I love all of these. The archways are amazing but the paint job on the goblins and squig are fantastic, even if I have to question the ethics of painting wood red, no matter how 4th edition it might be! ;) The whole game is going to be jaw dropping.

And spent today painting this angry boi.
A few touch ups (there's a line on his axe which bothers me), but he's done enough - plus he looks like one of my best so far!

I'd love to know how you did the slayer's hair? I've got my slaters to start on soon and whilst my technique looks ok, it's not a patch on this. I tend to just undercoat in white or orange then layer up with orange contrast and highlight. You've got a great multi-tonal look there!
 
Well, for sure it's one of the best beards I've painted! And as it's generally the case, the model was painted in a big ol' fit of motivation - all in one session (5hrs).
What this means is, that my memory about it is super fuzzy...

It definitely used:

ProAcryl Orange
AK Volcanic Yellow
ProAcryl Titanium White

And then shaded with whatever was on the table - most definitely would have been

Army Painter: Grimdark Shadow
Army Painter: Voodoo Shade
ProAcryl Warm Brown
ProAcryl Coal Black
And maybe GW Contrast Wildwood (but I'm not sure on this, could be Rattling Grime)

Basically I painted the basecoat. Roughly mid highlight whilst the paint was slightly wet, so that it blended together.
Shade using voodoo, and then probably whilst that was wet, bit of Grimdark in the recess.
Dry brush a lighter highlight on. (Definitely I mixed the yellow and the white together first before adding to the orange,)
Then repeat the shading process - adding a tiny touch of the brown and black too.
Then final highlights very carefully painted on. They're more defined by v.carefully painting some shading on, just in case the highlight bleeds over into the recesses.

Stunning, love those arches. They look great with the bases. I think Id be tempted to paint the edges of the tiles black to really finish things up. Looking forward to seeing a game setup, will look better than any promotional shot GW did!

Thanks, that's much appreciated. I shall use this as motivation and a challenge to myself. My first thought on seeing this was "I'll never be that good, what's the point?" But whilst part of picking up the painting again has been to develop a skill, which I like doing in itself, but also to fight against a need for perfection/hyper self-criticism in all things I do (we don't need to unpack that childhood trauma :lol: ), so I've been trying to reframe it as "I'm not that good yet and I'll never be if I stop practising". I just want to get a little better with each mini I paint and when I eventually get to the end of my grey pile (ha ha ha) I can always drop early ones in the acetone and redo them. I'll do a WIP post soon.
 
That is exactly how I started!
So weighed under by the number of unpainted models I'd collected to 'paint later when I'm good enough', that eventually I realised that finished is so much better than perfect!
Good luck
