Title: My Fubarnii - Beating the 51-week shame....
Post by: TuffSkull on May 19, 2011, 05:54:58 pm
Hi all,

After the shame that it took me 51 weeks to get around to painting a single Enuk knight after salute 2010, I've upped my game a little this year and finished off a few more pieces.  :)

C&C welcomed - they're not amazing, but they're great fun to paint :D

Unfortunately I now realise that after all my talking and purchasing at salute, I never picked up the replacement shields which was all I really intended to get on the day having totally lost mine. As such, the knights still need their defences upgraded at some point, but they'll do for now!

Very nice and vibrant colours there. If you don't mind me asking, what colours did you use for the flesh and enuks?

thanks guys :)

For the skin of the Fubarnii itself, its Citadel Vermin brown. Washed with Windsor & newton peat brown ink, then highlighted with VB again, and then a couple of layers adding in some Citadel Bleached bone.

The skin of the Enuk's is done using the citadel foundation paints, laying a couple of mixes from Orkhide shade through to Gnarloc Green. I think I added one final highlight above the gnarloc green, but I forget what I added - might have been either camo green, or back to the bleached bone... I was only painting last week.. my memory's terrible!  :-\



I should also note, I took them down to my local (Guildford) games club this week and ran a couple of demo games. Both models and rules were well received. Hope to be playing a couple more games this Monday, and spreading the twilight bug a little further  ;)

I think they look cool. Demo games? Does that mean you have some painted Devanu too?

I applaud the cohesive look of your force well done. Not so sure of the enuk skin, but it'll grow on me I'm sure... Looks a little unnatural, expected something more ... Muted.

Thumbs up!

Thanks all  :)

Unfortunately not yet. I have a Kopa and 4 grishak waiting to be done, but they're behind my engineer, another knight captain and 3 more knights. Unfortunately all of that is on hold until mid-june - I've somehow talked myself into painting 5 Giants (varying from little reaper ones, to the massive Otherworld one!) before a local gaming event, so my brushes and putty pushers are totally booked for a few weeks. I will, of course, post anything as and when I get it done!

A fair point. I wanted to see how the foundation paints worked when mixed, so used these colours on the first knight. It wasn't what I initially had in mind for them either, but I surprised myself in liking the result none the less, so it stuck! as noted, I have another unit of knights, so I might play with more skin variety in amongst them.

Thanks again for the feedback - more soon I hope  ;D
