A blog about Warhammer 40K, and my favorite defenders of the Imperium the Imperial Guard. From tactics to painting, to just plain fluff. This is my take on the wonderful hobby that is 40K.

Hobby Progress: Painted Krom Dragongaze
Alright so finally got another post. I have been working on Krom Dragongaze, the space wolf special character from the sanctus reach campaign. I love the model which is why I got it, plus he makes a great wolf lord/battle leader. Kept with my armies theme and did a bit more final work, which I think shows in the face and in other areas. There is def some more work to do but I really like his look so far.
I used lothern blue and then the guilimans glaze for the "runic" parts on the armor, it fits into the recesses well and has a nice glowing effect.
On the cape I did some minor highlights, using a medium red (wazdakka I think) for the main, then evil sunz red on the outer edges and raised bits, then khorne red in the recesses for some shading. Turned out good, needs prob a few more runs to clean it up, but I don't do shading too much so I'm bleh at it.
I still have the base to do, so its not done, but I can play with this guy and not feel bad about it.
The axe turned out well, I used leadbeltcher as the base, then on the blade edges some old mithril silver I still have before the new paints (don't remember the new equivalent) Then used guillimans blue glaze for the runes and the edge of the blade for the power weapon glow. I do love the glazes and used the green on the gems all over him, though it needs a lot more washes to really bring it out.
hope you enjoy.

That axe looks sweet very well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, its not hard to do which is why I like the technique. The glazes are amazing
DeleteYep, the glazes are just awesome. Something else to try, basecoat white, then drop a big drop of glaze. That way it's as vibrant and brightly glowing as possible, and absolutely easy to do. I glazed metal colors before, but I prefer the result of white basecoat.
