Warscryer Citadel

Games Workshop recently re-released their Skullvane Manse terrain kit as an AoS piece called Warscryer Citadel. Whatever you call it, it's a unique and cool terrain piece. I've just recently finished mine.

To move this large kit along, the airbrush was used extensively. Starting with the stonework of the citadel.

This was the paint progression for the worked stone.

To get the worked stone visually separated from the surrounding rock work, I painted the natural stone starting with purple, then worked up to lighter colours with more tonal variety.

Thus, this paint progression for the rocks.

Anyway, after those base colours were laid down, and I had sprayed the wood sections, everything else was brush-painted. And honestly, it went pretty quick.

Lot's of cool geometry in this kit.

Don't know what I'll be using it for, but I desperately wanted one right after the original kit went out of print. Happily, it came back!

'Til next time.

The new Necromunda is out today...time to build some terrain.

Shadows Over Hammerhal

Whew...it feels like I haven't finished a painting project in a long time. And when I look back, it's true. Well, finally off the painting table is the first batch of 10 figures from the new Warhammer Quest game, Shadows Over Hammerhal.

I started with the Bloodreavers. Here they are assembled and based on some resin inserts.

Hammerhead is different than Silver Tower, in that it uses a GM to run the game. Not sure how that will go down with the game group. Well, we'll see...in time...once all the damn figures are painted!

Assembled figures were primed white, as usual.

And then they got the floor wax treatment.

To speed things up, I sprayed on the skin tones, and some dark brown for the pants.

Then I worked on the skin for a bit. Basic wash, and some bruising around the scars.

Large areas of base colours went down next. Red and metal, mostly. Also worked on the bases at this point.

Then came all the detail and finishing work (including some highlight passes on the skin). Once everything was done, I dropped the resin base inserts into the base blanks (thanks Cool Mini Or Not). And the first enemies of the Hammerhal set are complete.

At the same time, I painted this Slaughterpriest figure that came with the relaunch issue of White Dwarf last September.

Pretty cool figure, actually, and you can use it in Silver Tower.

 Well, that's all for today.

'Til next time.
