Unfortunately my black always ends up reading as blue…

I'd love to do a Black Templar army. Complete with the dusty/ruined bases, etc, like the John Blanche art.

But I'm a sucker for lush tufts on my bases!

comfycouchman.bsky.social•8 days ago

Black huh?

Been painting a LOT of black the past couple years.

My Death Company are the most recent black clothed minis I've done. #paintingwarhammer #WarhammerCommunity

The Empress of Shades from Return to Dark Tower, and Darth Vader (who needs no introduction).
The Empress was the first time I used Black 3.0 on a mini.

This was my first time working with black. I'd like to get better at edge highlighting but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

reply

garfytop.bsky.social•8 days ago

Looks good to me, nice one

reply

amonsteronthehill.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thank you.

At some point I need to paint these guys. I don't think the same technique will work on all the small panels. I am wondering about maybe using a dark blue base and black contrast over the top.

Any advice?

Here's an old Commissar I built from spare parts (the old Cadian Command Squad and Baneblade kit, IIRC).

reply

cephyran.bsky.social•8 days ago

The blade of the sword broke off on my Baneblade officer, so I gave him a catachan knife replacement.

That tells more than one tale! 😎

That’s a cool name. I guess it had a great influence on his career.

reply

danthebloke.bsky.social•6 days ago

He wanted to be a baker but got railroaded into stabbing unfortunately

reply

owolf.bsky.social•6 days ago

Making bread is nice but stabbing has so many career opportunities.

Not Warhammer but this is one of my favourites.

albal665.bsky.social•8 days ago

Amazing! Did you buy that from Etsy? I just bought the Librarian model as a birthday present for my mum (she got me into Terry Pratchett as a kid).

reply

athenion.bsky.social•8 days ago

I got it as a gift but it was ordered for me from Element Games. https://elementgames.co.uk/paints-hobby-and-scenery/paints-hobby-and-scenery-by-manufacturer/micro-art-studios/discworld-miniature-death-with-guitar-1

Absolutely love the Disc and Soul Music is by far my favourite in the series.

reply

albal665.bsky.social•8 days ago

Nice one I think it's the same brand I bought mine from, just from an Etsy seller instead. I'll keep an eye on Element Games if I want to get more though as that one came from Poland so took a while!

Yeah Soul Music is ace, I still have the cartoon film of it on VHS somewhere in a box in the loft!

reply

theemeraldwizard.bsky.social•7 days ago

I found some good ones at https://shop.microartstudio.com/en/szukaj?controller=search&s=Discworld as well (pic below, painted by a friend). But I'll have to check out the ones you guys mentioned as I build out my collection.

reply

athenion.bsky.social•7 days ago

Will have to check these out

reply

albal665.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oh yeah it’s the Micro Art Studio Etsy shop I got my Librarian from!

Somehow, my Mordian tank scheme ended up being mostly black. I guess I subconsciously liked the "Fortress of Arrogance" model from the old Apocalypse books a whole lot!

Thanks! They’re quite old now, these are a little more recent.

reply

nhelks.bsky.social•7 days ago

After practice I can do a passable black paint job, but it’s far from my favourite.
Still, at least it’s not painting in white (shudder).
