Brutal and cunning

So I spent just a little more time painting this guy up. As-is, I think he's pretty decent tabletop quality, but I've had a lot of trouble giving the model the paint job it actually deserves. I'll get some better pictures once I can matte varnish him - right now, he's a bit too glossy to photograph properly.

When it came time to paint the feet, I found myself at a bit of a loss... I hadn't really looked at them particularly closely up to this point, and when I set about putting some paint on 'em, I found myself feeling that they were a little devoid of detail besides the toe-spikes. After a bit of consideration, I went at the model with a jeweller's saw and gave him a foot transplant with an AoBR nob. I think the new feet look just fine, and they were a fair bit easier to paint because there were more raised details to help guide my work.

I think he's like 95% done. There's a few places that need a little more work, like his belt buckle and maybe some of the backpack. I'm also considering bloodying the blades up a bit, but I'm unsure, since it tends to be distracting. He's all glued together now, though, which makes me feel relieved - I've tried very hard to lose that backpack a bunch of times this past week, and now it's not going anywhere! :)

  1. Looks great! You’ve done that model justice.

  2. The model looks really cool, I wish I could paint half as well as you.

    Oh and I have a random question: Where did you get the Ork Gas Masks? I looked all over the site but it seems you deleted the page it was on.

  3. If I deleted anything, it was purely accidental!

    The gas mask heads come from Micro Art Studio.

  4. Looks awesome, great work :D
