Showcase Me!: Flesh-eater Courts

Stars, hide your fires!

Let not light see my black

and deep desires.

- Macbeth

    Hello friends! Today I'm here to share with you a full army in showcase: Flesh-eater Courts! They are the first project I fully did with an airbrush, and I'm quite pleased with how they have turned out. I was inspired by one of my favourite miniatures painting studios of all time, Thirdeyenuke, and I tried to reproduce, in my limited experience, their sharp style adding something from my own. The painting scheme plays on a vivid dark/light contrast, acting as a metaphor of their tormented souls too. 

    I have to say that I started painting them in a more orthodox way when, completely out of the blue, I changed my mind and decided to put my airbrush skill to the test, making everything that way.

   I can't conceal that I did the whole thing in a very short time because of the desire to deploy it on the field as soon as possible, and that I paid less attention than usual (especially when I reached 80 ghouls done) in the painting process but the result, in its entirety, was very satisfying.
    Have a look at my Flesh-eater Courts ghouls tutorial to have an idea of how they were made.
    Now... straight on to the whole showcased army!

How I did it: Adeptus Mechanicus VTOL APC "Chauliodus" - part II

- For forty years, your fathers before you and your older brothers played this game and played it well. But today the game is different. We have the advantage. -

Once completed the construction of the "Chauliodus", I had to fall into the same abyss and start thinking about how to adapt the subject to my love for oxidation. Since I'm not painting a land vehicle, I'd have to revise my standard technique a bit to maintain a reasonable level of plausibility.
