The World Of Twilight

I've been distracted by painting for a job application, but work is in progress on some much needed Delgon specialists and command pieces.

Really nice minis, keep going! We all want to see more :)

Love the colour palette you've used.

those look great!  :D  the priests and acolytes stand out nicely.

I like these a lot! You're making good progress at your usual high standard.
Beautiful work.

Lovely tonal work on those - they really seem to pop! I've not seen many obal's yet so that's a bit of a treat :)

I'm digging the moody green you've used on these ladies, adds colour but toned nicely. :)

Thanks all - glad you like them :) had hoped to get proper photos all done up today, but time has totally disappeared this weekend. More painted though - these are all complete now, and I've done another 3 striders as well. This challenge has really given me the extra incentive to stick with my massive WoT backlog  ;D

A productive Sunday night...
These guys are finished

Decent pictures before the end of the month of everything, but just to prove details were added to the earlier posted command models....

And then I accidentally started these.... "Whoops" and all that....

Nice progress! I love what you have done with Obal, great job, but your striders look great too.

nice work. the striders look great and details on Gohral  (  ;D  ) really pop.

Yet more lovely work, the freehand text looks spot on.

Very good freehand on Gohral! (I feel bad being picky but Obal is the pointing one in the first photo :) ).
Striders look great as well - nice use of red on the veterans helmet! I like how you've used the red across the force. :)
Engu next! Excellent! I think that'll be the first full force I've seen painted.

Looking great  :)

Excellent work! ;D

Thanks all!! Really enjoying the incentive of the challenge.

The Engu are here. Not entirely happy with the pet, but I've never had a clear idea of what I want to do with that piece  :-\

As usual, please excuse the dodgey ipad photo until I get a chance to do proper ones next weekend! Can't really be seen here, but like someone mentioned on Serins' post, they have a definite Native American feel to their dress, and I went ahead and did a little simple geometric dot patterning on the main guys tabard - couldn't resist! 

holy smokes you finished those fast!!  :D  they look awesome. you've certainly set the tone for painting discipline and follow through.   ;)

They look great, but I think they would have looked even better with an appropriate base. Like the wooden deck of a ship for example.
The Tahela looks a bit too blue, perhaps you can drybrush his mane with white.
Just my opinion though.
Their clothing looks superb by the way.

You're sure blasting through these, the only thing I'd say is that the bases look to 'warm' especially as they're wearing furs and the furry one is blue and usually this would offer some form of camouflage.  Don't get me wrong though, cracking job on them.

Thanks for the CC guys.

I've decided that all my WoT minis are being based the same, for all the races, so they don't look disjointed in larger games acting as allies and such (and so the beasts can operate with any force). However, that does lead me to the issues you point out which were present on the delgon, but far more so here - these guys are designed for harsher climates!  :-\

As I said, I've never been clear in my mind with the Telahn, and ended up with just a slightly greyer version than joe's studio paint job. I thus did the Engu's main furs to match.

Mike - is there any premise for the Telahn having cousins in the warmer climbs, coloured more like wolves or some such? I.e. Could I get away with changing them to yet more browns, like I did the skerrats?

Really appreciate your input guys - many thanks!  :)

Whilst, as explained above, this will not be happening for my combat forces, I really like this idea for a single piece..... Especially since I subscribe to the sprockets world blog who's currently working on this.....

Now, I'll never be anything like as good as Dave is at display pieces, but doing a one off Enugan captain in a piece like this could be a lot of fun!!

Fair enough ;).
This was just the first time the base bothered me on your miniatures.
Probably because of the same reason Crucium Giger mentioned.
I still think they look very good though.
Visually they are my least favorite faction, but you painted them in such a way they suddenly became very appealing.

Love your Engu, now I'm a bit sad I didn't get them for myself.

Also I agree on the incentive of the challenge, really helps someone paint more ;)

A little deadline always helps with minis ;)

Great Engu - good subdued colours. I agree with you, Tuffskull about the bases. All of my bases for the different races are pretty consistent and I have not really gone for specialised bases for different clans, etc.

Slann - you're earning a fair few twilight points through the challenge yourself, so maybe put them towards an Engu force :)

Looks like my challenge will have to remain as it stands, crummy ipad photos and all, for February. Delgon specialists, delgon striders and Engu force - does that count as two large and one small???  ;D

I'll get better pics sorted tomorrow!

Certainly gets you your 5 points  ;D
Maybe I can take some photos tonight?
