Summertime

I was tempted to title this "Kaislikossa suhisee", which is the Finnish translation of an old English childern's book "The Wind in the Willows".

It's been a bit too quiet on this blog, I started my vacation and have been travelling and doing other stuff. So there has not been that much time left for painting and blogging, even though I haven't been going to work...


But today I finished the last miniatures which I dipped some time ago, and here are the results:

This wa mainly a paint scheme test for these, and a quick one as usual. Red spray (from Army Painter) and just small bits of yellow for scales, brown for haft, metal for the speartips, bone for teeth & claws and blue for decorative feathers. And of course these were dipped in the Army Painter Strong Tone dip.

Not too bad, though I am not fully convinced of my choice of colours. I wanted something different from the ones used in the Armybook but I wonder if I went a bit too far. The base was painted using textured paint (Stirland Mud from Citadel Paints drybrushed with Bleached Bone, and edges painted in some dark brown). I added both Citadel grass and "Swamp Tufts" from Army Painter, which did help a bit.

Oh well, back to painting some more Orks. Have almost 20 ready to be dipped...
