Little WIP post today. I started to prepare another side project - my Keeper of Secrets - for Bolter and Chainswords' annual ETL painting challenge. In case you wonder - no worries, I will still continue to work on my Word Bearers. But you can't have enough daemons to summon forth from the warp can't you?
At this point I need to say - this is a gorgeous model (not easy to build, though!). I really like the daemon sculpts of the late 3rd Edition, and Forgeworld's Keeper of Secrets is based on exact that style.
Some of the details were a bit damaged, so I had to re-do the chain and her nipple-piercing. I also added a tongue piercing ('cause they rock! :P).
The fingers are already pinned, I'll do the same for the spikes.
Of course there is still some greenstuff work to do on her!
Besides this model I also got a bunch of Juan Diaz Daemonettes aswell as plastic chickens who will be done at a later time. Regarding the colour scheme for my Slaanesh Daemons I would like to follow this artwork:
Light greyish/purplish skin, black details, gold trims, dark tattoos and purple claws. Pretty much GW's current 40k studio-scheme.
I'll be on vacations this weekend, but I aim to start to paint her next week. Hope you enjoyed my post today - regards,
Lady Atia
I think the purple tinted grey skin tone will look great on this scale - also if you're going fetish, black and shiny is always a winner. Looking forward to seeing her with more layers on (so to speak)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYeah, i will do the leather black of course - not sure about gloss varnish though. There are things where it works pretty well, but I realised it can also destroy the overall details/highlightes.
And yeah, can't wait to come back and start with her :)
Secret Weapon Miniatures came out with a line of acrylics early this year. There's a set of three especially for black rubber that have a satin finish, rather than matte or gloss. I've used them to decent effect on tires and hoses. Might be nice?
DeleteNice can't wait to see these chicks/dudes done!
ReplyDeleteI need to start work on my word bearers deamonettes and I think I will follow your scheme for them.
Me neither! Need to figure out how to do my command models (banner bearers, music girls and champions) for my 3 units.
DeleteYeah, guess I have thermal water and 4 days to figure out the recipe haha :D
Love this model. I think it is fantastic. I am totally with you regarding the Juan Diaz sculpts. They were awesome, and much better than the current ones.
ReplyDeleteYep! Although I need to admit, the chicken girls look better, as they have more movement. The current foot-slodger daemonettes are far too static!
Deletelove the model and the planned paint scheme! I think some Hasselfree Miniatures slave girls would look amazing on the base of this model...
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your progress during ETL! Are any other Bunnies participating?
Haha, not sure what to do with her base yet tbh.
DeleteAnd I don't think so^^ - I hope I can see you pledging for the Chaos forum too this year ;)?
AoD and MDRC all the way!
DeleteHonesty with my model completion rate I'm not actually sure I'm helping...
DISBELIEVE!
ReplyDeleteI hope in a good way!
