I should really introduce myself before I start. I’m Liam from Scotland I’m 24 years old. I have been shuffling around on here CoolMini and Massive Voodoo for a few months.
I have been looking around on here for too long - Some may have seen a post asking if I could go about making a Chaos Dwarf Ogre (if it would fit in). You see, I dont play Warhammer I’m more of a painter. Albiet not a great one haha and dont know much lore or back story for these guys!
Although I’m just a painter I do like to stick with one army for a while and ive taken a great liking to the Forgeworld Mini’s.
I’ve not painted in Around two years although I have finally started painting again, I’m not usually too impressed with my own work and a lot gets disgarded and that’s usually why I give up! Trying to turn that around this time, Stick by it and try to progress.
And what better way than to make a thread…show my work… and get some tips advice and make friends in the process?
I would like to make some friends on here. I have no friends IRL who like to paint miniatures and I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to joining local groups SO it would be nice.
Anyway enough waffle(boring story!) I hope everyone can bare with me (im at work and will post pictures of my WIP when I get home!) Got my priorities right
OK So heres the Daemonsmith. Its very much a work in progress.
Im pretty happy with the gold and the silver so far
Please bare in mind this is just the basecoat for the red armour…havn’t even started on it
The same goes with the loincloth thing he wears its just a base coat.
Pretty happy with the face too apart from the shiny bit
You may notice his right shoe in the pics… Bloody dropped him to take this pic and it chipped! GRRRR LOL. And yes rather strange technique with the knife up his ***!
Hey guys thanks for the compliments. The gold is pretty good and has some ok shading but its hard to take photos of as its true metallic colours so it doesnt show very well.
I have a Nikon p510 but im useless with it… those photos are from my iphone
Any suggestions of where to go with the ogre? I actually thought of giving him a grotesque mutated arm a lot like this one:
