Chest of Colors forum

Hi there!
a small update of what is on my workbench:
1. Necrach Vampire that`s been only basecoated white and skin painted in grey. I what thim to look dark
2. an ork noob from White Dwarf, a bit converted with Orcs Boss parts. the skin seems to be finished and I`m quit pleased with the effect.
3. Hasslefree mini, here only the skirt is finished, the skin is next
4. Blood Dragon Vampire is my first attempt to paint gold NMM. The picture is blurry, but you can see it doesn`t look like metal

Comments and critics are welcome!

Hard to comment until we see the progress between what you have here and a more up to date pic of each model.

Some of you might have read in latest White Dwarf article from Jerivs Johnson. In most of his series he talks about sh.t, but in latetes WD he mentioned about one mini that inspired him collecting an undead army.

The same has happened to me…

About 12 years ago I have visited my aunt in UK, I saw GW shop and bougt Heinrich Kemmler. It`s painted so terribly I feel really ashemed to post of him ( but not willing to repaint him :p ) . He`s been wating for his time to come, at the back of the box.
The Lichemaster is back!!!
This blood dragon is the first one to come with a new vampire counts army! Many new shiny boxes have been bought (I feel no need to post unpainted minis in boxes)

I am looking for theme and army colours!

Here is a WIP I have been working for quite some time (with looong breaks)
I have to admit that this is my first space marine

I think it is a good start but the highlights look a little rough for some reason, i think a couple glazes of red would help smooth out the colour and bring back the richness of colour to the highlights themselves.

I like the dirty colours of the cloths but I agree with Atctica about the highlights.

I might try to wash the surface with some red. Good tip

don't wash, just glaze keep control over your paints whenever you can

Currently on my workbench is also somethnig from Andrea - Moctezuma II
