I actually really want to play the trenchers soon. So after much hesitation I started on the trencher cannon. Model wise they are a bit off. The cannon crew consists of 3 chubby guys and a rather pathetic looking cannon. They even look a bit comical on the battle field. I decided to primer them white. In order to really make them stand out. It's been 4 years since I last tried white primer. I am a reasonable painter at best and white primer seems to accentuate my worst qualities as a painter. 4 years ago it resulted in a disaster, making my long gunners look like some toddlers project. .....and NO...I will never ever post pictures of them.
I have almost finished 1 of the trencher cannon crew models and will start on the rest soon. Here is a taste of what is to come:

Looking good! My trencher cannon is also on my table, but I don't think I'll have them done before Gencon because a couple of other things have worked their way in before them (like finishing Siege!).
ReplyDeleteNice work! I like him. Looks like you are using washes for the brown colors right? That always works the best for me too on a white primer. Lots of washes, can't go wrong there :-D
ReplyDeleteJust compare these guys to the models of the Black 13. Huge difference in size. Looking good btw!
ReplyDeleteI started using some washes also and it's working out pretty fine for me. Looks are good, nice work!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see what's possible with washes, keep em coming!
I really love washes. They have changed my way of painting. And all the possitive comments I get from using washes give me the energie to paint some more. Thank you guys.
