Skin Test

Been working on model number two (aka Gregory according to Rox, Wrack No.1 was Geoffrey), and trying a slight difference in skin colour.

This time I used a wash of Baal red, followed up by lightening Deneb Stone with Skull White, rather than the Fortress Grey on the last model.

Here's two shots of the new chap, and then two comparison shots.





I'm undecided if I think it's better. Am I thinking it's not out of self doubt, or am I thinking it's better since I've tried something new, and no one wants to go back on something they've changed.

Unsure.

  1. Looks good mate, I think the difference between the Red and the Ogryn Flesh comes down to taste alone, but one thing I will say is that the flesh looks much less chalky on the second model. Good work man. Today I finished up a unit of these guys:

    Its for a guard army I'm painting for my mate. 6 down, 84 to go. Once I've based these guys I'll post some pics on my blog.

  2. Have you been on war games foundry? There's some cool minatures on there, could be some potential easy conversions for a guard army.

    Here's some of the range, the cultists / swat teams might work:

  3. i like the second one too. seems like he's all amped up on combat drugs and shit. the pinky whiteness really makes him look like a proper sted head.
