Hmm, unfortunately last Friday's efforts have come out a tad dark, whilst Sunday's efforts are a bit washed out from the bright sunlight!  :-<

Bison and hyenas get a dark brown over-brush:


As everyone knows, extinct North American hyenas were golden, as were mans' earliest best friends on the continent...


Heavy light-brown dry-brush on the tigers, who are fast evolving into plains lions  ;)


Lighter dry-brush on Techno's elephants and the bison:


Irregular's medium beasties. Who knew that infant giant mastodon were very wooly and extremely GINGER whilst adolescent ones were bald and grey!  The camel got a nice, heavy overbrush of light-brown:


Various washes on the small Irregular beasties:


Last, but not least, collars and cuffs on the mastodons:
 

A little something for the weekend madams?


Apart from needing to sort out horns, tusks and eyes these are mostly done I think.  Then comes he tricky bit, basing...

:-\

Nicely done!

Surely you just stick them all in the freezer twelve hours before the game?

Bought these up at Warfare to use for fire tokens in Tusk:


I figured octagonal ones would work best with a compass d8.

Picked this up yesterday at Lidl:


Spludge of raw umber craft paint and I was good to go:



Not entirely sure about the result.

I keep forgetting how small 10mm figures are so the grains in the paste come up rather large. Also I probably over diluted it with paint so they are rather sparsely distributed across the surface.

Anyway, I'm sure with a dry-brush and a load of flock they'll come up fine.

I also decided to use the excess mixture for some pit edgings. Not a great success due to the over-dilution, but I'll have another go with the raw paste and paint them afterwards.

Cheers,

Meirion

Managed to get the dry-brushing done, but building two scooters for my twins scuppered my flocking!



I have a plan for the pits!  8)

Inspired by Lemmy, I've managed a spot of cracking on with my Dark Elf horde, so here's progress so far:

Primed:


Sprayed black then overbrushed dark grey:


Slashed sleeves and house, hair and faces overbrushed white:



Unfortunately one of my second base of raptor riders have suffered from a lancetastrophy, so will be needing a spot of green-stuff to get him fully erect again  :-< but in the meantime:


I painted the competition entries pre-stuck to the base, but found it a bit cramped for these chaps, so have reverted to lolly-sticks and double-tape!
