I have decided to add a couple of articles to this blog over the next few weeks, the first will be a step-by-step guide to painting eyes on the miniatures so this will be added by next week, I am away for 2-3 days so no posting until I get back !!

Yeah, foe render is complete, highlighted the flesh with cadian fleshtone and the fur was highlighted with xv-88. Lot of detail on the face of this model so took a little longer. Tip of the day, basecoat the face then paint the eyes, any errors can be quickly covered over with another basecoat of flesh colour making life easy !
 I also changed the colour scheme for the bone and horns, basecoat Rakarth flesh, wash with Sepia and then highlighted with bleached bone followed by another Sepia wash.





The basing is still basic but I intend to upgrade the quality once the core units are complete and I move onto the other models.

Going to leave the standard bearer until the rest of the Gor have been completed as I cannot make my mind up about the banner design, free hand painting for the first time as well, bit nerve wracking :)

so here is my latest work in progress, my foe-render.

here he is partially base-coated and yes the right arm is missing as I prefer to paint the shields separate from the body until the painting is complete.






 I have tried several types of brushes including the Javis range and Citadel brushes but recently purchased some brushes from Army Painter and was well impressed with the quality of the bristle and the sturdiness of the ferrules.

The insane detail brush is superb for painting the eyes so this brush has now been set aside purely for this task. The basecoat for the flesh is Bugman's Glow and the fur is basecoated with Mournfang Brown.

I selected the colour scheme from watching an excellent tutorial video by Warboss Tae on youtube and would thoroughly recommend that you subscribe to his channel.

Below is the link to his painting tutorial

I do not claim to be the quickest painter around as I am not into speed painting so I prefer to be patient and take some time for the finer details, further pictures will be added as this figure progresses over the next couple of days.
