Figures

[wjbrandel]

I painted these to reset after my race car got destroyed.

The ogre twins.

A winning hand, a pair of trolls

More to follow

Iron golems.

The owlbear. I think he's trying to surrender

And all of them together.
I'm using these to experiment with painting techniques. Hopefully I will improve my painting with these guys. Only 193 more figures to go. I'm planning to paint them in small groups between models. They have been sitting in my stash for almost a year.

I would not want to meet any of those dudes in an alley, at least without a belt-fed weapon.

Do tell!
Hoping to be edified by your experimentation, both the wins and the losses!

In my games you meet them with a sword.
I use them in my fantasy rpg that I run.

Those were painted with the xenothal (spelling?) highlighting. This is the first time I've used that method. Not bad but I don't see much of a difference in that and my normal paint and highlight work.

Here are 2 that I painted a couple of years ago using the normal way of painting with highlight layers.

xenothal

Had to look it up... zenothal, like in zenith. Interesting.
I'm only just starting to get a handle on glazing, or very thin layering of paint with the brush.
I suppose I could use a rattlecan of white or med grey primer from above to get that effect on figures and vehicles.
So far, I've only ever just painted highlights directly at the end...
I'm guessing it takes the guesswork out of it.
You must still have to add pinpoint highlights to complete the effect.
