[WM] Stormwind Rails Against the Lead Mountain

[Rowlybot]

Bravo. They look great.

Liking the continued blue/red & oxidised metal look.

[Stormwind]

Thanks for your kind words, guys.

I use Dwarf Bronze (old GW range) for the coppery armour, but it's not going to last forever.  I have to decide whether to try the new high pigment GW copper / bronze, Hashut Copper, or try the Game Colour Vallejo option eventually.

I used to use a diluted Hawk Turquoise as a "verdigris" wash, but I got lazy and have the new GW "Nihilakh Oxide" which is probably a bit too bright but not bad.

After finishing the horsemen I completely collapsed and felt swamped with other stuff, uninspired.  I cleared my desk and told myself to do a single test strip as a template, same as I did with the horsemen.

This is the result.

Looking really good. I have more or less a rule: to not paint the same unit (figures) one after the other... I remember I paint mostley the goblins of Bofa at once... and I got crazy... I take ages until I took the brushes again, so I decide to paint several armies at once and jump form unit to unit. It works for me...

Relax, if necessary paint a little bit other scale or period.

Anyway... The test strip of marauders in blue look awesom

[marell le fou]

Yep, very nice as always. The global army will look very nicely.

[Grumbledook]

Very nice looking marauders! I don't think the verdigris looks bad at all, anything too dark would make it a bit hard to notice on the table. At this scale figures need a bit of help to stand out.

I totally understand the uniform fatigue syndrome, occasionally I paint 6mm Napoleonics for pocket money and the novelty wears pretty thin pretty quick!

[Aquahog]

Tell me about it. I tried my hand at a thousand 6mm Great Northern Wars Swedes. Their uniforms are even more boring than Naps after a few units.

[Gorrin]

Stormwind...the Tamiya metallics are good also. I always have a few knocking about.

[Stormwind]

Finally!

First Marauder infantry unit done.  They are very fiddly with lots of little details.

[jchaos79]

Well done! only two more left to go!

[marell le fou]

Really nice. Go on ! And send us a global picture of the army

[mlkr]

They are very nice
I especially like the rusted effect. Very effective at this scale!

[Stormwind]

I tried taking a full picture of the armies.  Not easy without a white cloth or a proper camera but I think me, some printer paper and Photoshop did the best we could!

[Aquahog]

Looking good. I always find taking army shots of Warmaster to be tricky but I think you nailed it, simple means or not.

[jchaos79]

Your both armies looks gorgeous!
