Thank you for reply. I really appreciate all your feedback.

  1. Dark Cultist's gem was covered with gloss varnish after shading. Also her arm pads and stuff's handle have glossy finish but it's difficult to see it on picture. I don't like this miniature and it's hard to paint it becouse of very bad scoulpt. She has no face and her legs are too fat. I think that Dark Cultist is the worst miniature after Cleric so you need a lot of work to paint it well.
  2. The Reaper miniature was my first I painted. Was covered with black and drybrush with grey. But for better look you should blend all highlights with thin layer of light grey and than use wash on whole miniature. Also the scythe's blade requires some correction so if you didn't do it you will get a silver sausage after painting. Just remember ;) Base was done only with flock. So cover the ground with black and drybrush. BTW is the easiest miniature to paint.
  3. All insignias like Minster's stripes on clothes are poorly sculpted. So it's better to removed them before painting if you have some worries. You can use some file, scalpel or green stuff to do that. To paint it properly you need only a good hand and patience. You can practice painting on some other surfaces before painting on miniature.

All my bases were done with flock, washes and static grass. It's really simple to make a base like mine.

Thank you very much for the pro tips. I'll be eagerly awaiting pics of the rest of your Talisman work! :)

Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?

A question for you, Noalan: is there a particular brand of flock that you use, or is it your own mix? I bought a bag of Woodland Scenics, but I'm not that pleased with it.

Also, your Reaper's flock is black, and brushed in grey - did you buy black flock to begin with, or just paint it? And if so, any tips for painting flock? I'd love to do similar things for my Reaper and Werewolf…

I use Army Painter Desert Sand flock.

 

When you aplly this flock on base you can use some washes on it to mix various colours of ground.

You can paint it with black as well if you want dead ground effect or any other colour you need. Use brush, airbrush, spray, whatever you want, but before that make sure your base is dry. It's simple as it looks :)

Wow, really inspiring! I feel like finishing paining my minis when I see this :)

Also, my Knight 'leans' back a fair bit. Did yours, and if so, how did you fix it?



I rinse the bent part in hot water, forcing it the way its supposed to be using two pair of tweezers, then quickly puting it in a glas of cold water and repeating it until it stays that wat.

The minis are made of thermoplastics so they are reshapable when hot, just dont use too hot/boiling water. 

Good luck!

 

One of the few I did before time ran out and everything ended up on the shelf :/
