Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been #paintingwarhammer #AdeptusTitanicus. With the Aberrants out of the way I'm looking at some of my WiPs and thinking what to do. Well that Deathwing Land Raider Redeemer is bottom of the list for sure. The Macragge Tactical Squad and Ravenwing Talonmaster are only just begun so lets ignore them too. So it must be back to the Reaver titan.
So I tried applying some Stonewall Grey. I thinned it with some Instar Water+, hoping that would prevent the complete break-up of pigment I been experiencing previously. I even used one of my bullet tipped rubber clay moulding tools to try and get the dimpled effect on the armour.
Firstly I tried it mixed with Skavenblight Dinge, you can see the lighter spots on the back [left] leg.
I just wasn't convinced though. The fade between colours wasn't there and it just wasn't feeling right to me.
I even went back to the other side of the carapace and tried to scrub out a lot of what I'd done :(
And then in comparison to my [almost completed] Warhound I discover I went much lighter on my spots/grey. I think at this point I tried to make Lahmian Medium/Stonewall Grey glaze to try and lighten the Reaver's leg. It wasn't quite there.
I'd also attempted a little of the Skavenblight Dinge/Stonewall Grey mix spots on the second Warhound.
But you can see if it's to match the original most of that will be covered up. It felt altogether frustrating.
This was not what I was hoping for. When you take into account these were all pre-shaded and light and I've effectively darkened them all and now need to redo all that light grey that was there after the priming stage!
Very frustrating. So, this did actually kill my momentum. My mojo was in the bin and I could not think of anything to do next.
I'd been so productive I'm left with very early days WiPs or, dun, dun, durrrrr! The Dark Angels Deathwing Land Raider Redeemer... 😨
