The entire miniature is given its base colours. When you start, you may see some patches didn’t get much of the Chaos Black Spray so just touch those up with a little watered down Abaddon Black. I put the muddy stuff down first (I used Blackfire Earth which is a difficult bugger to get down but leaves a lovely effect) and undercoated in black because this is going to be a dark looking miniature when finished. Not the most interesting of stages, I shall grant you. But for those of you who are interested in how I do what I do, this is where it starts… You may do something like this yourself already and if that’s the case, you may as well skip on to the last photograph and see the finished project. I’m not much of a batch painter, and this method has worked for me throughout this project. So what I thought I’d do was show you how I’m painting them. I wanted to show off a bit more of the Orc Blood Bowl team but it’s still not done and I didn’t want to do just another WIP post as I’ve shown them off a couple of times now. I hope your painting efforts are going well. Not only do I need to get this Blood Bowl team done, but there’s a certain red painted legion that needs my attention too. He was a bit wobbly on the desk top before that so he’d be very precarious on that plinth without the added weight, and the 2p piece is the perfect size and weight for these bases.Īnd now I need to get back to my painting desk – there’s a lot I still want to do this year and I’m aware of time running out. Here he is in the glory he never really got:Īnd if you’re worried about him toppling over, I should tell you that there’s a 2p piece superglued to the underside of his base. But over all, I’m very happy with this miniature and I look forward to fielding him.īut I didn’t get the chance to field him in that painting competition, so it’s only right that I let him stand on his plinth at least once. The eyes didn’t come out quite as I’d liked, and there could be more highlighting on the flesh. The squig gave me some issues, and it’s probably the weaker part of the model. I don’t like overusing it, so it’s just a hint. I also cracked out the Blood For The Blood God technical paint to decorate Varag’s massive weapon. From the mud placed on the raised boot, to just the general wear and tear all over, he definitely looks like he’s been sprinting around a muddy pitch for more than a few minutes. One thing that I’m really happy with on this miniature is the weathering and effects. What’s more, there’s a lot less rust on this guy – he’s a star player so I’d guess he can afford to keep his gear a little better than the team grunts. Also, as all the other players in the squad have numbers and names based on Liverpool Football club players, I didn’t want to confuse that. Rather than assign a legend like Varag Ghoul-Chewer a squad number, I’ve gone with a crudely drawn star motif that I thought was fitting of a player with this guy’s reputation. I probably did give this chap a few extra layers of highlight just because I want him to pop a little more, and I think it’s worked quite nicely, but it’s pretty much the same method apart from that. He’ll be playing for Da Mighty Redz when I get them all done (getting closer now), so it’s that same Mephiston Red armour and for his flesh, I used a blend of Waaagh! Flesh and Moot Green paints mixed pretty much 1:1 for the base. So, I painted him in very much the same way that I’ve shown on this blog before – a process detailed in this tutorial. Let’s take a closer look at the latest addition to my Blood Bowl team. Well, I’m glad that I took my time and didn’t rush anything, because I’m particularly happy with how this massive orc turned out now that I’m finished with him. This was the model that I was going to take to the Forge World Open Day but I didn’t have a chance to finish him. Hello, Blood Bowl fans! And welcome to the post that shows off the first images of my very own Varag Ghoul-Chewer.
