Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game - Bugbears

Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game - Bugbears

Bugbears from the Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game. Since all 3 were exactly the same, I decided to paint them slightly different addressing their fur and loincloths. To make it easier to distinguish which ones were which, I mounted on numbered mounts as shown below.

Bugbear flesh on their faces were all painted the same:

1. Citadel Bugman's Glow basecoat.
2. Citadel Reikland Fleshshade shade/wash.
3. Citadel Bugman's Glow & Citadel Ungor Flesh layered.
4. Citadel Ungor Flesh highlight.

Bugbears fur No.1:

1. Citadel XV-88 basecoat ( with some Citadel XV-88 & Citadel Rhinox Hide blended in the shadowed area).
2. Citadel Agrax Earthshade shade/wash.
3. Vallejo Model Colour Ochre Brown 70.856 & Citadel XV-88 (50/50) drybrushed.
4. Vallejo Model Colour Ochre Brown 70.856 drybrushed.
5. Citadel Ungor Flesh light drybrush.
6. Citadel Shade: Seraphim Sepia shade/wash to tie it up & knock down the drybrush.

Bugbear fur No. 2:

1. Citadel XV-88 basecoat.
2. Citadel Shade: Seraphim Sepia shade/wash.
3. Citadel Balor Brown drybrushed. 
4. Vallejo Game Colour Plague Brown 72.039 light drybrush.
5. Citadel Shade: Seraphim Sepia shade/wash to tie it up & knock down the drybrush.

Bugbear fur No. 3:

1. Citadel Balor Brown ( with some Citadel XV-88 & Citadel Rhinox Hide blended in the shadowed area).
2. Citadel Shade: Seraphim Sepia shade/wash.
3. Citadel XV-88 drybrushed.
4. Citadel Balor Brown drybrushed.

Also to differentiate the bugbears more, I painted their morning star/ clubs with a blooded, rusty & clean versions.

 

Magma Base Tutorial from Lan Studio

From LAN Studios a very useful small tutorial on doing a magma base. I hope you like it & find the pictures useful.

Rocks are added & GW tech paint is applied in thick layers & fixed with sand & gravel glue.

Stage 1:

After a black undercoat, the whole base is airbrushed in white, marking some brighter spots with stronger layers.

Stages 2,3 & 4:

Airbrush Sol Yellow(Scale 75)/ yellow from Kimera Models first (leaving some white spots), Vallejo orange fluo followed by Kimera Models red & later this red is mixed with black.

Stage 5:

Some black was applied with an airbrush & then a few layers of drybrush, starting with Kimera Models red then followed by red + black & finally pure black.

Stage 6:

Applied/painted thick pure white in some spots to mark the most hot places/points.

Stage 7 & 8:

Over the white spots, was applied using a brush, yellow, orange fluo & red in a way to achieve high intensity of colours.

Stage 9:

More Scale Colour 75 black was applied over the rocks, then drybrushed with a mix of black & beige. Then later with a brush was more details added.

Hope that helps. Thanks to LAN Studios for this tutorial.

2. For the fur a mix of Vallejo Luftwaffe uniform and black, then added a little more white to highlight.
3. The skin is Vallejo German Camo Black, with sky blue added to highlight it up.

Otherworld Miniatures ACC2b – Hunting Hounds (3)

Ohh, another post. This time round, its Otherworld Miniatures ACC2b – Hunting Hounds (3) which were great pleasure to paint. I decided to play around with a wet blending mention as well as the good old trusted dry brushing. I think they came out rather well.

 

 

 

I didn't take note on the colours I used on these rather wonderful canines. 

Games Workshop Mirkwood Rangers

Well its been a very long time, since my last post. Not because of lacking of painting, far from it, I have been painting quite a bit, but just not photographing my completed miniatures.

I feel that this should be renamed "Mirkwood Wood Elves" which would be more apt.
