Show Us Yer Teams!

Superb paintjob on these, I like the bases too. The c^pes though... look a bit like beachtowels

[Akka]

I actually used eggshell to make those bases. Sandy paste and eggshell, drybrush and wash, "dead grass" static grass. Now I'm experimenting with GW technical paints for my next team.

Those Ogres look awesome, Gimpen! Here are my dark High Elves from the same tournament:

I love the numbering on the back. These are one of the best dark/high elf hybrids I have ever seen

I totally agree with the first part. Makes them having capes less of an issue .
These are indeed one of the best looking dark/high elfs around due to the outstanding paintjob. The minis in themselves I do not like however.

Agree. The numbers are stunning!

Just finished (well, until Axiom gets his Mino up for sale) my Chaos Dwarf team and took a pic with my new Foldio. My Dwarf team is based on the Houston Gamblers so I thought their evil cousins could be sourced from the same town.

I love the bright, contrasting colours you use for your teams.
What paint/colours/technique did you use for the blue?

Cheers mate

I use about 90% Vallejo Model Colour, including all of the blue. I start with Andrea Blue base coat, highlight into Deep Sky Blue and then into white. I then use a mix of Andrea blue and Medium Blue to glaze the dark recesses. I always use white undercoat on minis that will receive a light colour scheme.

Thanks for that. Is there a reason you use Model Colour instead of Game Colour?
What's the difference between a glaze & a wash?
Is this the wrong thread for this discussion?

IIRC Game Colour is supposed to match GW colours, but I find their pigmentation and consistency a bit spotty. Model Colour tends to be thick, pigment heavy paint which I find works really well in conjunction with a wet palette. They do need a lot of thinning, but it is a small price to pay for tremendous coverage.
As you can see, Model Colour has its share of bright colours.

I think the only defining difference between a glaze and a wash is how liberally the thinned paint is applied i.e. you would be more judicious with a glaze.

And this is probably the wrong thread for a discussion, I might put a how to on my blog, when I pick up the brush again.

One version of wash vs glaze.

Going to start painting 2nd edition orcs tonight. Any tips to make these look amazing?
