The March Workbench
Well its time for another painting update and working on a few projects if my own whilst I await some commission work being posted in from a regular client of mine. I’m working on Asterion Moloc. Asterion is the paranoid chapter master of the Minotaurs and earlier this year I painted Ivanus Enkomi so thought I better finish up the pair.
I have decided if I will paint anymore minotaurs yet but I do have Scibor spartan shields and the grey knight kit ready and waiting to customise some regular terminators if I do. Got a lot more single miniatures to paint before working on any squads even if they are just 5 man terminator squads but we will see. I also feel the Space wolves bug coming back as Black Library are releasing some more books…
Also on my little Instagram photo you will see I’m still painting my sedition wars box set from Studio McVey. I took a little break to prevent me rushing and becoming bored. I’m also still working on the Empire bounty hunter featured in a post last week. I have finished sculpting the giants severed head and just making sure the miniature is nice and tidy before undercoating this time.
Beautiful job so far… I hope you are open to comments? 😛
Do you think the shield colours, being the same as the armour will lead to it being lost in terms of detail? I tend to like shields being painted inverse/differently to the armour.
For the Cingulum (the hanging red groin covering), also havin the edging metallic does something similar to the shield. Perhaps a red highlight with some deep shading (although I note your shading on the red is quite good), on the edges would work?
Great work over all, top job! 🙂
Hi Russ,
I’m always open to comments and thanks for your input 🙂
I think the Cingulum I will try and add some white freehand to break this up but I am not sure. Either than or I will make the circular areas jeweled.
I plan to paint the studs around the shield a purple or red jewel but I haven’t decided. I may paint the inner part of the shield before the bulls head etc in a white like the V shape but again I’m still not sure.
I will have a few attempts at different options and see how it comes along.
But yes there isn’t much contract to this miniature, not good I suppose lol.
