Bane Riders

Original upload date: July 18 2014 – October 4 2014

I did a very small conversion on my Bane Riders. I changed the angles of the leader mount’s rear legs so that it’s rearing up above the others. The Denny bit on the base is an extra I had laying around. I was going to use it as my pDenny but in the end I preferred the plastic one. Now it will become a bronze statue seeping into the sludge. I also swapped the arms of two riders to avoid duplicates.

Here are the finished models. Sorry about the photo quality. The Bane Riders have an amazing amount of detail on them and the large bases took extra long to dry.

Afflictor

Original upload date: April 24 2014

I experimented with another one of GW’s Technical Paints on my Afflictor. Nurgle’s Rot is weird, it’s semi-clear and rubbery. I built up successive layers to simulate a drop oozing out of the stinger. Eww.

Unfortunately, a few days later I pulled it out of my foam case and was confronted with this:

The drip was so rubbery that it absorbed the texture from my foam and got squished. I had to get rid of it. So here’s my revised Afflictor minus the drip. I still think it was a cool idea, but sometimes experiments just don’t work out.

Vayl, Consul of Everblight

Original upload date: February 16 2014

I’ve finished Vayl2. I used her as a practise model during Meg Maples’ Masterclass painting workshop.

Meg showed us how she paints her amazing eyes. It’s quite a bit more involved than my usual minimalist approach, but basically goes:
Step 1: Black
Step 2: White leaving black outline
Step 3: Black circle in centre
Step 4: Bright colour in black circle
Step 5: Tiny black dot in top half of bright circle
Step 6: White reflection dot

It was incredible to watch her do this, and which such a large brush as well! My attempt misses out on the final step, but I’m pleased nonetheless. Here’s my attempt:

Later on I took some pics while experimenting with a $1 lens from ebay (like these here). It sticks onto a mobile phone and acts like a macro lens.

Her green eyes show up a little better when when taking pictures with it, but I couldn’t avoid that slight orange tint around the photo or manage to keep the lens cap out of the shot!
