orkwrangler's miniatures

Wow! My space alligator horsey doesn't have one of those! (I just figured maybe they kept it on the inside, like certain reptiles. Not that I checked. "Sex a zoat day" sounds like a bad day at the intergalactic xeno zoo.)

Other examples don't have this artifact either.

I bought the mini in a GW store. It's on a two-slot cavalry base but has only one tab. The body has three points of contact with the tab so I don't think it's for structural support. Perhaps it's there to aid casting or maybe just a mould defect.
 
That's a miniature I like, but it is a challenging one to paint. Nicely done! You have to experiment. That's the only way to grow. And at the end of the day? You can always give him a bath and do it again, but I don't think that will be necessary here. ;-) He looks good!

Been a couple of decades since I painted models. WarColours paints used throughout.

The armour was painted with Hawk Turquoise & washed with Waaargh! Green ink. Happy with that.

Instead of buying a metallic green I mixed Waaargh! Green ink with Mithryl Silver. I used that on the chest & belt eagles. In hindsight, I should have gone with something with more contrast.

I painted the power fist with the same metallic green mix & then washed it with Shadow Black black ink expecting it to just go into the recesses. It just made everything black. Didn't behave like the old Citadel stuff so I had to go back & highlight.

The Bad Moon yellow gun was a ball ache. Tried to use the Skull White to blot out dark colours but that was still hard work. The Firestorm Yellow ink on top of Bad Moon yellow is very pleasing.
