Tats the way... Uh huh, uh huh, I like it.
Had fun with this one.
Black Templar Contrast Paint for the tats over a Bugman’s Glow and Army Painter Barbarian Flesh mix and washed with Reikland Fleshshade. Then an Army Painter Barbarian Flesh highlight. The back tat is a stylised serpent and the swirls on his left shoulder were just wild and deliberately unsymmetrical.
All the naked arms seem to look slightly “off” when connected to the body. Even if I cut the ball joint connection piece and glued it direct to the body it would still look slightly off. This arm looks like it was designed to show a person throwing the spear, but the sculpting under the arm looks so soft that it was tougher to paint.
All that said… I am still happy.
For the affordable price point, ease and variety of assembly options and overall look as an army I think it will be great to look at.
Lloyd shot FTW
Love the tattoos!
Cheers
The serpent has a bit of a likeness with one of the warriors shields.
I might try the Wyldwood instead of the Black Templar Contrast next time because a lot of tattoos fade to a brown or a green look over time rather than a deep black.
