Oh the Horror(s)!

In a weird twist on the usual one or two posts and then radio silence for months... I've actually got another update or two for you already lined up!

Rounding off the Horrors part of the Silver tower box set is the remaining Pink and four Blues.

The right hand one of these Pink Horrors you saw in the last update, but the left had one features a minor adjustment to his hand and tentacles to try and vary it slightly. I suspect some of the tweaks are too small to notice, even side by side... so I'm not entirely sure why I bothered! Still. Two Pinks now done. Like the last one, this was a series of pinky purple washes over a white undercoat with some green and purple inks over the top to give it some variation in tones and show the constantly evolving nature of the beast

The Blues were done in the same manner, but using a bright blue over the white instead. I still used purple washes in the shade and on some of the features to tie them into the Pink Horrors

I'm not 100% convinced that the yellow highlights from the flames work, but still. They are weird, magical creatures... so who knows how they react

Re-opening the Tower

As I mentioned on saturday, I have actually painted some stuff over the past few months... I've just been godawful at updating here. This next batch is the start of Silver Tower, the new Warhammer Quest edition.

I never got around to painting the free Sigmarite on WD, so as this was going to be my first dive into painting for the new Warhammer universe, what better figure to start with than the Sigmarite Questor. Rather than painting him in the studio gold scheme, I opted for a dark turquoise and silver. I really liking this colour scheme, so the other Sigmarite characters will end up with the same scheme.

As Silver Tower is Tzeentch based, what better place to start than with one of the Pink Horrors?! This was actually quite a simple one to do with a series of washes over a white undercoat. We will see if I can get a similar feel on the other one when I get around to it!

A new addition to the Horror theme are these little things. We all know that when you kill a Pink, it splits into two Blues... but magic is strong within the Tower, so killing a Blue splits it into two of these sets of things. They look like fire... so fire they became. It took a couple of attempts to get these right as they were too white the first time around, but this version captures the magical essence.
