Introducing...

The first of my Cynar warriors of the Seven Seas is Jr. A fantastic model to paint, the sculpt is clean and clear with no tricky places for a brush. This model was my trial for the paint scheme and I am very pleased with the results. I took a risk trying a sort of fake NMM (to scared still to try the real thing) with the result looking like a matt metal finish.

There's a little bit of lighting effect there too which I hope to get better at. Good enough for now though.

Blue - Midnight Blue to Enchanted Blue to Skull White, personal fav.

NMM (?) - Shadow Grey to Space Wolves Grey

White - Tried something new here and I like it a lot: Dark Flesh, Dark Flesh/Vallejo Bone White 50/50, Bone White, Vallejo Off White.

The Next Step...

The second round of bases are finished. These are the last (for now) that have been completed seperate from their models. I have added a beach in many of the bases to asist the 'tying-in' of those that won't fit/work on the wharfs, i.e. B13, Reinholdt, Aiyana and Holt, epics, etc will have beach bases.

Colour Schemes:

Timber - Balsa, Chaos Black spray undercoat, Scorched Earth basecoat, Graveyard Earth/Commando Khaki drybrushes.

Metal - Nails cut from Tomb King spearheads, chain from $2 Shop necklace, Chaos Black, Chainmail wetbrush. Rust - 70/30 Terrecotta/Blazing Orange, watered down to wash, applyed liberally in 1-3 coats as required.

Sand - Chaos Black, drybrush (DB) Snakebite Leather, DB Bubonic Brown, DB lightly Bleached Bone, DB Chaos white in selected patches.

Water - Enchanted Blue and mixes of Enchanted Blue with Chaos Black and Skull White for wave shadow/highlight lines.

Glowsticks - Cut from Thunderhead's electrical arm coils (unused) Dark Angels Green/Scorpion Green/Chaos White, drybrushed lighting effects.

Humble Beginnings

Being inspired for a change of scenery after 3 years of Warhammer, behold the beginnings of my Cygnar army... the bases. Balsa, jewelery chain and wire 'ropes' make for a nice start to the nautical theme.
