| Orcs of the Behemoth Two Trackers and Kolghor |
I decided on the right-sized and right-motivated project to work on for Adepticon. I never had the opportunity to actually play a game of Confrontation, despite shouting from the rooftops forever, applauding Rackham miniatures. So I'm finally composing a 200-point list to line up some pick-up games and learn the rules.
There's actually a Confrontation tournament scheduled for Adepticon, but I'm not a fan of tournament formats, and it would consume too much time, and it would conflict with one of the painting seminars that I signed up for. Still, I hope to meet some Confrontation players and kibitz with fellow Rackham fans, since it's a rare occurrence to gather them from across the country into one location.
This WIP shows the "color-sketching" stage. I'm really pleased with the direction they've gone. I've been trying to get my head around this style for a long time. There's still a lot of refinement to do.
I have three more models waiting in the wings, already color-sketched.
Those colors work really well together. I love the crossbowman on the right. The purple with greenish yellow fringe looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John!
DeleteI like different aspects of each model, but, overall, I think Kolghor is my favorite. I was torn whether to paint the toad on his shoulder that orange-yellow blend or whether to paint it a bright yellow-green combination. I think either would have worked, but when I see him beside the other models, I like how the orange connects to the colors on the rest of the crew.
Ooooh I can't wait to see these Mike! I didn't know you had some orks in the queue!!!! WOOT!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg! I'll be working on them in the Hangout. Drop on by this week.
DeleteLooking good man! .. I'm really liking the leather work, very realistic feel.
