Today I'm going to share my last but one Vampire Counts units, the weird Vargheists. They are cool miniatures but poses are quite shameful and I do not like too much the extremely high back fur (the one with two row of fur is a bit embarassing ahaha)!
However I've painted them more or less 9 month ago (I think) and I sold them on eBay as usual.
I decided to make them with a realistic feeling (how strange) so I paint them in a grey scale (enriched with a slight shade of blue), with brown fur (Mommy GW should provide them a kind of cloth to cover their "shames"...) and black and glossy wings to create a contrast with the body (darker wings than the dark body clear the body itself).
I do not like too much paint wings generally, and I love the glossy leather finish onto miniatures, so I make them black glossy, it add a bit of sick IMHO.
I decided also to use a bit of bestial brown to veil the middle tones to give a more natural feeling. It is the same technique used with the Liberators.
Finally a classic hand of gore of course.
Hindsight a bit more of dirty should be better.
DGD Levels:
Dark: 4/5
Gory: 3/5
Dirty: 2/5
What do you think?
Great job. The gloss on the wings is a nice touch I may have to borrow ;)
RispondiEliminaI use these guys, without the wings (using the arms in the kit), as my Chaos Spawn. They're great models.
Thanks Thor!
EliminaGlossy wings are in my opinion very interesting -good result/work rate-, I'm very glad to be helpful!
Yes they are a good units, I've also seen great DE Grotesques made with them: their versatility is a strong feature. Now I'm curious I must find into your site your spawn!!!
