Grey's "Yet to be named" Clan

original thread ↗

Grey 25 Mar 2013
Hello folks,

I recently traded some Dark elves with a friend of me for some ogres. What I got is:
1x Battalion (making bulls into ironguts)
1x Ironblaster
1x Army Book

For now I don't have any characters, but those will come in the future. I also don't have a clan name (i was going for the redskin clan, but i don't want redskins anymore :P). Maybe it is up you guys to give me a cool name or inspiration.

For now I have some pictures of my unit champion (ironguts) and a WIP model. This is to show off the colot scheme. Hope you like it.


A bit blurry, but you get the picture...


And for the total color scheme (red/green):


With Regards,
Grey

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.

What is your skin recipe it looks amazing! Very realistic aswell - is the metal finished or will you add some highlights? Because as it stands the base coat and wash looks lets down the rest of the very well shaded and highlighted parts

The metal...yesh...lets see, I like it like that, but i can see what you mean. I tried in the past to highlight it and stuff, but I can't get it right. Maybe a tip anyone?

The flesh recipe:
- White undercoat
- Bugmans glow Base
- Wash Reikland Flesh
- Highlight Bugmans Glow
- Highlight Bugmans glow/ Cadian Flesh (2:1)
- Highlight Bugmans Glow/ Cadian Flesh (1:1)
- Highlight Bugmans Glow/ Cadian Flesh (1:2)
- Highlight Cadian Flesh
- Highlight Cadian Flesh/ Kislev Flesh (2:1)
- Highlight Cadian Flesh/ Kislev Flesh (1:1)

Thats about it

With regards,
Grey
