Warcry Furies



(step by step pictures to follow)

I just wanted table top standard with these guys, something that would look better than just plastic! Below is a pretty brief guide of what I did with mine, only thing I found with these guys is that they are a bit fiddly in places and I hadn't done the smoothest of builds with them.

Models were base coated with Wraithbone spray and then the skin was covered with Gryph Charger Grey (c), followed by a wash of Black Templar (c). Highlights were done with Dawnstone watered down and then edge highlight was Dawnstone mixed with Wraithbone, about a 60/40 mix.

Beard and underneath of wings painted in Khorne Red, then in Blood Angels Red (c), highlighted with Evil Sunz Red.

Claws and horns painted with Skeleton Horde (c), shaded with Snakebite Leather (c) and highlighted with Wraitbone.

The dagger was painted in Leadbelcher then painted over with Typhus Corrosion and heavily dry brushed over with Stormhost Silver.

For the base I used Stirland Mud, which once dry I went over with Rhinox Hide to cover and patches then dry brushed with Tyrant Skull. The edge of the base was painted in Steel Legion Drab, with a couple of wasteland patches of grass from Army Painter.

My Journey with Burnout

Having recently suffered major burnout for the 2nd time, following finishing a competition/display project, I got to thinking and tried to understand it better rather than it being this thing I was feeling that I had no context for.   The first time I suffered it was after painting the Mucha: Music piece back in 2022, after which I suffered nearly 3 months of burnout that made me abjectly miserable. I tried and tried to push through it, but just felt like I was hitting a brick wall no matter what I tried to do. It basically felt like I’d forgotten how to paint. I couldn’t blend, mix my colours right, my brush control had vanished and everything was a slog.  Then this time it happened again after finishing my Goblin Airship diorama. I felt strange afterward, like I’d been holding my breath during the whole project and finally let that breath out. I wanted to paint and did paint, but again I started going through the phase of feeling like I couldn’t paint anything. Again, I k...

Let's Talk About Non-Metal-Metal (NMM)

Image
A lot of new painters want to jump straight into this advance technique without realising it is built on the foundation of most of the basics along with a couple of intermediate techniques.   The basics being; blending, glazing, layering, colour mixing, contrast, and edge highlighting. The intermediate techniques that help with the advanced ones are: understanding how base coats interact with the paints you put on top, brush control and having a solid understanding of light sources. I certainly would never discourage anyone from having a go, but if you haven’t quite figured out the above, you are setting yourself up to fail. And then get disheartened and probably get fed up, you know how it goes.  You are after all trying to paint an illusion, a ‘trompe l’oeil’ (deceive the eye). You are trying to make a piece of 3d moulded plastic look like a piece of metal, without using metallic paints (paint which has flecks of actual metal in it).  You also have to remember th...

Recommended Brushes

As miniature painters, we often get asked what are our favourite brushes. The ones I've always used and gone back to time and again are Rosemary & Co. They are a UK based company producing their own brushes, however, there are some countries they do not deliver to, so please check if they deliver to your country first before purchasing.  Below is my recommended brush list, with a mixture of sable and synthetic brushes, depending on your preferences. If you are new to R & Co, I would recommend trying out the brush set first, as this is a good introduction to their range of brushes.  I have an affiliate link here:  https://www.rosemaryandco.com?u=LMASON2024 My affiliate code is: LMASON2024  Please enter the code in the coupon/affiliate code box at the shopping cart or checkout page.
