PP Feral Warpwolf: An Amalgam of Trying New Things

At lot has happened in the past month:  I got married, graduated from medical school, I'm in the process of moving, and I'm gearing up to start my residency!  But I've also been expanding my miniature painting horizons!  I spent a lot of time this month researching different techniques and trying to improve my airbrushing skills. 

One things I really wanted to get better at was creating more interesting bases.  I strongly recommend epoxy plumber's putty as a sculpting material.  It's cheap, sets quickly, and provides ample weight, plus it's easy to sculpt texture (as long as you do it quickly!).  Be sure to get the putty that is usable with plastic (otherwise the heat from mixing the putty will melt your plastic).

So I picked up a Circle of Oroboros starter from Hordes to try a lot of these "new" techniques out on.

First up is the Feral Warpwolf.  I've got pics in a couple of different backdrops (couldn't decide what I liked better).

Also, I wanted to thank Andrew over at SchnauzerFaceMinis for tips on oil washing, using pigments for different effects, and building bases.  I've watched all his videos and I greatly appreciate the tips I've picked up.

His YouTube channel can be found here.

As always, thoughts, comments, suggestions, and criticisms are welcome!  Thanks for looking!

More airbrushing! GW Tau Shadowsun and Stealth Suits

Well, my airbrushing journey continues!

I attempted some "zenithal" highlighting with these guys. I have to admit that I think I got a little too carried away w/ the initial grey coat and midtone, because a lot of the contrast from the black is gone. And although the final highlight looked pretty good before I started painting details, I feel like it may not be stark enough. So again, these miniatures probably need more contrast. I'll have to work on that for my next airbrush project.
