Blood
Rage is the next game I will paint figures for, and it’s really fun as the
minis are just fantastic, the game’s got a great theme (who doesn’t like
Ragnarök?) and it is without a doubt one of the best board-games I got.
First
of the new batch is Fenrir, one
of the mythological monsters that you can recruit to your clan.
A
huge miniature that turned out real well.
I painted two other wolves, both from the Reaper Bones range, while I was in wolf-mode. One is large, a worg or dire-wolf, while
the other is two-headed.
The
sculpts are okay, but really nothing more, and the two-headed one needed
green-stuffing as there was a rather prominent gap where one of the heads were
pre-glued to the rest of the body.
These two will join my expanding pack of wolf-kin.
They look good though. Were they quick to paint?
ReplyDeleteYes, very. I start with a white undercoat and then put on several black and brown washes and end with white drybrushing.
DeleteHi Joakim the Fenrir figure is very nice and you've done an excellent paint job on him. The transition from the lighter coloured legs and lower body to the darker upper body and back had worked very well.
ReplyDeleteI wish you had done this a couple of weeks ago as I painted a wolf pack recently and made a right mess of them, I would have been much happier with your outcome.
Cheers
Thank you, John!
DeleteI painted my first wolves a year ago http://miniatyrmannen.blogspot.se/2016/01/wolfs-dire-wolves-and-werewolf.html
and after some not to brilliant first tries I went for winter-pelts. I turned out that white + washes worked really well. I used a uniform wash of Army Painter Dark Tone and then several washes here and there with Strong and Dark tones. Made it possible to get that transition.
Give it a try if you happen to find a cheap wolf-mini
Cheers!
Cheers Joakim, the wolf figures I have don't have the same level on detail in the casting as yours. I dryish brushed layers on and then did a wash to try and blend it but it's pretty crap to be honest. I also looked at lots of photos and went for a sort of 3 and 4 colour coat but the simpler winter coat you've done works much better.
DeleteHi John!
DeleteI've also tried the ordinary grey-brown coats and they are really difficult to get rigth. I haven't. These winter-coats are much easier, but they do need a distinct coat to work really well
Smashing work Joakim, they look great :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Darryl!
DeleteLike the Fenrir, the other two will do :-)
