tyrant xerxis
finally done with xerxis!
yeah. default skorne colors using slightly a different method.
vmc carmine red for the flats, highlighted with khador highlight and heartfire then washed with p3 red ink. followed the skorne book recipe of umbral umber, exile blue and coal black for shading.
for the golds, vgc glorious gold was used as a base for the armor trim and red lacquered areas. this was followed by a wash of citadel agrax earthshade for the trim and p3 red ink for the lacquered parts. finally a final shading of citadel nuln oil was applied to the deepest parts.
the steel areas of the pillars of halaak was painted with a base of pig iron, washed with nuln oil and highlighted with cold steel. thesand on xerxis' base and horns/tusks/teeth on his back banners were basecoated with jack bone and washed with agrax earthshade.
i believe that i will start hoarding agrax earthshade and nuln oil now :D

painting updates + some reminiscing
i just did the math and found out that ive been in wargaming for eleven years. i remember buying my warhammer fantasy battles started box (empire vs orcs) in neutral grounds in galleria before watching the first part of the lord of the rings. that was december 2001 and ive gone through 10 armies, 3 systems and countless times my fingers have been cut, drilled and glued together. nice.
anyhoo...
finished the girls of dick's witch coven of garlghast and moving on to the egregore. this is the third time (i think) that im painting these models and while i find that the witches have gotten easier, their disco ball is still a pain in the ass to paint. i still have no shortcut for the glowing green surface under the plates.
on the skorne front, ive given my epic morghoul, mordikaar and molik karn a simple green bath. tyrant xerxis' reds have been started with a basecoat of vmc carmine red. not unexpectedly, i dropped the model and the arms pooped off! i would have been royally pissed at my clumsiness had i not seen that the sides were now more exposed thus making painting those areas easier to paint.
on the gaming side, i havent been able to play as much as id like as most the weekends of may have been fully booked by anniversaries and family trips. bad timing since the bunker will be closing its doors by the end of may. hopefully it will be open for general gaming on the 25th.
