SpOOn's Warmaster Journey

[SpOOn]

haha my warmaster collection is the smallest of my painting worries. I have 10 fantasy now kings of war armies to paint as well a few other bits and pieces.

You know the only solution is to keep buying more toys

Reward yourself for every figure you paint you get 10 more.

[SpOOn]

Think I've been using that policy all along...

Meh, I will get there one day!

[SpOOn]

Here's a bit of an update, I finished a couple of units. After painting 28mm for many many years I found it difficult to go down to 10mm scale, I didn't even bother doing the eyes, I'm not that good!

Pretty happy with the progress so far, one of the stands in the archers I'd like to re do as the wash on the armour was a little dark but will worry about that when I have a little more done.

[Stormwind]

Wow they're superb, what washes are you using?

[SpOOn]

TY

I'm using secret weapon washes, blue black for the armour, dark sepia for pretty much everything else.

[Stormwind]

Just to warn you, painting better High Elves than me is not allowed right now because that is what I'm painting. >:-I

[SpOOn]

haha don't think you have anything to worry about, your stuff looks great!

[Stormwind]

Heh, thanks, I appreciate it!

But I am looking at your blues, they are beautiful, are they Vallejo ones?  I've been using GW for:

Kantor Blue > Caledor Sky > Teclis Blue > Hoeth Blue

But I'm not quite getting the results I want.

[SpOOn]

Yeah I don't use citadel paints other than the washes, far too expensive.

I use vallejo, magic blue base, wash with sapphire blue(secret weapon wash), highlight with electric blue(might be lightning blue).
Sometimes depending on what the surface is, magic blue base, wash as above, magic blue and electric blue high lights.

[Stormwind]

I might try those SW washes.

What about the greys / whites? I have a lot of trouble getting smooth ones.

[SpOOn]

I work with a few layers, undercoat, dark brown, bone white, sepia wash, off white, dead white highlights.

Nice.  Very crisp and like the basing too.
