Taking a break from Chinese monsters, I set aside some time to paint up my entry for the ScaleCreep HeroQuest Hero Quest, the gargoyle. You can see him here. It was a treat painting this guy, he's been in my gaming subconscious for decades.
I painted him with the same recipe as my terracotta warriors. He will most likely serve in the Shadow Empire army as an animated statue of Ching Dai (LoPan's boss). His armour does have an oriental vibe anyhow. He may also see action as part of a Khorne warband, I like the idea of a walking shrine extorting the chaos warriors to even more acts of devotional butchery.
Absolutely cracking job, I love the appearance of different textures. Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber, I've been trying a few new techniques for metals, stone and such lately, handy to be able to try a few on one model.
DeleteReally nice basing, there. Is he magnetized?
ReplyDeleteThanks. He isn't, I committed to the 40mm round. He's going to be used for tabletop rather then the boardgame.
DeleteI do love basing. GW Typhus Corrosion is a wonderful technical paint, I use it a lot for basing, and increasingly for weathering.
That whip is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, I used a sponge for that. The heat gradient on hot metal seems to be spotty, I guess less or more depending on the alloy, but the sponge emulates it nicely.
DeleteVery nice the whip is especially good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon.
