Fantabulous work Onyx! Particularly love what you’ve done with your titans
I’ve just come across and read this whole thread today, whilst rebasing and sorting through my armies.
I love the great use of the ink washes to get the naturalistic effect. How do you find the woodland scenics washes compare to the GW inks? Do you think they’re better? You mentioned them not looking so shiny I think at one point, but would you say the effect is still noticeable once GW ink has been given a coat of testors dullcote?
I’ve never tried lighting effects myself yet (though I plan to in future on a particularly weird and chaotic War Altar of Tzeentch I have conceptualised), but to my eye it might look a little better if a little of the blue glow were on the topside too – on the ridge of the metal surrounding the plasma bit.
How do you do the blue areas on your titans? Is it just blue, dry-brushed metal (and white?) and then washed black? Do you wash just the blue or paint everything and wash the whole lot at once?
You might have seen it already, but if not check out here for a truly stunning example of lighting effects by Golden Demon winner Victoria Lamb:
