WIP A Griffon and His Prince

Just a couple of pictures to record painting progress

Very dynamic pose from the Griffon there

There really is nowhere to hide with these high definition photos.

Prince Althran on Griffon

Started work on Prince Althran and his Griffio, great fun. High Elves have such a clean colour scheme and (sad of me I know)


So far then:

• cleaned, built, filled and primed (skull white)
• elf flesh on the prince's face
• washed the griffon with, appropriately enough, Gryphonne Sepia
• layered burnished and shining gold on the armour
• mordian blue on the cloak
• shadow grey on the pennant
• started thinking about highlights...

Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, Keeper of Secrets, Games Workshop

This was when I realised that Daemons could be horrible and delicately painted (and female). I had real fun blending the pinks and reds - and with the quite ornate head etc bit and bobs.


Looking at the sword now - I'd do it quite differently if I had to do it again but... it doesn't feel right to go back and change too much. And visually the model works reasonably well I think.

I bought the model second hand so didn't have the option of  using the other head - that's for next time maybe.

Khorne Daemon Prince from Forgeworld

The is a Khorne Daemon Prince from Forgeworld. I bought it second hand and it didn't come with the herald.

I had great fun painting him and he was the first large scale mini I tackled. I struggled with the colour scheme before settling with what you see here, initially the skin was a lot pinker and the armour not such an intense black - but I finally plumped for these colours and with the exception of the blue on the weapon I'm quite pleased with it.

You wouldn't want to live next door to him would you? :)
