Title: My Delgon - painted by Steve Post by: Carcharoth on December 12, 2010, 06:24:36 pm Steve painted the original Fubarnii and Devanu that I used at the first demo game a couple of years ago, and then painted up Roban and his Striders for last year's demo. Since then he's been painting up a force of Delgon for me, and it's now getting to quite a respectable size! I now just need to get him to add a few shocktroopers (once they are in production) and maybe some more standard troops...
Sorry if the photos aren't that crisp, but I had to squeeze in a photo session while Lexie was having her nap. I really like what Steve has done, and I hope you do too! ;D The whole force: (http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/Xrgut/Delgon1.jpg) Roban: (http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/Xrgut/Delgon5.jpg) The priest and his bodyguard (sorry about the focus being off...)

If that's the Roban that was at last Salute, it's the Roban that mushed both my Sempa and Kopa (or at least the demo ones ;))

Title: Re: My Delgon - painted by Steve Post by: Laughing Ferret on December 13, 2010, 09:18:32 am These look great. I love the stark contrast between the dark clothing colors and the snow bases. Has me rethinking my initial plan to not do snow bases for my future Delgon.

Excellent job Steve I also had a little smile that the colour scheme works out that well en mass Title: Re: My Delgon - painted by Steve Post by: Carcharoth on December 15, 2010, 01:17:20 pm They do look rather good en mass don't they! Looking forward to trying out the full force over Christmas, maybe with a few of my shocktroopers added for good measure :)
For me, the only thing that detracts from the overall effect is the black base trims - they do set off the individual models well but I might have to have a play with GIMP...

Thankfully we're not on Frothers so I won't answer how I had initially intended :D Nut yes, for promo shots that would be a good idea. Painting the base edges white would not be any more helpful imo Title: Re: My Delgon - painted by Steve Post by: Klute on December 16, 2010, 01:15:04 am Grabbed one of your pics and upped the gamma ;)
