N:AW Teaser

 

For Christmas the kid got a box of Necromunda Ash Wastes, and this weekend with the house to ourselves we finally got a couple of games in with completed gangs and terrain!  Fun stuff, even if the first game did take nearly four hours as we looked stuff up!   Second was much faster, same 1400 cred battles but half the time. 

More to follow. 

Fleshy Tests

 Hello blog reader(s), it has been a while since the last post.  The kids have been busy with water polo, which means I have been busy driving, and with a couple of home projects and the season of birthdays I have had very little time for hobby (or gaming, I missed a lovely Quar game).

I have been working on a project which is inching closer to completion. 

The figures in question have a lot of bare skin, so I thought I would simplify things by using some newfangled Contrast paint.  Since I have not used this paint before, I thought a test would be in order, and this level of work was something I did have time for.

Gulliman Flesh test #1

I had a ton of old Chaos Marauder arms, so I selected a few that were similar, sprayed them white, and then undercoated them with the following colors: Flat white spray, pink as a highlight, all pink, ivory, Bugmans glow (a ruddy skin tone), and splatter paint with Bugmans. 

Here is the result:

Honestly, it was super fast to do the skin this way, but I did not get the look I was after for this project.  I may run another test (after all I have plenty of spare Marauder arms!), or I may just go back to traditional painting. 

What do you think?  Have you used Contrast, or another one coat paint for skin?
