Let me tell ya folks, I'm ready to take a break from this project for a bit. Love the regiment that I made, but I'm glad to put a tack into the final unit and call the whole 3 snob force done for now.
Last unit to get finished up was my brutes. I made a post before about how I built these, inspired by moldmoldmold and his new book. I still have a lot of experimenting to do before I can figure out how he actually sculpts and paints his stuff, but this was a start I guess... some things worked with these, and some I think could go better - but that making art right? You learn a bit more with each project, and the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.
Anywhooo, here's how they looked closed to the beginning
Lots of layers of matte medium to create a sort of sickly translucent layer (that's the white). The rest is very minimally painted. After a wash or two, I picked out the actual "root" which they call Carbuncles. The lore goes that these roots crawl in and attach themselves to the nervous system of the dead and create little walking brute zombies that are tough to kill!
Gross! Anyway after a bit of work on the base, and a little more gloss, they were pretty much done.
The Rootmen of the Carbuncle:
I am painting up some Turnip28 terrain, so next post will probably be that or W!R stuff!
This is really cool. I've been really interested in the turnip28 setting for quite a while. I think this is pushing me to start on it.
