This is a really nice and subtle transition from warm to slightly-cooler. You've also done some interesting detail work on the rest of the model, besides just the hair. The overall paint job looks simple, but does its job without too much flash.

Second Place, 2 points: Ashcans


Another simple but effective blend, really selling the octopus' camouflage ability (or is it growing out of the stone itself?? spoooooky). You've got just enough detail to highlight the desired effect, without going overboard.

First Place, 3 points: Mikey Purp


...I mean, this is a great lizard. There's so much happening on this guy, and so many intricate highlights and blends, I thought you'd used a color-shifting paint at first. The facets on the warpstone, the scales on the skinks' backs, and the shell are done so smoothly and with such vibrant colors. That ocean base is no slouch either. Excellent work!

Y Ddraig Gwych(Stay awhile and listen)

"Comprehensive List of Assets for High Command, Circa 1912, compiled by Second Lieutenant Hughes"

The only Titan class asset sent to Wales by the King's Empire. Painted in local Livery, Y Ddraig Gwych was stationed with the 1st Wales Coastal Defense Battalion, meant for the garrison to be able to repel any invasion attempt in the event of Ireland falling back into the Guild of Mercantilers' hands. It was never meant to see any actual combat so was provisioned with no replacement parts, spare ammunition, or Soulstones for power. With the event of the Invasion Of London and the sea creatures which came to be known as the Gibbering Hordes, the quartermaster Major Davies ordered the salt-stained aging King's Hand be activated for it's original purpose, coastal defense.

Though morbid, the Soulstone cache powering Y Ddraig Gwych was fortuitously recharged by the sinking of the HMS Destiny while it was transporting 4th Borderers from Ireland to Wales. The Titan-class sea monsters attacking the Destiny was successfully repelled , but was unable to keep the ship itself from sinking and at least half the hands and troops were lost with the vessel.

It has since been repaired with various parts from steam ships, automobiles, and industrial boilers. The main gun on Titan has been firing beach scrap, debris, and spare bearings encased in wax out of recovered brass casing as no ammunition has been supplied to the 1st Wales since initial issue. Though since it has been recharged with the souls of the 4th Borderers it seems to have acquired some construct "quirks" and opts to wade into a melee and bash things with it's primary cannon more often than not these days. These un-authorized modification overseen by Major Davies has resulted in Y Ddraig Gwych falling out of the approved guidelines for operating such a war-engine in His Majesty's Army. It is this soldiers opinion this makes the Titan unfit for redeployment elsewhere and that Major Davies should face a disciplinary committee for the unauthorized alteration to a major war-engine.

Process: (A recipe for success)
I used a lot of new materials I never have before in this and I'd like to go over a brief overview of them.



1. Starting off I airbrush primed with black Stynylrez like I always do. Decided to forgo zenithial priming as we were gonna gently caress up Big Lad right hard. Airbrushed the AK chipping color then liberally sponged Vallejo Calvary Brown and Orange Brown over the whole thing. I then masked up everything that wasn't going to be painted armor plates with my favorite highly technical masking medium (silly putty) then hit it with the AK Worn Effects. I discovered it's important to mask where you spray that stuff because it dries crystal loving clear.



2. Next stop basecoating. I used the following cremes to get that white. I chipped some of the paint off here at this point as a test. The AK worn effects is very easy to use and will chip like that using a wet work brush you don't care about too much. It makes a hydrophobic layer or something? I don't know how it works. I just used the Scalecolor Green right outta the bottle without any shading becaaause...



3. ... I just discovered airbrushing using inks! I took a class where I was told I was using my Badger SOTAR all wrong trying to put regular Airbrush paint through it and that it's really designed for suuuuper thinned down medium like inks/candy coats. I adjusted the saturation and colors in the image with the inks a bit so it was more prevalant. I shaded the lower parts/shadow occulsion parts of the green armor plating with FW Payne's Gray ink which is just like loving magic for darkening things. I also used it to blacken the barrel of the gun and carbon the vents on the back.

Several coats of matte varnish went down between layers as "Save Points" since I was afraid I was loving various things up trying them for the first time.



4. Finally the water effects. Having never done water I've been very satisfied with before, I opted to try something different. I tried using a UV cured resin so I wouldn't have to mess with mixing 2 part resins and dealing with shrinkage/drying/etc. This stuff comes outta the bottle clear so I tinted with some teal ink. Hoo boy was there some learning process involved with this one. So I bought a little UV flashlight to go with it, since it says it cures under UV light in 3-5 minutes. I left that fucker on there for like an hour, but still it was tacky, took fingerprints etc. Long story short, I left it out in the sun for 30-40 mins and it finished completely hardening up, no muss no fuss.

For the tide, I used Woodland Scenic's Water Effect. It behaves just like it says on the bottle, it's a heavy gel that dries clear, drybrush white and boom instant water motion.

Claiming A Recipe for Success
First, the most prominent piece of these knights is their bluish armor.
Prime: Leadbelcher spray
Base: Grey Knights Steel. Seriously, Games Workshop released the aptly name paint this month.
Wash: Wash all over with Drakenhof Nightshade
Wash: Lightly wash all over with Nuln Oil
Edge Highlight: Grey Knights Steel
Rivet Highlight: Runefang Steel

The flat metal color of the bolters and handles is Leadbelcher washed with Nuln Oil. The swords and staves are Grey Knights Steel washed with Nuln Oil and drybrushed with Necron Compound. The brass accents are Brass Scorpion washed with Nuln Oil. The golden shoulderpads of the Justicars is Hashnut Copper and Nuln Oil. The red of the weapons is Korne Red and Nuln Oil, highlighted with Korne Red/Mephiston Red. The bright silvery metal of the banners and Justicars' arm shields and is Runefang Steel and Nuln Oil. The eyes are White Scar washed with the new Contrast paint, Aethermatic Blue, then the edges cleaned with a little Nuln Oil.

The base is primed black. Then using an airbrush, apply the following colors through a dryer sheet: Kantor Blue, then Skrag Brown, then White Scar. Wash with Nuln Oil. Then highlight the gold bits with Retributor Armor. Wash the crevices and gold with Agrax Earthshade. Paint the rim of the base black (I used Abaddon Black, but any black will do).
