Base coat + first wash

I added some more base coat plus a wash. The citadel inks always look brighter (or more defined?) when wet. The skin colour is quite human looking and I think I need to make it a bit more alien (whatever that is but maybe just another yellow wash).  The shot does not show the true yellow , it looks brighter but you get the idea. So next is highlighting and detailing which I have started on the smallest one. I think they look the part and would be fun to have a game.


And a reference shot to show the different sizes

I undercoated the starter box models with Citadel foundation Dheneb Stone and Rhinox hide on the base. I undercoat using a large brush. This gives me a chance to have a good look at the model and plan the colours etc. The models are highly detailed and the armour is nicely done.

Next I used MSP sun yellow and Midnight Blue with some rainy grey. I did a test wash using Citdel casandra yellow. It looked quite orange but when applied it produces a nice yellow/orange wash that should highlight .

The was is still quite wet here and has dried to a nice finish with the base coat showing differently to the undercoat.


This shot is a better representation I think

Eden – Nephilims starter box – Assembly

My xmas present arrived today from Taban, the Nephilims starter box. So if you didn’t know I am a huge fan of Taban and the Eden range of models. IMHO they are the best range of mini models since Rackham Confrontation. The Nephilims have created quite a bit of controversy as they are “Alien” and seem a strange addition to the post -apocalyptic world of Eden. I like them. The are quite strange and have some sort of breathing apparatus and look like they would be better living underwater.  The Range consists of

  • Yu’Silaa  a 20 point disc throwing , fast footed alien
  • Bo’Dagun who has a net with good combat stats of 5/4
  • Master Yg’Faris with a nergal tech weapon and high PSI of 5/4
  • Ar.Gamon a 35 Point beast with combat of 7/5 and VIG of 5/3

So the starter set is 20 + 25 + 20 + 35 for a total of 100 points, perfect for a quick game. 4 tactic cards and 3 mission cards round out the starter set plus a contaminated token and limited profile cards with graphics instead of model photos. Models based on the Taban resin bases 



Plus I picked some dice and the “Askari Alghul” a 35 point beast plus you can see the contaminated token.

Nice.
