Humans Painting

A lot of time has passed since I painted my last team. But as I was stuck the couch for the last weeks due to a juicy knee injury I finally got it done and painted my human team.

The minis are an Elfball team from Impact, so the positions were not exactly like those on the Blood Bowl Humans and I had to juggle them a bit.

So two of the five safety players, which kind of resemble the blitzers, ended up being linemen, as I liked the postures of a lino better for blitzers.

As usual the painting is not that great, but considering my lack of practice and the fact that most colors have been very old and pretty claggy, I am still rather happy about the outcome.

Dark Elf Painting Finished

So I finally managed to get my Dark Elf team painted and I must say I am kinda happy with the results. Of course any pro painter would just laugh at it but hey, it's still the best I managed so far ;-)

The color theme is Naggaroth Night, Xereus Purple, Hoeth Blue and Shining Gold. So rather traditional for this kind of team. As always painting the eyes has been the most pain for me and only for the Witch Elves it turned out okayish, so I still have a lot to practice in this area. Also I could not be arsed to bother much with high lights and shading but I will tackle this with the next teams.

This has also been my first project where I used electrostatic grass and I think it looks pretty neat. First the bases have been flocked with brown acre and then another layer of glue and grass finished it off. That way in some places you can see the sandy ground and hopefully this does not mean I have to replace all the portions of grass the minis will loose over time.

Finally I added two layers of spray varnish, first glossy then mat to preserve the color as good as possible.

And yes, I really need to get a better camera for future pics ;-)

Siringit Tantor Painting

After a rather long time I finally got around to use my pretty limited painting skills once more, this time on an Elfball Siringit Tantor.

Even though this is by way not as good as most other painters would do I still feel happy about getting it done. It took me only about two days which is almost lightning speed for me and it looks almost half as good as I had hoped ;-)
