Last night, possibly 5 or 6 years since buying some of them, I finally got around to building every Twilight mini I have from out of their little baggies!

There has even been a "flurry" of painting lately......forgot how much fun the mini's were!

:) Congratulations!
I hope it won't be to long before we can see them in their painted glory.

Might show some off soon......  8)

At the moment I'm loving the break from the norm and painting some brighter colours than usual  ;D

Also loving how I chose to do the bases.......think "old skool Rackham"

Liking your use of colour on all of these - choices I would t dare to make have been proven to work very well indeed!
My one comment would be that it does somewhat appear that engineer Beru is wearing gloves made from the skin Of his apprentice......  :o


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: darth tater on May 02, 2016, 11:53:12 pm
Thanks dude  :)

The gloves are a different colour......hmmmmm.......

In terms of being "colourful" my favourites are still to come........   8)

Post by: GrimSnik on May 03, 2016, 12:13:42 pm
these all look awesome!    :)   ;)   I like the vibrant colors and the my favorites are the trading group and the Erillai. I also particularly like the elder and your bases. what is the green material that covers the majority of the base? I can't quite make out if it is some kind of flocking, or if it is a painted gravel? 


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: darth tater on May 03, 2016, 12:25:11 pm
Thanks dude :)

They look so much better and more colourful in real life.....when I started re-working these I decided I wanted this game to look bright and fun, with lots of bright colours I don't generally use!

I originally painted my Fubarnii with various shades of brown skin....which just wasn't cutting the mustard for my new brief - hence the "possibly controversial" decision to go blue:

Empire - various shades of blue (mainly light) with Orel more turquoise and Engu (if i do them) a dark blue
Delgon - purple
Dhoghu - grey
Casanii - warlock purple (old paint lol)

 8)

Bases also needed to look brighter than usual so decided I wanted a similar look to old school Rackham confrontation bases....

sand painted green, with a light drybrushing of yellow and cork rocks painted grey.  Base ring is also painted a dark green.
To make more modern I added a few tufts of grass and flowers :)

I like em!

Managed to finish off this knight last night.....the idea is all of my "Imperial knights" will have bone white colour armour

Well the photos were worth waiting for, some interesting colour selection that really works and they are all finished off very nicely (basing etc).  I'm looking forward to seeing more now!

I think everyone is getting bored of my pics now......  :o :-\

But in case you're not here's possibly my favourite mini's so far..........

(http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h406/darth_tater77/World%20of%20Twilight/20160502_201140-1.jpg)

I do love their colours!   ;D

Post by: TuffSkull on May 04, 2016, 06:40:33 pm
Trust me, there's no such thing as too many pics of painted minis.

And those Graku are brilliant! The rest are looking good too, but the colour action of the Graku is top rate,


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....

Don't worry! Not getting bored yet  ;D
Keep up the good work!

You can never get bored of nicely painted miniatures so keep them coming.

For the last of my available pics I present the start of my Casanii

Fantastic miniatures....so well done Mike!  :)


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: darth tater on May 05, 2016, 01:59:50 pm
oops......one more  ;D

(http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h406/darth_tater77/World%20of%20Twilight/20160502_201654-1.jpg)

My other half likes how I've done the Casanii, apparently they remind her of the Na'vi from Avatar  8)

That makes 23 miniatures completed for Twilight since the 23rd April, which is pretty awesome!  Hopefully I can maintain the momentum as there's still a few
left to finish........  ::)

Looking at grabbing more creatures though, as I'm loving the colours I can do them, and also really fancy a noble and guards as I could have some serious fun
with some truly gaudy colours and patterns!   ;D

Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: GrimSnik on May 05, 2016, 02:41:18 pm
the Casanii look great.  :)    I especially like the vibrancy of the yellow as the primary color. I find that yellow is not an easy color to use so seeing it really stand out is very cool.


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: Letchaï on May 05, 2016, 07:17:53 pm
Waow, it's a bold choice for the skins, but it works !

You've painted in 3 weeks as much minis as me in 3 years ^^


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: Belegar on May 05, 2016, 10:34:54 pm
You are going fast!!
I like your colour choices at the Casanii.
Keep it up! :)

There will be, as soon as I've got the Kickstarter delivered! Stuff painted before then will count though :)

I saw these when they were posts and was sure I'd commented at the time, but apparently not - they're brilliant. Again, colour choices I would never have dreamed of, but you sure do make them work well. Great inspiration. Reminds me of one of the regular GW painters who always astounded me- George Delaphini or something like that - he was (is) colour blind, and painted in combinations you wouldn't believe, but the tonal choices were spot on and worked great on alien races, just like you've achieved here.


Title: Re: Achievement unlocked.....
Post by: darth tater on May 13, 2016, 01:05:22 pm
Thanks dude :)

the pics really are quite pants though.....and the minis look so much better in the flesh!

So last night I was supposed to crack on with the Casanii ready for the Twilight day and I got around to doing the skin on the 7 remaining......then I picked up other figures......

Somehow I stopped at 1am but had finished a Devanu Sempa, a Delgon Priest and Gil Masharl  ::)

as the chief teaser pics will follow.....soonish......
