The Well of Souls

Like an ever flowing stream it comes, when does it end? Where could I begin? Still they came, by the hundreds, by the thousands, the teens of thousands, en masse through obliteration. Always the question, how many more? 

If you're Nagash you're hoping for billions! Oh boy what a bargain, can't beat free! 

Happy Halloween to All! What follows is a shaky attempt at documenting the the process on this base. No way around it though, deliberately applied illustrative techniques are required. Also a little corkboard.



To start off the build, andost other build ups I do, some sheets of corkboard were broken up. I also used some wizkids scenery bits and some small wooden planks from a hobby shop.


The second layer was dirt, broken chunks of putty, and a few headstones where I could fit them. I threw some liquid greenstuff down to fill the textureout a bit..it worked not so well, I'd give it a C+ but after some sadning I found a decent result.



 The Paint! 

To begin, a turquoise base.


Next, draw the entire thing..It took some practice and the first pass of this was completely fucked so although you're seeing a snapshot, this was a couple hours spent gnawing at the paint.


In this shot you can see me stepping across the pond, and it shows the process is built up in many gradual layers.


Then it was a matter of tweaking the design. Bringing brighter shades into the raised areas of the face and also creating depth with a medium blue in the recesses.



More to come, Nagash will sit upon this throne and the spectral legions will emerge, if not now, there is time. Everything dies.

Finished! Blightwinkle

Blightwinkle the Problematic and Ploppi to be precise, as named on stream. This is a special piece because it will be given away, along with 4 other items, to a lucky subscriber on my twitch channel. Twitch.tv/samsonarts. Painted up in 3 1/2 hours and I'm already building next month's giveaway. Fun!

Finished! Magore's Fiends

Skulls for the skull throne! Painted for my local buddy and owner of Flying Phoenix Games, Big Kevin. This set is done in the standard Khorne scheme and I'll be unveiling an alternate scheme in the future. Everybody wants the fiends!

Finished! Morathi the Shadow Queen

Kind of tricky to photograph but here she is in all her splendor! Done in an alternate scheme, the name escapes me at the moment but it's always a good move to deviate from the box art :)

Finished! The Lord of Malice

I was really stunned by the high quality of this cast and it's fittings. Bravo to Creature Caster for producing the best resin in the business. More to come here from them as I have a big project in the works :) Without further ado, here be the Lord!
