The guide for the Hobgrot Slittaz is up! Check it out here:
The text guide is also live here.
I'm buyeroftheblade, and I paint minis. "buyeroftheblade" comes from a Leslie Fish song. I was looking for a title for my channel and was reminded of "One Last Blade." I found a midi for my intro and the rest was history.
Just finished the tester models for my Hobgrot Slittaz. This was my first time trying this super-saturated effect, and I think it turned out well. I was trying to paint these a little faster (I do have 17 more, after all), and get some nice contrast for the table. I think it went well, I'm brainstorming some modifications for when I paint the remaining models in the unit.
Video tutorial coming soon! I wanted to get it done for the new year, but work and holiday celebrations got in the way. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks!
Happy holidays to everyone! This Christmas, I decided to treat myself to an old AoS Dominion box that has been languishing in my local game store for years. I was planning to cover some Kill Teams for my first few videos (you may have seen my Hierotek Circle scheme already), but the Kruleboyz in the box have really captured me. I already have Orks for 40K, but I'm always eager to paint some more!
I want to really push the contrast on these minis to make them pop on the tabletop - my goal is to get a very saturated effect. I like the idea of the Orruks proper being stealthy guerrilla fighters in drab colors while the Hobgrots are a bright yellow-green to distract their opponents and draw fire (about the only thing grots are good for!) Look out for a super-saturated Hobgrot Slittaz tutorial in the next few weeks, followed by some Gutrippaz with bright shields.
