Fireworks...


On this 4th of July, you can't have a post that is not on fire!

These are some of the Reaper Bones figures that I will utilize as the 3 swarms which the Spider Queen can pop out at the most opportune time! :-)


All primed and ready to go...


Starting with some yellow mixed with the fluorescent yellow.


Then a bit of the fluorescent orange...


Then some 'regular' blazing orange into that mix.


A bit more of the orange...


At this point, I start using some cavalry brown.  I try to create some cooler flows in the lava stream...


Then some blue black into that mix for the bits that have cooled down the most.


Same color on top as the base for the spider swarms.


I 'damp brushed' some lighter colors onto that...


Even a little brighter, knowing that I was going to do lots of glazing later.


After the first layers of glazing.  Now I will work back into the middle tones, and get the reflected orangey light on the rock surface.  I hope you all had a Happy Fourth!!


Thundering hooves...


Time for some individual shots of the chariot and the outrunners...


This really was a fun project.  While the chariot was somewhat similar to the GW style, it was a little easier to deal with.  I also enjoyed having real horses to paint :-)


Everything fit together so well.  I didn't have to squeeze things to fit on the base at all.


I definitely wished that the Tomb Kings chariots had this much space in the howdah for the driver and crew!




And finally the outrunners.


Well, hopefully there will be much more War Gods to come!!!
