This guy fills a hole in my painted collection: an evil wizard. I didn't have one, though I have lots of evil fighter and cleric types.

Half-orcs have always been one of my favorite D&D races, so I make a habit of collecting all their figs in the Reaper line. I wanted to give this guy blue armor just to do something different. I'm really happy with how the yellow scarf came out. I'm using the Reaper master paints yellow triad, and it worked out well.
What color primer did you start off with? I have a hella time with yellow over black. Surpringly enough, the foundation yellow from GW makes a good base over black to then do highlighting/shading.
ReplyDeleteAnd no evil wizards? Not even necromancers? For shame.
Very nice wizard. The sigil on the orc's tabard looks nice too.
ReplyDeleteJoe, to get yellow over black, try putting a base of brown over the black and then do the yellow. Even a dark brown seems to make yellow go on better.
Or try a non black primer. :)
My last few have actually been done up in Armory Gray Primer. Going through the supplies as I get to them. Some, like the Mordenhim dipped figs I've just been giving a Chaos Black undercoat.
ReplyDeleteI use a white primer, though I occasionally use black (the Partha fighter was primed black).
ReplyDeleteThe biggest issue I have with yellow is that I'm bad at staying inside the lines, so I always end up with splotches of other colors on it.
Love the evil Wizard. For a guy who GMs alot, evil wizard is a pretty important base to cover! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat ... no ambiguously moral dilemnas for you?
