decided to varnish and see how i felt today.. you have helped me to that decision.. now what colour.. when i was airbrushing i went from Bronze -> light bronze -> silver + light bronze and then washed it back down so not sure whether i should highlight with my brightest colour out of that process of just go with the light bronze?

I'd go slightly brighter than your last airbrushed layer.

these would make really nice sm statues... especially using this scheme

Yeah I have some of those and I think I shall be tryind out the same method. If nothing else it will be good practice for whenever these guys get some Contemptors

I'd go slightly brighter than your last airbrushed layer.

Thanks for the advice I shall be experimenting later.

For now though here are the better pics I promised:





Let me know what you think now you can take a closer look

I like! I'd say, paint up all the details and see how it looks then. In case it looks a bit too flat, you can push the edge's highlights a bit more. If it looks god, well, you're done then. ^^

Thanks Meph, As can be seen below I have added some highlights although I think I may go back in with some gold for a final highlight.. what dya think?

Finally I have a guy with air and traditional brush work done for now:

awesome, looks really good. I made a start on mine too, hard to get the brass efforts to show in photos I found, your photos look great.

Very nice, like how you've handled the verdigris.
