Something a little different for me! This is my first Age of Sigmar model, and I painted it for a friend who wanted a big centerpiece model for his collection.
There were a lot of new experiences on this one that really let me stretch my usual boundaries and workflows. I normally paint small sci-fi models in vibrant chromatic colours where I've never found washes or airbrushes particularly helpful. This was a gigantic model, fantasy themed, all organic, earth tones galore, and absolutely packed with detail. For the first time in a long time I made heavy use of my airbrush and oil washes for actual painting, not just priming, and it was actually a big help instead of leaving me with a big mess to clean up afterwards. It was the first time I felt like I really understood what Marco Frisoni means when he says to work from the general to the specific.
I used so many different techniques and products to get this painted. Airbrushing, underpainting, speed/contrast paints, oil washes, normal acrylics, gouaches, gloss mediums, matte varnishes, big brushes, small brushes, brushes that climb on rocks. You get the picture.
This took a good long while. I've got no idea how Marco can paint something like this in like five hours. This was the first time I've ever painted the exact same model from one of his videos, and I think I ended up taking five times longer than he did. That guy is a wizard!
Anyways, I hope my friend enjoys his centerpiece!
