I hope you all had a great New Year’s Eve and made a lot of hobby-related resolutions for 2011!
I’m back at home and finished the Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon team and Clanrat No. 20. Painting the globes was rather fun, even though my first try at painting them failed. I basecoated them with Snot Green and applied very watered down RMC Jade Green (Pegasus Jadegrün) in a random way and let it pool and dry for a cloudy pattern. I repeated this two times with Jade Green, three times with VGC Scorpy Green and two times with VGC Livery Green. Then I glazed the globes with slightly thinned Thraka Green and made the reflection with Livery Green and highlighted it with white.

The mysterious masked Stahly is the founder and mastermind of Tale of Painters. Hailing from Craftworld Germany, he has been walking the Path of the Warhammer Collector since childhood. Over the decades, he has painted multiple armies and countless warbands and miniatures. When he's not painting miniatures or working on his library of hand-painted colour swatches, he's testing the latest paints, tools and model kits with German precision and a no non-sense attitude.
The green of the warpstone/ball is really cool. Could you do a tutorial on that? I would like to apply that technique to my rats, too.
Nice fig!
Those globes are stunning – even against such beautiful painting, they really stand out. The effect gives a good sense of the bizarre nature of the technology too.
