[WM] Paboook's Warmaster Projects. Last Update: Hero on griffon & messengers

[Paboook]

First unit of my Middenland host is painted. To my surprise, bases proved to be the most challenging part of the 10mm miniatures

That Reikland guard seems fantastic!

Very well done

[Lex]

Sick painting !

With so many great painters around I feel like I better ditch all my efforts and start selling off.....  there is NO way that I can find time and skills to get to this level...

[Stormwind]

Stunning work!  And yes fiddling with basing has been a big pain for me as well. =-<

[Dave]

Great stuff. Were they dipped or washed? And yes, getting paint on the basing material and NOT the models is a pain. You can try some fluid retarder in there, to keep the paint wet and give you enough time to mop up a mistake after it happens. That assumes you know you did it though...

[David Wasilewski]

Excellent painting. The inking has worked really well!
Basing is a pain - but at this scale it can make the difference between a stand looking just ok and looking good.

I don't worry too much about the odd splash of brown on the feet/lower legs of models. It just looks like mud and no one can see it unless they pick up the models to examine them anyway.

Thanks for comments

First two units of halberiers & hero. I am quite happy with the colour scheme. I wanted to paint Averland army initially, but yellow color was just pain







My whole Middenland force so far:

Hi, the look great!

One question, Brown inking or dipping with army painter? I used ink for my high elves with highlights, but I think for my next army will try army painter dipping

[jchaos79]

Yellow is one of the most difficult colours. I think you make a succeed going for middenland instead averland!

Very nice

[David Wasilewski]

Army dip is great for larger figures but for 10mm I think it makes the figures too dark. I stick with brown ink.

That's just my taste anyway - you may want to do a "test pilot" unit?

I tried Citadel wash at the first time, but the result was not very good. This is Quickshade (strong tone), but applied with a brush, which I believe makes a big difference to dipping.

An update after a long while. Wish I had more time for painting 

Group of Empire heroes. They keep matching with the rest of the army, I've just decided for more distinctive colour scheme for the (fire) wizard.

[Stormwind]

Very nice work!  I love the Empire wizard models!

You are aware that I run a small company taking on commission work right? 

@Paboook, your models looks great, I find that good basing really finishes off the miniatures in WM. Basing and Coherency are the most important aspects of painting WM I think.
