ok, did this in like 3 hours. I think my worst miniature of late. Didn’t have the patience to do better. And I really need to learn how to paint the skin properly. I need a guide. anyone has a video / blog up about painting skin?
Seahawks Cheerleader
This mini was originally an Elf BloodBowl Cheerleader but I decided to paint her this way to pay homage to my ”home” team here in Seattle, as a Seahawks Cheerleader or SeaGal. I believe this is either the 2006 uniform or one that they wear in cold weather, coz the 2007 uniform is a white sexy number. I’m not sure. Any Seahawks fan can tell me if I got the colors right?
Khorne Cavalry
ok after this miniature, I swear I’m gonna give red a break. Horse was nice to paint, the rider model is a little.. boring. so had to focus a little bit more on the shield.
Here’s a side view:
Champion of Khorne
This is one of the funnest miniature I got to paint. Perhaps the Khorne Red/Gold/Black colors is easy to work with. Love to paint flames or embers. This is the first time I had to shade a miniature the other way round where the light colors are inside and the dark colors on the out. Checkout the sword.
Elminster
Think this is the worst model I’ve ever had to paint. The definition is bad, forcing me to do all kinds of weird things to get the color in it’s right place. The eyes and the cloak were the most problematic.
Eldar Swooping Hawk Exarch
Finally! Took me 3 nights to get this done. Had a lot of problems with the base and how the model is assembled. The Wing dropped twice when I was painting it and the foot broke from the base, requiring me to reglue it back on after filing the foot a little. Think I did that 5 times. *ugh*
The Swooping Hawks are a highly mobile aspect, representing the birds of prey from ancient Eldar legends. They wear complex sets of wings which allow them to enter the battlefield at critical points and lend firepower support. Like the Banshees, the Hawks sacrifice durability for greater mobility. Their lasblasters make them excellent harassment units against light infantry (such as Imperial Guard or Orks). Also of note, they wield cleverly designed grenade launchers on their legs, which allow them to bomb enemy units as they fly into the battle. The swooping hawks are also equipped with haywire grenades which are very effective at disabling any vehicle making swooping hawks a great anti-armour choice as well. The Phoenix Lord of the Swooping Hawks is known as Baharroth, The Cry of the Wind.
Ok. some might say that I went overboard with the Gemstone effect but I love painting them. 
Sorceress
Ok another one done in a day. I still can’t get my blending right. It’s so flaky. I think I need to use wet blending technique which requires the paint to be kept wet. The dry air here in the US is not good for blending. I remember not having problems like this in Malaysia. Guess the air is humid there.
So here we go, pastel color scheme.
Lava Rock Earth Elemental
After 10 years of hiatus, I’m finally back painting miniatures. I find it very relaxing and allows me to concentrate in peace. Very therapeutic. So here’s my first miniature, an Earth Elemental that was designed a long long time ago. I can’t even remember where I got it from but it has the inscription G.W. at the bottom of the base. Don’t think it’s Games Workshop because the base is a metal base and Games Workshop miniatures typically come with plastic bases.
here it is, please excuse my shoddy sub-par shading. It’s been a while
What do you think?
