The Cornerfag Paints again! (AKA Not so very weekly)

Hello everyone!
Sorry for my lack of updates lately, I decided to take a little break from most things related to gaming in general, except my gaming evenings. But I'm back now, and I've brought some pictures of what I've managed to do since last!
First up, my skeletons.
These were with speed in mind, as I had promised myself to make at least ten of them per day, which made speed a necessity. The colour scheme goes as follows:

1: Spray white (Army Painter spray, the dull white).
2: Fill up areas where the spray missed with skull white.
3: Paint cloth in a thinned down Hawk Turqoise. If it's thinned enough, it will act like a thick wash and sink into the cloths' recesses, letting the white shine through where it protrudes and effectively create an automatic highlight.
4: Paint the rest of the fudging mini. (Essentially, I just randomized colours. For metallic areas I varied between Boltgun metal, Mithril silver, and Shining gold. For wood I used Scorched Brown, and for other things like scabbards and such I went with more Turqoise / Grey / Brown.
5: Paint shields as you'd like (I actually painted the Turqoise on the shields while I had Turqoise on my brush, and the black whilst there was black). Outline with w/e metallic.
6: Apply god liqui-- I mean Devlan Mud.
The result:






I'm pretty satisfied with them, actually...

And now
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help myself
For some reason, I've gotten into another Infinity hype.
I just can't help myself because IT'S SO AWESOME
...
Well, either way
I painted up my Reverend Custodier (She is the sweetnoodles, dat mini).
It's done differently from my Tomcat when it comes to colours, and to be frank, I like Miss Custodier more. So she'll be the model for the rest of my "army"'s (well, not really an army since it's a skirmish-sized game...)colour scheme.
I didn't really have any technique when I painted her, it was more of a "paint this area, paint that area, highlight this area..." approach. Which, combined with the sweetness that is Infinity's detailed minis, ended up in quite a time-consuming project.
The main colours are: Space Wolf Grey, Warlock Purple and Blood Red. A mix of Chaos Black and Codex Grey made the cloak, watered down skull white stood for the Highlighting, and then some codex grey on the gun.
Turned out like this:




And that's all for me this week!
Keep rollin' 'em dice!

The CF returns with some painted minis!

Hello there!
I'm sorry I've been gone for so long, but school and everything has gotten in the way. But today, I'm free enough for a post. So here it is!

So, lately, two things kept me busy: The show at school aaand... Painting!
I was painting four entries in a local painting competition, and I thought I'd include these here:

1st, the Single Miniature entry: a Nomad Tomcat Engineer (Infinity).



I kinda took a chance with this. Most other entries were larger models (50mm bases), but I figured a small model might stand out, or something... Ah, who am I kidding, I just wanted to paint an Infinity mini.
I tried out something new on this mini: blending. I tried blending a shift in the shade, going for the look of bright sunlight from somwhere above the Tomcat's right shoulder. I'm pretty happy with the result.

2nd, the Large miniature entry: The CF's forest Terrorgheist!


Ohyeah, so what do I need to explain? It's big. It's awesome. And I bought the Citadel wood kit and placed the trees on the base.
This was my first attempt at a snowy basing. I think I went a little bit overboard with the snow (as well as the blood, haha), but I'm fine with that. I like snow and blood. And he gives a mighty impression whenever I see him on his shelf. I'm proud of him.
Also, he won me 300 swedish crowns. (Roughly £30)

3rd, the Unit entry: My Black Knight-conversion!

Perhaps you remember these? If not, these are my Black Knights for Vampire Counts. Made out of Brettonia, Tomb King Horsemen and Grave Guards. Not much to say more than that though... So... moving on..

4th, the army diorama entry: "Necron awakening"!


So, very straightforward: Cardboard, one layer with cut out holes for miniature placing, one layer uncut. Small stones / grovel / rubble, whaterver you call it. THen modelling grass. Green colour, first a well-covering coat of Dark Angels green, followed by (kinda dry)brushed goblin green, and gobling green on the grass, with a final drybrishing of white on the stones. Place models. Finished.
Earned med 400 swedish crowns, it did. (Roughly £40)

That's all for me today.
