RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-01-2020 12:22 PM Just finished all the clothing including the boots/belts/leggans & applied a Soft Tone Wash.When it dries I'll do a careful dry brush to give them a little dirt. I was going to do Ash Grey but that's close to the highlight the regular (live) figs will get so I'm just using earth Brown. Today it's the Chainmail/spears,shields & a Strong Tone Wash. So I'm thinking 4/5 days to do a full Army counting basing the Strands as Units. Which means approximately a month for the entire project if I keep up the pace. Realistically a better bet would be 6 weeks as the regular Shadow Army is larger that the Fell Army & so is the Elf Army. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-02-2020 11:57 AM The Dead are Done the figs that is,I still need to paint the Strand bases & then I can mount them on the Unit base (40mmx20m). So that's todays project which may run into tomorrow.24 Strands =12 Units My new paints will arrive Monday so I can't do the Orc General & his Guard Strand & the Legate figs until I get them.Unlike the rest of the Army they represent Live Units so I need a Flesh paint in the coming order to do them. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - BigDumbYak - 04-02-2020 03:14 PM Don't forget that the internet loves pictures OD. Thanks for the updates! I should do some more work on my LNoE stuff... RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-02-2020 09:50 PM But Tech does not love OD but as I told Sam I'll try to figure it out. Due to the Pandemic my Go To Nephew is in lock down (as are we all here in NJ). So I painted the Strand bases & mounted all the Strands on the 40mmx20mm Game bases.Tomorrow I'll box the up & get ready for 24 more Orc Strands. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-03-2020 11:42 AM Today I'm boxing up the completed Fell Army & clearing my paint desk so I can put out 25 Orc Strands+ Command Strand & 3 Oruks ( I'll be painting for the regular Shadow Army).I have the paint for the Orc Flesh (Monster Brown) so I'll spend the time until my new paints get here Monday to paint the Orc Strands flesh & then soft Tone wash them.The new paint order includes the highlight I'll dry brush the flesh with so I can get to it right away. I'll also have a couple of Evil Human Strands ,a Legate Strand & 2 Ogres, 4 Worg Riders & 2 Elite Wolf riders Strands & 4 Worg Strands. So the first half of April is accounted for. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-04-2020 11:36 AM The Orc Strands flesh are all done as well as the Soft Tone Wash so it's just a matter of waiting for my paint order.I just tracking this AM & it now indicates they will arrive today.I don't get my mail until late Afternoon (living on the edge of forever) so can't start on the Orcs clothing until tomorrow. Maybe I try to paint up the skin on the Ogres & Giant ,I can't find any Midnight material on their flesh color so I'm thinking maybe a light human flesh & red mix for a ruddy effect? PS-I checked Army Painter Light Flesh & it's actually rather dark so I tried it on the Ogres & Giant & it looks ok esp. when I put on the soft tone wash. The regular Cauc. Flesh from Reaper is lighter so that should all work out. I also did the Human Slaver Unit & the Legate figs skin beings I had the cauc. Flesh out. I was worried about the Army Painter Light Flesh as it was rather gummy from setting around for a couple of years but a little drop of water did the trick. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-05-2020 11:45 AM Got more done yesterday than planned. I cleared the paint desk of the 24 orc grunts strands & left only the Command figs & some special units. The Ogres & Giant are done (oddly Army Painter's light flesh is rather dark so it worked out well for these figs.I also finished the Worg packs(4 Strands) Legate figs & the slaver band & based them all up. I did get my paint order so today I'm finishing up the Command strands & the Worg Riders/Elite Worg Riders. So tomorrow I should be able to get regular Orc strands. PS-Just got the command Units & dissident Orcs painted as well as the Worg Riders/Regular & Elite. The final steps for tomorrow will be a Dark Wash for the metal parts & wood parts followed by a harvest Brown highlight for the wood spear shafts & shields. The Orcs need a small dry brush of Ash Grey & then I need to do the fig.Strands base strips & base them up.The Oruks are done & based up. Then I have the 2 Night Kings to paint so probably won't get to the Orc Grunts until Tuesday. RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-06-2020 07:03 PM All the Command Units/Worg Riders/Elite Worg Riders & the 2 Night Kings are done & based & stored. I also dry brushed Kobold flesh highlight on the 25 Orc Strands so I can get started on them tomorrow. I think I'll do them in 2 batches of 12 Strands each. I'm giving myself the rest of the week to finish up the Shadow Forces. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-07-2020 09:07 PM The 1st 6 Units of Orcs is painted up (12 Strands) I still need to paint the Strand Bases but I'll do that tomorrow AM.Then I'll start on the 2nd batch of 12 Strands. I'm not going to base them up until there all finished so probably Thursday will be completion day. OD RE: OD Returns-New Project - Old Dwarf - 04-08-2020 09:45 PM The Strand bases from the 1st 12 Strands are done. I started the 2nd batch of 12 orc Strands so the tunics, leggens/shoes/leathers are painted & given a soft Tone wash. Today turned out really nice for a change so some yard work cut into my paint time.Tomorrow I'll do the wood (Shields & spear shafts) & metal bits. |
