Your painting is astonishing, I fully agree with everything that has been said. Definitely like the colour selection and how smooth your colours look. On top of this you are pulling of some very fine conversions! In all honesty, I can see why you never were able to finish an army if its going to be of this quality, although seeing how fast you churned these out, that goal seems less hard to reach!

Here is hoping you will keep us inspired with amazing models. Keep it up!!

Good show, truly good show! Can't wait to see more, bro!

Magnificent.

What really makes these work is the dark and brooding feeling they have. The colors are pretty and bright, but there's an earthiness to these that really suits the grim warhammer world.

The halfling is a great example of what can be done when an amazing painter gets his hands on a really great sculpt. The model is goofy, but the paint job is so "serious", that the halfling comes off looking dangerous.

I think you've got some golden demon worthy skills, my friend.

Thank you all for the feedback!

Anyway, manage to Finnish the knight (think it turned out pretty nice), hope you like it:

I'm planing to do a tutorial om how to paint a spearman in the colours of Averland (of course, what else) as soon as I get some spare time! watch this post in the future to come...

C'mon man, I don't need any more baits to get back to Empire.

I love your weathered facial looks of your minis.

I think the second side is a half stylized "A" with a horseshoe in the backdrop. Possible?

Hi everybody! I'm back after a few days of no posting, but you will be happy to know that I have not been idle...

After receiving request from you for a tutorial I have decided to grant you your wish...so here comes the Drunken Halflings way of painting an Averland spearman:

First, undercoat with Chaos Black undercoat spray.

Starting with the flesh I applied a couple of thin layers of Tanned Flesh.

I then highlighted the raised parts with Tallarn Flesh.

Next I applied a shade of very watered down Mechrite Red.

A highlight of 50/50 Tallarn Flesh and Bleached Bone folowed...

and the flesh was finished by a final highlight of pure Bleached Bone
Next came the yellow parts of the clothing.

I started of with pure Iyanden Darksun

A shade of Dark Flesh was applied in the foldings

Then came a highlight of Darksun and B Bone

Parts to be white wore painted in Astronomican Gray...Tau Sept Ochre was painted onto the beard and washed with Devlan Mud

folowed buy pure Skull White on the white clothing

Next up was the metal parts.

A base of Boltgun Metal received a wash of Badab Black and highlighted by Mithril Silver

And then the batteries on my camera went low so I will have to continue after they are recharged!!

this is brilliant, i want to make the rest of my troops averland just so i can stick to the tutorial procedure, oh wissenlanders why oh why gray!

skipper · « **Reply #93 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:47:09 AM »

Stunning. How long would it take you to paint a model to then end-result?

The Drunken Halfling · « **Reply #94 on:** February 16, 2010, 07:59:38 AM »

Next I painted all the leather parts with Calthan Brown, then given a wash of Badab Black and finally highlighted with Snakebite...The green was painted with Knarloc Green and highlighted with 50/50 Knarloc and Bleached. The spear was given a steady coat of Khmer Brown.
The red was gone with Mechrite Red, washed with Devlan Mud and highlighted with 50/50 Mechrite and Bleached. Lastly the feather was painted Warlock Purple, washed with Badab, and given a first highlight with 20/80 Bleached- Warlock, folowed by 50/50 Bleached- Warlock.

Finally the base was painted with Scorched Brown, then drybrushed with Caltan Brown. A final drybrush of Khemri Brown came on that. Static grass was then glued with PVA Glue. Lastly the edge of the base was painted in Caltan Brown.
And that's it, a very straight forward way to paint IMHO...all i really requires is a steady hand. Hope you all like, and that it helps you progress your painting!
Cheers

really beautiful. I'll give that flesh method a try. Those are all game works paints right?

The Drunken Halfling · « **Reply #96 on:** February 16, 2010, 08:47:37 AM »

Yes they are.

King · « **Reply #97 on:** February 16, 2010, 09:07:26 AM »

Whilst the knight (as everything else really) is top notch & amazing in its detail (both sculpting wise as well as painting wise) I feel that it needs some sort of stylized design at the bottom of the cloak. It will help to give it a more noble feel. Anyway this is just constructive criticism so feel free to ignore it completely. Once again Bravo

jturner · « **Reply #98 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:57:18 AM »

this should be sticky'd as a flesh tutorial in the brush and pallete. really nice pallete of colors, I haven't tried any of these before and I am really looking forward to it. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques, and your halfling really is tops (well....it all is!!)

Thanks again!
