November has been a quiet month for my hobby. I have been busy with work and here in the UK the weather has been awful. As such, I have had a lack of natural light, which has in part slowed my painting. I began the month by painting the Sons of Velmorn from the new Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood set. This group of Grave Guard was a pleasant change from the aircraft I have been painting recently. It was also nice to complete a whole warband in a single month, something I have not achieved for a while. So, I can once again tick off 'Paint a Warhammer Underworlds warband'.

The Sons of Velmorn

With the Sons of Velmorn finished, I returned to my Aeronautica Imperialis miniatures. I had found a single Marauder Bomber in the loft some months ago. So, I set about painting this aircraft, as I have a plan for a bombing mission on my YouTube channel.



Next, I built and painted three more Xiphon Interceptors. I had bought these miniatures with my Warhammer+ voucher. I decided I wanted to paint these up as Night Lords, in part inspired by my choice of colours for the Sons of Velmorn. How I paint - Aeronautica Imperialis - Night Lords


With only nine miniatures painted in November, I really did not make much progress. I picked up the Nethermaze boxset (nine miniatures) and a box of Xiphon Interceptor (using my Warhammer+ voucher). I intend these to be the last miniatures I buy this year.


If you are interested in Aeronautica Imperialis, you might be interested in my YouTube channel (@Jon Grant Miniatures). With that I will say goodbye for now and remember 'Always Watch Your Six'.

How I paint - Gloomspite Gitz- Squigs

-
Image
When collecting Gloomspite Gitz it quickly becomes apparent that at some point you are going to paint squigs. This is my take on a classic red squig. Paints required: Wraithbone spray Khorne Red Army Painter Red Tone Averland Sunset Wazdakka Red Squig Orange Lahmian Medium Reikland Fleshwash Screamer Pink Pink Horror Pallid Wych Flesh Zandri Dust Agrax Earthshade Xereus Purple Genestealer Purple Yriel Yellow Druchii Violet .  Kantor Blue Thousand Sons Blue Ahriman Blue Temple Guard Blue . The miniatures were primed with Wraithbone spray. The scheme works over black, but you must build a nice sold layer of red at the start. This was then followed by a basecoat of Khorne Red . I thinned the Khorne Red with a little water. It took a few coats to get a nice solid finish. The miniature was then given a wash with Army Painter Red Tone thinned with a little water. The eyes were painted in with Averland Sunset .  To highlight the flesh, I began with Wazdakka Red . This was then foll...

How I Paint - Skaven - Clan Eshin

As I continue to work through the various Warhammer Underworlds warbands, I finally reached Skittershank's Clawpack. The Clawpack are a group of Clan Eshin Skaven. I decided to paint them in classic scheme of brown fur and black robes. Here is my guide.  More of my  How to paint... articles  can be found here. Undercoats The miniature was undercoated with Chaos Black spray . I then gave the whole miniature a basecoat of Mournfang Brown thinned, with water. Once the basecoat was dry, I gave the fur a very light drybrush with Karak Stone .  This may look a little harsh but the washes will fix this in a later stage. Basecoats The next main step, was to block in all the basecoats on the miniature. I began with the flesh on the nose, ears, hands and feet. This was painted with a 1:1 mix of Bugman's Glow and Cadian Fleshtone . I made sure to feather the edges between the fur and flesh on the hands and feet. The eyes were painted in with Mephiston Red.  The tail was p...

How I paint Rockgut Troggoth

-
Image
When I began painting my Rockgut Troggoths (Stone Trolls), I wanted them to look as though a flesh and blood creature had started to petrify. Most of the stone terrain in my collection is grey with a greenish tinge. This was the colour I wanted to replicate on my trolls. As I was painting my trolls, I made a note of the colours I used but I did not take any pictures, as I never intended to make a guide. After I had finished painting these miniatures, I decided to write up the method, in case I needed it again. Then, I thought I might as well share it. Paints required.
