Hello!
Here’s the Magos Phineus, leader of my Mechanicum warband.
After the Shiver, Phineus was asked by Archmagos Holastas to search the wasted foundations of Ib-26 in order to find what happened, what were the reasons of the cataclysm. He as been leading a choir of specialist into the drowned city for centuries now, looking for evidences.
I have to work the background a little more, but it will be linked with the story of the city.. So nothing more until i finally get things done in this area!.. But i’m happy to see this mini painted. It was the first try to make a mechanics character, and it evolved a lot since then, more than two years ago!
I put here little gifs i tried to make of the different sceneries of the city. I have to learn things in this area as well, so it’s absolutely an amateur work!.. (After seeing this, i realize one building is missing.. )
Have a nice week!
Amazing! Any tips for painting those metals? Very dark, rusted ones…
Thanks Elliot!
For the metal, i start with a chainmail-ish base. Then, i make a wash using a tip from an old white dwarf. I mix some rhinox hide and black with some white glue – the universal unctuous white thing – and some water, until i have something dark brown and a little less thick than the glue. I put it on all the mini – i actually make the base color for all the mini first – and the wipe some either with the fingers or with a wet brush, taking off here, adding on there! It take some time to dry, and there a glossy effect, but it’s fine for me. Then, i put some of this same wash, but with some red, or grey-blue, and more liquid, in some places. And after that, typhus corrosion on some places, a little bit of rust and a little of diluted nihilakh oxide in the corners.
Tell me if something’s not clear – not sure i’m using the right vocabulary Hope it helps anyway!
Cheers!
Awesome thank you!
You’re wellcome Elliot!
