Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game - Water Cultists Water Cult Warrior

Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game Water Cultist Warriors

Carrying on painting miniatures for my D&D campaign of ' Princes of the Apocalypse' and using miniatures from the Temple of Elemental Evil board game. It was time for the Water Cult, Water Cultist's warriors. Again I decided to paint each one slightly different and have different base terrain to denote them whilst playing. 

These miniatures weren't the best in terms of quality & sculpts, but they were perfect for representing Water Cultist 's Warriors as the official art from the campaign book, shown below.

The only noted paint colours used were for the shields and gloves:

1. Vallejo Model Colour Red Leather 70.818 & Vallejo Model Colour Cavalry Brown 70.982 ( darker shield had more cavalry brown added).
2. Citadel Reikland Fleshshade & Citadel Fuegan Orange shade/wash.
3. Forgot & didn't note the highlight paints used.

Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures Helmed Horror

Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures Helmed Horror

Nice miniature very representative of what's shown in the Monster Manual. plus relatively easy paint job. I tried to achieve the colour of the armour as closely as was shown in the Monster Manual 5e. I think I managed to nail it.

I'll just mention how the armour was painted which comprises most of the miniature.

1. Citadel Liberator Gold - Basecoat.
2. Citadel Leadbelcher - Layered & watered down.
3. Citadel Agrax Earthshade - Shaded/washed with some Citadel Lahmian Medium.
4. Citadel Ironbreaker - Dry brushed.
5. Citadel Liberator Gold - Dry brushed.
6. Citadel Runefang Steel - Light dry brushed.
7. Citadel Runefang Steel - Edge highlighted.

Plus here's another angle to show the miniature off.

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.

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.

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.
