Who would have thought that a return to full time work would have distracted me from updating this blog as I finished painting miniatures? I blame Twitter. Anyway, below are images of the miniatures I have finished before the end of the year:
First up is Ardus Ix'Erebus a lieutenant from Mists of bile hall, experimented with textures on the sword sheathes which was fun.
Then we have the reanimates from the same expansion to finish off the monster grips for that. I found painting 6 in one go a bit challenging given I was trying to fit in 1 hour painting sessions, but happy with how it all turned out as they definitely don't feel like fish troops to the battle and their forehead runes sort of glow.
Then a model I really struggled to enjoy painting at the sorta but loved by the end, the Zarihell lieutenant model. The green skin was a challenge as the reference images were all green but I needed to add in the pinker skin tones to make it pop/break it up. You can't see it but the soles of the feet are also pink-ish
Last model of the year is Kindrithul, went for a non metallic take to experiment with the use of contrast instead of just grabbing the gold/silver paint. Wouldn't go so far as to call it non-metallic metal but did make painting pretty quick with a wet palette so worth the experiment.
Currently working on the next expansion, the chanson that rust, this is as far as I have got:
