It has been a while since I posted any painting. This should not be taken as a statement that I have not been painting at all. Instead, it should be taken as a statement that I have not been making much progress in my painting.
That may have to do with the birth of my daughter and her constant (adorable) demands for attention. To make this a mega painting update, I also started that first Bloodcrusher (once again my daughter is interfering with my painting schedule!) and the Purple/Black base of the crusher is complete. I intend to bring the brown up to a gold color using some drybrushing to achieve that NMM effect (this is the same effect I used on the statues for the chapel). Here is what I have so far...
So this is a Bloodcrusher primed Grey with a basecoat of chaos black on the body, Liche purple on the armour plates and Snakebite for the NMM. I used shadow gray mixed with chaos black to highlight the edges, and then added more black and drybrushed the transition to make it smoother. I did not like the initial edge I had on the highlight but I think this turned out pretty well. I am tempted to use a drybrush of shadow gray to make the edges pop a bit more. For the armor I added Liche Purple to the Chaos Black/Shadow Gray mixture in two doses to shade in the dark spots and then do some more drybrushing. This I am going to highlight with some Warlock Purple.
The rider is based with Deneb Stone and is going to get a wash of Leviathon followed by more Deneb mixed with some skull white to bring up the color. I will post the finished test model tonight (hopefully) if I can get some painting in with the in-laws in town.
I finally had a chance to finish (before basing) a second unit of Fiends. I think they may need one more highlight on the flesh to bring the color up, but your comments/feedback would be appreciated.
