[Archive] Warband of Naagruz

Naagruz:

After basically leaving "The Hobby"™ in '97, I’ve recently come back to painting minis.  Thankfully, I didn’t sell off too much of my original collection and still have a fair mix of CD-related models.

This is what’s on the painting menu currently:

nitroglysarine:

good luck!

Sounds like an excellent plan my friend…and an idea similiar to my own vision. I look fwd to seeing your progress.

Cheers,

Blue

dncswlf:

Nice start you have going! Can’t wait to see your vision realized!!

tjub:

Great collection you have there, and a sounds like a solid plan as well… :slight_smile:

Zanko:

It looks like a very considerable force with many cool models! :hat off

I would like to see some more keener pics of the old “Mighty Ugezod’s Death Commandos”. I only knew the blurry pic from “the stuff of legends”! :wink:

Naagruz:

Sorting out a color scheme & paint process is step#1 for me.

I’m thinking that most of the rank & file would benefit from some dipping. The polyurethane bulletproof exterior & the way dipping lends cohesion to different units is a big plus.

Looks great, but I wouldnt want to be in a swamp with that much armour… :stuck_out_tongue:

Naagruz:

Yes, I work slow.  80% travel does that to you.:smiley:

Shield concept:

tjub:

Ah, cool effect on the sheild. How did you do that?

You can find it in scrapbooking stores and online.  It's hands down the BEST crackle paint out there.  It's certainly nifty for adding more depth to weathering.

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Wow that crackle paint is awesome! I need to give that a try one day. It certainly adds a great, unique effect to your mini.

Blue in VT:

:hat off yeah I like that shield idea…very original!

nitroglysarine:

that is an epic effect, looks really scaled correctly to. May I ask if you know a uk supplier for it?

Does it come off if knocked? or is it solid?

ingtar_shinowa:

I like you little guys! Really new and interesting paint scheme!

Shakhorth:

Very nice paintjob. Certainly shows how dirty swamps can be. :slight_smile:

dncswlf:

The crackled aged effect is wicked! Can’t wait to see more pieces!

nitroglysarine
The product site is HERE & the retailers list has multiple shops in the UK that stock it.;)

It will come off depending on how you treat it. For example, you can run a coat over Dorland's and then chip it out similar to the hairspray method. For this shield I gave it a coat of minwax to lock it down & provide some shading.

The effect is scalable to a degree and I've even used it with Epic 40K stuff.  White & clear are probably the best colors because you can tint them.  The other base colors are pretty neutral, which works out well for inks etc.

Naagruz:

Been on the road a fair bit, but I squeezed in some time to put new paint on an old mini.
