On the Painting Table Week in Review

Since my last lost I haven't painted that much.  I have been incredibly busy with work and family issues and I haven't had much time for hobby.

Here are the rest of my light jacks that I painted over the year end.

Hunter
I tried glazing for the first time.  The blue blade on his axe was supposed to be a gradual fade from silver to blue but I guess the technique is harder than it looks on youtube.  Oh well I guess it will just take some practice and I will get it down.

Work in progress report orange Cygnar army

Ok so December is usually taken up by all of the things going on. I probably won't get to my local game store at all this month and painting time is almost as hard to find. However I do manage to get to painting last night at around 10:30 and got about an hour and a half in before I had to turn in. I got quite a bit done though. All I have left to do on these warjacks is the tan areas, some highlighting and touch ups, and the fine details like the rivits and things.

Cygnar Orange Crush Army

Ok so maybe I am crazy. Or maybe I just didn't like having my Cygnar army painted like Everyone else's army. I was looking for alt paint schemes and came across a couple of orange schemes that I liked. I am starting with my light warjacks and repainting the smooth surfaces. I am going to try to get a earthy burnt orange color. I am starting with the old solar orange foundation from citadel. I am going to do a devlin mud wash and work my way up for the highlights. The metals will be done with the ancient metals from reaper, ancient bronze and ancient copper mostly. The padding and accents will be tan washed with devlin mud as well. Here is a picture after my first coat of orange. I will be putting another coat of orange before I move on to the other steps that I just outlined.
