Well, this is good times ahead, acctually finishing a project I started! (In March.......) My Protectorate of Menoth Repenter is done! Since I did the prudent thing and actually somewhat kept photo documentation of the painting process I'll hand out the highlights. And now, you one to two enraptured readers, BRING ON THE FIRE.
Basecolours laid down, several thinned layers of Menoth White Base forms the "body" of the miniature (Ah Formula P3 paints, how I love thee. Privateer Press line of paint is quite decent.). Brown as a basecoat for the gold and Formula P3 Pig Iron for the steel bits.
The reworked flail in action. Acctually most of the arm had to be rebuilt to change the pose properly, and make it look better,
And then we come to the hot stuff (I can almost hear the groans now), the flame. The flame was slathered with a thinned down Sunburst Yellow from the old Citadel paint line. Several layers needed. The important bit here was not total coverage, but a need to fill the recesses to make the base of the fire that will be gradually built up from here on (no guide will be in this post though. Mainly since there are better guides out there than I can provide).
After the second stage of white is laid down, Menoth White Highlight with a drop or two of Morrow White blended into it at the end to create the final highlight and complete the white part. The rest of the miniature got completed after this photo. The final pose of the miniature is also visible in this photo. Like the flail-bearing arm, the flamethrower-wielding arm had to be rebuilt some as well.
And below, three pictures of the completed Repenter. The photos are lacking, mainly since I shot them early morning on my balcony without a lightbox or any kind of set-up. I do think the flame turned out fairly decent tho!
Also, no worries. The flame arm is removable to aid in gaming.
