Narin Alternative Hunter Wip

xander2323 · May 11, 2012

I got the Alt Hunter for Christmas and have spent a long time prepping it. I have pinned the whole thing with magnets so there is no glue used at all.

I'm painting it one piece at a time. I've started on the torso and am about half way through. Quite a lot more work on this piece alone but I thought make a thread to show a few pics.

what colors did you play with on the skulls and teeth? Looking good so far man,

Thanks for the nice comments folks. When I've done more I'll post new pics.

Wolverenz - I use Games Workshop paints for my hand painting and Vallejo Air paints for airbrushing base coats / primer / gradients etc.

GW paints are great for things like bone and teeth - I used Bleached Bone as the base colour, then Gryphonne Sepia for the wash - and since the photo was taken I have drybrushed the highlights in more bleached bone and then the highest points in white. Here is a slightly more up to date pic so you can see a bit more of the bone:

The only thing I would add is that Games Workshop have just revamped all their paints - by adding hundreds more colours and types of paint and changing all the names. Now instead of:

Bleached Bone Base-> Gryphonne Sepia Wash - > Bleached Bone Drybrush - > White Drybrush

you would need to do:

Ushabti Bone Base - > Seraphim Sepia Wash - > Screaming Skull Drybrush - > Terminatus Stone Drybrush (special dry paint) - > Longbeard Grey Drybrush (special dry paint) - also can add line highlights in white as last step.

Hope this helps!

excellent!
i think you can dilute more your paint, here it's a little bit thick.

xander2323 · May 13, 2012

Could be the dry paint I'm using for dry brushing - its deliberately thick.

Hey no problem. here is a link to the Games Workshop mega paint set - it's pretty expensive but comes with every single paint they make:

I've added a few line higlights since the last pics. Here are some new photos:
