Thralls Batch 1

Simple zenithal prime with Black Vallejo primer, initial layer of Army Painter Matt White, followed by a second spray of Pro Acryl Bold Titanium White. 

My plan is to use the same colour scheme as the Reavers, so won't bother listing the paints used.

    So... the black primer went on first, and sprayed for even coverage everywhere, yes? Then you painted on the first coat of white with a brush? And then the final white spray... was that the zenithal one? Is that straight down, or a slight angle? No, wait, you said the black was zenithal...? Im confused - why would the black be zenithal?

    As I re-read my post, I admit that it makes little sense. Everything was done with the airbrush. Black primer all over, matte white from straight on, but fairly thin, so more of a grey, then the titanium white from maybe 60 degrees to start, then up to 90 degrees at the end.

Shark Week DISASTER!

I wasn't feeling it for the old sharkie boy this evening, so I went back to my terrain piece.  Now that it was all brown, I knew I need to give it a black wash, but the thought of the cost involved was putting me off.  So I found a super cheap black wash recipe from Black Magic Craft, which in turn led me to an improved version he had done.  As it turns out, I had all of the required ingredients.  Blending Medium, Flow-aid, black ink and even water!  If I had to buy this, it would not have been a cheap wash, but as the monery was already spent, it felt free. Insert exciting picture of washed boat half that looks slightly darker than the other half.  This is a slow job, and the flow-aid was put in a bit heavy I suspect, as I am getting a lot of bubbles. I will give this a drybrush afterwards, to bring back some highlights, and knock back the shine.

 Not a lot done this weekend.  I could probably call this terrain piece tabletop ready, although it is far from being done.  I need to apply some verdigris, and paint the various fish, bottles, barnacles, and shells.  The overall paint job is a bit dull.  After washing the whole thing, I drybrushed it with a 1:1 mix of Tokai Grey and Brigadine Brown from Army Painter.  I did another lighter highlight with more of the grey, but really it barely registers.   After that it was Balthasar Gold from Citadel.  I am not sure if the Sigmar sculpture on the front is supposed to be wood or metal, but now it is metal.  I then tried AP Strong Tone for the first time.  It was not what I expected, and is very thick, with a slow drying time, so you could sort of move the shadows around a bit.  I liked it, and will use it again I am sure.
