Bloat Trall Cryx Solo - Commissioned Work

After finishing a few commissioned works, I decided I need to practice my miniature painting this weekend. Last weekend was a bit unproductive ( painting-wise ) as my 8 year old son is getting crazier and nerdier with the game of Warmachine / Hordes. We played like 5 times a day last weekend. I also got my son a Trollbloods faction book that he brings anywhere he goes. My son also decided to add more units to our Trollbloods army as he plan to play Khador and Trollbloods exclusively.



Anyways, This Bloat Trall is from my own slowly growing Cryx army. I do not normally paint my own army as I am content playing with primed armies for the meantime. I have tons of commissioned works to attend to but as I've said I felt I needed to practice my hand painting before moving back to my commissioned works.



This Bloat Trall was painted with Vallejo Game Airs and seal with Vallejo Polyurethan Varnishes. I had a hard time achieving the pale dead skin seen at the Privateer Press website, but had fun painting this model nevertheless.

I still need to add a bit more highlights to the minimum unit of Bile Tralls before I deem them done. I enjoy fielding them against my son last weekend though. :)

Below is a quick rust painting experiment that I painted for around 10 minutes. :b

Below are some of my Warmachine commissioned works I plan to work on this coming weekend. More painted models coming out of the next weekend as I plan to go berserk painting next week.

Tollbloods Trollkin Long Riders verDC23 - Commissioned Work

I have here another Trollbloods unit from Hordes. This is also a commissioned work from the same client of the Trollkin Champions. As I've said my client wanted different skin tones per unit of Trollbloods, I decided to give these Long Riders the standard Blue of Trollbloods. I must admit that the only part of the models that I enjoyed painting was the skin. I had trouble making the fur of the bisons look good. I will have to practice on fur painting on my own models soon.



These are nice models ( as usual ) from Privateer Press. The only problem is that you need to sculpt fur as the bisons are molded and cast right in the middle. Otherwise the sculpts are pretty solid. A ton more painted Warmachine / Hordes soon! Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next posts, just enjoy the hobby! :)

Trollbloods Trollkin Champions verDC23 - Commissioned Work

My client wanted different skins per unit of Trollbloods. The same blue skin is plain confusing during gameplay. So I decided to use Vallejo Game Air Foul Green as the base color just to give it a different skin. I love it so far! I really liked how the Foul Green skin turned out and should try a greener skin on a Trollbloods unit soon.



These models were painted with Vallejo Game Colors and sealed with Vallejo Satin Polyurethane Varnish. Base work is pretty standard, I just sprinkled some Aquarium pebbles and sand over white wood glue and hand painted with Vallejo Opaque colors.

Gatorman Bokor and Bog Trog Swamp Shamblers verDC23 - Commissioned Work

These little buggers won me SILVER in a Unit Painting Contest at Facebook. These models are my first commissioned miniature painted models as of now. I have a ton more units ( commissioned work ) to paint and post here at my blog soon. I love doing minis these days as it requires so much less clean up and sanding work than Gunpla. My busy schedule just does not allow me to work on Gunpla unlike before.



These models from Privateer Press has very beautiful sculpts and a delight to hand paint. I did airbrush the main green color using Vallejo Game Airs and hand painted the details with various Vallejo colors as well. I loved adding blood all over the Bogs and the Gatorman, looking forward to painting more blood on my other models.

Kraken - Warmachine Cryx Colossal verDC23

I just finished this last weekend. This model made me decide I like Cryx as my main Warmachine army ( Skorne as my main Hordes army ). I love the studio colors as seen at the Privateer Press website. However as I have been painting Gunpla for a few years now, I thought of going crazy with the color and match my other Cryx models.



As usual with my builds, this colossal was given a bit of weathering ( some patches of rust all over the purple armor ). I will also be painting a Cryx Deathjack that I plan to give a deeper ( darker ) purple. This model was painted with all Vallejo Game Airs. Very vibrant paints that are pretty airbrush friendly. Sealed the whole model with Vallejo Satin Polyurethane Varnish.



This Colossal would form my main Cryx list, although I already have 130 pts of Cryx models, I need to form a list that would work better with each other. I will try not to form a Bane Trall spam list ( although I might not be able to resist ).



I will be slowly painting my purple Cryx army, although I have a ton of commissioned works to attend to at the moment. Thanks as always for dropping by and stay tuned for tons of painted Warmachine / Hordes / Malifaux models soon! Just enjoy the hobby! :)
