Adventures in Arcworlde
Ourks Starter Warband
Here’s my completed starter warband. I painted all of these models together for a more consistent look.
For the skin I tried something a little different and experimented. I painted it a deep red first then I highlighted up with caucasian skin tones. I then glazed the skin with a dark green thinned down contrast followed by on olive green glaze. I quite like the result.
The shaman was quite a complex miniature to paint with a lot going on, including some special magical effects which I’ve interpreted as a sort of glowing green smoke. I think I pulled off the smoke effect better on his gremlin familiar (the goblin below with the staff).
Although the eyes are sculpted on the miniature they are oversized and the eyeballs aren’t sculpted leaving the painter to decide on where the miniature is looking. This proved quite a challenge for me and I had to do two attempted before I was happy enough with the result.
Overall I’m quite happy with the way these came out. The gremlins (the Arcworlde name for these goblins) are very characterful and the ourks look big, mean and crazy. The miniatures are detailed enough for the fun of painting but without being over detailed to dictate everything to the painter.
I’m already looking forward to my next miniatures.
Cool paint job! ???
Thank you.
