The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Berserk? Don’t mind if I do!

So for the past few days I've been tinkering with the Berserker a bit more, and I think I've reached the point where I'm happy introducing the model to The Warp (also known as a jar of stripping solvents). I learned a lot from experimenting with it, though!

 

It's currently a bit glossy because I was working on getting it prepped for some oil paints. I did try and give it a splash of color for comparison's sake, but I don't think it did a lot. I'm not entirely unhappy with the look, but I have come to realize that what I'm doing to this model is just a little too weird. At the outset, I wanted a white, ceramic looking armor, but I also wanted some rusty weathering. While the two can coexist on the same model, I think it's only possible if the weathering's done to a much lesser degree. As-is it's sitting in a weird niche between clean and weathered, and I think that's the problem with why I'm not too enthusiastic about it. I could certainly drive the white down by weathering the hell out of it, but then I'll have one warjack that looks like absolute hell, and I don't plan on doing all my warjacks up similarly since I like to think Khador has at least a bit more pride in their warmachines than an ork might.

So, with that said, off to the stripper it goes. I will give it another go once I get it cleaned up - I'm told that sponge-weathering is much more effective for limited amounts of chipped paint and the likes, so I'll experiment a bit with that method in the mean time!
