The World Of Twilight

Hello there!

My name is Tim and I think the last time I posted was back in 2013...

Anyway, after finally getting my finger out and sorting some proper pictures, I'd like to show off my Devanu and Grishak!

I have the following planned for my Devanu, which is a wee bit of a bumper to bulk them out.

Lastly, I have a great little Civvies Trading Convoy on the go as well (Trying Brown as my Primer for the first time)... That last additions I want for them would be a couple of Laden Belan, which I'll hopefully have a mate grab for me at Salute!

Anyway, thanks for looking. Fire away with any C&C and sorry I've taken so long to share them!

A nice haul you have there.

That is a lot of minis on your painting table (well it would be for me anyway :) ), looking forward to seeing more painted.

I like that your colouring seems to be more earthy and subtle, it gives the miniatures a different feel.

Welcome back!
Great painting there! That's a fun take on the kelahn.
I also really like how you've done the Grishak - excellent choice of colours. Shape there's only one pose of Grishak jenta...  :-[
I am feeling sorry for that caravan! The Casanii scout and Cren are good, but I don't hold out much hope for their chances... (I should do rules for a lone Enguan bodyguard...)
If you are getting a couple of laden belan then you should certainly get the new mounted trader to go with them  :)

Love the Grishak - they look great together as a horde.  That caravan doesn't stand a chance!

Got to echo everyone's comments here - particularly like the colour choices on the Grishak and the patterning or the kelahn is great.

Good looking forces. Can't wait to see what you do with the trAders, though I do hope they get some more armed guards sometime soon and it looks like they're going to need it! It took me almost a year to paint my first figures for the game, and now have something around 150done for it - there's nothing wrong with a slow start, just be careful as the slope gets steep  ;)

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments!


I'm glad you think so. It was what I was going for. Mike has always taken what I loved from The Dark Crystal, which completely warped and inspired me as a child, so I wanted to make sure my Twilight miniatures looked gritty and realistic while maintaining their charm!

As for the Grishak, they were dead easy. I use GW paints.

• Undercoat Black.
• Layout pattern on skin, I used Rakarth Flesh and Khorne Red.
• Wash everything with Agrax Earthshade.
• Very lightly dry brush with Rakarth Flesh for detail.
• Claws, beak, spines etc were then painted black before simply varnishing them for a glossy finish.
• I then picked out the eyes with a light grey, a orange iris and a small, cat like pupil.

I plan to, Mike! BTW, it's Tim Stables here, we talk occasionally on Facebook. Just in case you didn't realise.  ;D

Really nice looking minis you got there! Looking forward to see more :)

These look very good.
Like others voiced before, the Khelan and Grishak stand out and are very well done. I sure look forward to see these Devanu Matriarch and Jenta in full painted glory.

Thanks again for all the kind words, folks...

I took a break from my plethora of 40K I'm working on and rewarded myself with a lovely afternoon painting my Casanaii Scout. What a great little model this guy is. I really enjoyed painting him.

Another great job on this mini.

Been in a Twilight mood it seems. Got these two finished while finishing up the bases on some Necron Warriors.

Must have spent just short of an hour on these two. Goes to show just how much character these models have.

I've nicknamed the Jenta "Loop". Here he is with his Skerrat (Chicken-Lizard-Rat-Dog-Thing). Lovely little models.

nice job on the new models. the skerrat looks very alive to me.   :)   I also like the bases very much. the flowers add a living quality to the  whole model.

I like the extra detail and stripes you've added on your Casanii Scout, brings the model to life more. Also, in echo to what GrimSnik says about your base flowers, they're so much better than the ones I have - did you make those yourself?

More nicely painted models :)
Are they Noch tufts?

Very nice Models, the natural dark colours you used make them look almost alive. Great work on the bases too!

Thanks for the comments guys...

These are the tufts here. They come in "Seasonal" packs, with two different colours in each.

This is the link below, though I'm struggling to find what I have. I bought mine while at a gaming/modelling show up here in Glasgow.

They look good, might have to pick some up. Anyone know a good supplier in the uk?

Ohhh, yeah, I use their stuff too for my autumn trees and grass, really great stuff!

But Egg, you also get similar stuff from Noch, as Mike mentioned, and these should be sold in every model train store, I'd assume.

Ahh coolies, ta :)

Have a look in Antenocitis Workshop's Scratchbuilders Paradise, although I warn you it is a bit of a dangerous place to visit...

Oh yeah, cheers Mike :D

Where can I find the stuff Noch makes?

http://www.noch.com/ (http://www.noch.com/)

I think there should be an option somewhere to find stores close to you ;)

Thanks Slann!  :)

Here's Danakan and Muri which I finished up today. Again, lovely little models. I especially loved the detail on these. Love Danakans' staff.

They look great. Nicely done keeping the colours consistent between them, but the character of each still shows through.

very nice paint jobs.   :)   

Good stuff, have a couple of Twilight Points!  :)

(if you end up wanting to enter these models into a painting challenge in the future then we'll just knock these points off, so you won't end up doubling up or missing out (if that makes any sense at all!))

Great job bringing out all the little details on this pair.
Your bronze/gold, next to the darker colours gives them a sense of importance while also providing some Nice contrast.

I really like your paint scheme for the Grishak, I decided to use it for my own Devanu :)

Rich tones and great bases.
Congrats and keep 'em coming

Thanks again for all the comments everyone. I appreciate it!  ;D

Here's one of my favourite miniatures of all time. Still loving how quickly these models can be painted, yet they still look great.

Great work! They are coming together nicely  :)

Nicely done!

Just got around to finally painting my own elder.......a fantastic mini!   :)

Very nice. Great color selection.

Nice paint job...though I can't help shake the feeling that the green bag is smiling at me. :D

Haha, it was my first thought when I saw the Picture of his back too.

Another beautifully painted miniature and another great palette of colours.
