I finished most of the work on Reznik. I still have to do a few highlights but that will come later. I’m still having trouble with blacks. Getting highlights just right is becoming more difficult. I need to work on mixing my highlight colors and blending but I’m happy with my results. Shading is getting easier and I’m seeing an improvement in my technique. I still have a lot to learn. I will be starting on the horses next and then the wracks hopefully.

With the TFG finished it’s time to put Reznik 2 on deck. I finished clipping some flash and mold lines, and I finished washing him with some soap. Next up, I need to prime pieces and start painting. Going to start with Reznik and then start on the horses and chariot.

I finally finished painting my Temple Flameguard! I’m excited to start working on Reznik 2. I was going to paint Harbinger of Menoth next but I decided to add on her other cloths. Let me know what you guys think.

I just finished painting my last Temple Flameguard model but I still need to finish some of their shields. I also need to finish painting their bases but that should take an hour or two. I have been putting this unit off for two years and they are almost finished.
After I finish the TFG most of my focus will be on Harbinger and Reznik 2. Since Harbinger is already prepped and primed, I decided to work on Reznik 2. The model has some mold lines and flash but it’s easy to clean up. I like working with resin more than metal. He looks challenging to assemble but I’m sure I can get it done.

Finished some prep on my officer and standard bearer and started painting the last two models for the main unit. I’m almost done with my last grunt and unit leader, need to do a wash and finish up the bases. The grunt came off his base, so that will need to be attached before I finish some dry brushing.
These models should be done by this week, hopefully.

After finishing Tristan Durant I needed a new project to work on. I wanted to start on Reznik 2 but it seemed like a huge task. Since Anson Durst will be out soon, I decided to finish my Temple Flameguard unit and unit attachment. I’ve finished two models so far and I’m working on them three at a time. Should be finished with them in two weeks if not earlier. The WIP picture shows my current color scheme which is close to the studio.

After weeks of work Tristan is finally finished. I’m happy with this model even though I tried out some new techniques on him. I still need more practice with wet blending and metals which is good since I have more models to paint. I’m currently working on a full unit of Temple Flame Guard and the unit attachment which I will post next week. I will post some pictures below, let me know what you think!

An artist that I’m starting to follow is Ashton Holbrook, the artist behind Red Modeling Painting. His YouTube tutorials and videos are very informative and have helped me understand many painting techniques. He does a great two brush blending tutorial on the pEyriss video below:

I managed to get some painting done over the weekend. Added some metallics and some highlights to the black robe. Will add more highlights to armor and metals. Did some highlights and washes on the base as well. Need to do some final dry brushing and clean up the boots. I’m trying out new techniques on this model and hopefully it comes out better than my last model that I painted.
