This is the first of two Carstein vampires I just finished as a commission. The color scheme is very close to the original one, in combination with some colors I used on a previous project for that same customer (like the skintone for example). The figure is mounted on its original gaming base which can be removed from the larger display plinth (in progress picture here).
The project I kicked off during the summer months is still in its first phases: the Age of Sigmar starter set. In short assembly is mostly done, but painting-wise my progress can be summarized be the picture below. The entire set contains 47 figures, and I’m still working on the first eight of them 🙂 But that’s ok, for me it’s a break from higher quality work. On the other hand higher quality work will be a break from this very basic painting.
Grand Master Belial of the Deathwing, a commission I recently finished. Painted very close to the official color scheme, but there was one thing I had to change: the sword. Being Finecast, the sword was very warped and didn’t look very smooth, so I replaced it with a regular terminator sword. Base is left unfinished because the customer will paint and flock it himself, to be in line with the rest of his army.
I’ve been working on a Vampire Counts commission for the past few weeks. The customer requested the figures to be mounted on display plinths, but with removable bases, something which is always fun to do 🙂
With square bases this is also quite an easy process by cutting several layers of cork plate to match the outline of the base.
The finishing was done using some flock, static grass and pigment powders. I also painted the wooden display plinths with regular Vallejo Inks. A final layer of gloss varnish still has to be applied, but it’s looking quite good already.
