painting something nostalgic seems to be
0:01
on Trend at the moment and with the
0:03
likes of Gary Morley and Trish Garden on
0:05
our chat shows it feels only right and
0:06
proper to do something similar and what
0:08
better than one of the classic skirmish
0:10
games more time now when I was a wee lad
0:13
back in the day one of my favorite
0:14
warbands was the sisters of Sigma
0:16
sculpted by Gary Morley thank you Gary
0:19
now they got lots of time somewhere in
0:22
an attic probably in a bin hopefully not
0:23
but past peachy past peachy had the
0:26
foresight to buy an extra set from
0:28
Warhammer World which got left in my
0:30
Vault of potential so what I'm going to
0:31
do is I'm going to crack this box open
0:33
I'm going to clean the models up and
0:35
then we're going to sit and paint a
0:37
sister a sigma maybe the matriarch
0:39
because she's badass so stay with me
0:41
while I wax lyrical
0:43
I love more time it's an excellent
0:45
Skirmish game set in the old world in
0:48
which ostermart's capital is smashed to
0:49
Pieces by twin tail Comet and scatters
0:52
vast amounts of weird Stone also known
0:54
as warp Stone if you're in the note a
0:56
bright emerald green crystalline
0:58
substance that is a solidified form of
1:00
pure chaos energy kind of radioactive
1:03
sort of mutative in a way
1:05
and warbands of every ill could duke it
1:07
out to claim as much of this powerful
1:09
substance as possible also I love the
1:12
whole concept of the sisters of Sigma
1:13
warri nuns whose sole goal is to recover
1:16
the evil Rock and store it deep in the
1:18
vaults of their somehow unscathed Abbey
1:20
in the city of mordheim to keep it safe
1:22
from narrative Wells now there's plenty
1:24
of obviously other warbands out there
1:26
says witch Hunters vampires humans
1:29
beasts possessed but sisters of Sigma
1:32
they're the ones for me I also love walk
1:34
right as you may know and these will
1:36
also fit perfectly within that game
1:37
system too
1:39
win for me so with that being said I
1:41
will be basing these on round bases as
1:43
one it looks cool and two it works
1:45
nicely with both systems because more
1:47
time actually doesn't really matter
1:48
about the bass the bass is just a
1:49
mechanic to stop the models from falling
1:51
over now with our matriarch now cleaned
1:53
up and put onto a nice round base I
1:55
decided to go for a 28 mil instead of a
1:58
25 because a normal like small sisters
2:00
and the novices can go on the 25s and
2:02
the characters or Heroes can go on the
2:05
28th I'm going to undercoat a wipe and
2:07
then start painting her
2:09
so to start off we're going to be using
2:11
soul block great I'm going to place all
2:12
over mostly for the white now there's
2:14
not a lot of white on this particular
2:15
model but the others there will be but
2:17
it's really good and acts as a nice
2:18
pre-shade for some of those other colors
2:20
so I get a little bit of depth when I
2:21
apply some other colors later on
2:23
with that dry I'm now going to pick out
2:25
any blue details with a thin down coat
2:27
of medium blue I've kind of heavily
2:29
thinned it down I suppose it's like
2:30
three parts water to one part paint and
2:32
I'm just going to apply that over and as
2:34
it dries it will move away from the
2:35
edges which will give you a bit of a
2:36
highlight which helps obviously
2:38
identifying highlights later on but in
2:40
the early stages certainly for like
2:41
table top levels it's just nicely
2:44
highlighted for you then I'm going to
2:45
pick out any leathers with leather brown
2:47
again thinning these down slightly so
2:49
you get some natural highlights that's
2:50
the great thing about using a white
2:51
undercoat you can just be a little bit
2:53
more chilled send the paints down a bit
2:55
and it instantly highlights for you so
2:57
you're just picking up the boots the
2:58
belts scabbards anything that looks like
3:00
it's made in leather for the silvers
3:02
I'll be using oily Steel
3:04
walk your way around pick them out I
3:06
mean you could start off base coat in
3:07
the gold details as well first with this
3:09
and then just wait until you've decided
3:10
what's gonna be gold and what isn't and
3:12
like I said for the golds here I'm going
3:13
to be using bronze I know bronze gold
3:16
doesn't really matter I like the tone
3:17
and you can thin it down slightly and
3:19
some of that silver might pop through as
3:20
well giving you a bit of a highlight now
3:22
the weapon half again you can choose you
3:24
could be like brown black I'm going to
3:26
go for a nice red tone and here I'm
3:28
using dirty red
3:29
now I'm going to get a black knight
3:31
which is one of the deep Shades from AK
3:33
and apply this all over the metallics
3:35
the blue the leather in fact you can
3:37
apply over the hair as well without over
3:39
the whole model doesn't really matter
3:40
because I'm not actually picked out the
3:41
skin yet so you don't have to be super
3:43
neat here
3:44
and with that all dry I'm just going to
3:46
move on to picking out the skin and for
3:48
this I'm going to be using vampiric
3:49
flesh so just a couple of thin coats
3:51
just to build up a nice smooth coat
3:52
however if you wanted offer other skin
3:54
tones just check out our previous skin
3:56
tone video that will give you plenty of
3:57
choice should you want to try something
3:59
different now for a shade I'm going to
4:02
give this a human skin deep shade and go
4:04
and apply that in a few thin coats as
4:06
well now neat it can be quite pinky but
4:08
thin down you can build up a couple of
4:10
nice coats you can also add this to the
4:12
gold if you really wanted to to add some
4:14
richness to it but I'm just going to
4:16
keep it to the skin all that's left now
4:18
is to pick out any hair without
4:19
detailing lots of stages here I suggest
4:21
keeping it simple grab three contrast
4:23
colors that feel like natural hair tones
4:24
and use them across your warriors so
4:27
here I'm going to be using garrigate
4:28
syrup but you can opt for like saigle
4:30
brown agros Dunes it's entirely up to
4:31
you don't go mad with lots of colors
4:33
keep it to like three or four
4:35
with a hair done our matriarch is now
4:37
ready for the table top but do stay
4:39
tuned if you're looking to add more love
4:41
to your classic Gary Morley miniatures
4:43
we'll start by tying up the blue with
4:45
medium blue again I'm just going to keep
4:47
this into those recesses just in case
4:48
it's a bit blotchy here and there
4:49
because you will get that sometimes when
4:51
you thin it down and they'll still leave
4:52
some of those edges a little bit lighter
4:55
then I'm going to highlight with
4:56
Spectrum blue now we've already got some
4:57
highlights here from the previous
4:58
tabletop level but what I'm going to do
5:00
is use Spectrum blue because a bit
5:02
lighter use those existing highlights as
5:04
a guide but I'm going to go for more of
5:06
a jaggedy effect as opposed to smooth
5:08
clean lines this will just give the
5:09
cloth a nice tatted and worn look which
5:11
is appropriate to assist as a sigma
5:14
then use any white to tie up any white
5:16
areas they said maybe you know in case
5:18
you've got some blue on there or
5:19
whatever then for the metallics I'm
5:21
going to relayer some of those not
5:22
everywhere just on some of the raised
5:24
details so get some of the oily steel
5:25
for the silver areas and then get some
5:27
bronze for any of the bronze areas or
5:29
gold areas
5:30
and if needed especially on the silver
5:32
give a nice final highlight of silver
5:35
then I'm going to highlight all the
5:36
leather areas using a little bit of tan
5:38
Earth
5:39
for the skin I'm going to reapply using
5:41
the base layer then apply another thin
5:42
coat I've got some of my wet palettes
5:44
still so I'll just reapply that thin
5:45
coat of human skin that's just to knock
5:47
back that relayer then if you need to
5:49
just unlike noses Knuckles or whatever
5:52
or brows just highlight using that
5:54
vampiric flesh as a final highlight what
5:57
you see me doing here is using just two
5:59
colors and just building up a lot of
6:01
contrast so a bit of tightening up a bit
6:02
of a wash bit of a highlight and again
6:04
it just builds up those layers
6:06
now I'm going to focus on some details
6:08
on the faces which are going to be the
6:09
eyes now there's a few options for
6:11
painting eyes option one is to paint the
6:14
eyes black so I'll do that on both eyes
6:15
anyway because that's how I'll start
6:16
both of them and then I'm going to get a
6:18
bit of white thin it down so it's not
6:20
going to dry too quickly and then all
6:22
you need to do is just do a DOT of white
6:24
on either side of the eye so what you're
6:27
leaving is a nice little black void in
6:29
the middle which connected your eyeball
6:31
two again starting with a black base
6:34
coat you get a little bit of white you
6:36
do a little white strip for the eyeball
6:38
or a white oval if you prefer and then
6:40
you just do a black dot in the center
6:42
warning though this can sometimes lead
6:44
to the eyes looking a little bit offset
6:45
if you're not careful so just be mindful
6:47
of that
6:48
now with the model pretty much finished
6:49
I decided I need a little bit more blue
6:50
on it and that was on the shield so I'm
6:52
just gonna get some medium blue this is
6:54
pretty much neat I'm not thinning it
6:55
down that much I'm just going to apply
6:56
it to the shield but I'm not going to go
6:57
all the way to the edges because I want
6:59
it to look beaten and chipped then what
7:01
we're going to do now is move on to
7:02
basing our matriarch
7:04
for our base I'm going to start off with
7:06
concrete so I'm going to get a couple of
7:08
splodges and then I'm going to add a bit
7:09
of water so I can just have a bit more
7:11
control as I get closer to the feet and
7:13
then just add more thicker splodges once
7:15
I've done that just got your way around
7:17
and the idea for this is just to avoid
7:18
it like big thick splodges near the feet
7:20
and then you're literally just going
7:22
over everything you painted
7:24
with that all dry I'm gonna get some
7:25
light clay and add some neat patches
7:27
here and there and I'm going to get some
7:29
thinner and then just drop that around
7:30
just add a bit more variety to that
7:33
actual finish so you can add a bit more
7:35
light clay if you needed to if you like
7:36
some areas to be a bit darker or just
7:38
thin it down
7:39
for the rims I'm just going to get
7:40
standard steel Legion drab and paint
7:42
that around the rims and then I'll just
7:44
get a couple of grass Tufts and stick
7:45
them on the edge I know some people out
7:48
there saying why don't you do it goblin
7:49
Green peachy
7:50
I wanted to time with the rest of my
7:52
stuff sorry
7:54
so there we are I've done a matriarch
7:57
weirdly it's what I don't know why it's
7:59
one of my favorite figures in the set
8:00
there's loads of cool figures I'm going
8:02
to paint the rest and get them all done
8:03
as well for war cry more time get back
8:05
into playing more time that'll be good
8:06
more more time more often but just
8:09
painting the model itself just made me
8:11
feel younger I was starting to think
8:12
about all the times when I sat at my
8:14
table with my dad painting it just felt
8:16
so good it's just sitting there and I
8:17
think you know as a hobbyist every now
8:19
and again it's nice just to go back and
8:22
paint something that you remember doing
8:23
during your childhood or whatever
8:25
because it just gives you just nice
8:27
Buzzy good wholesome feelings and stuff
8:30
so I really enjoyed it it was really
8:32
nice just painting old metal models that
8:35
maybe nowadays can be taken for granted
8:37
because they're all sculpted to that
8:39
scale whereas you know there's lots of
8:40
like cool digital plastic kits out there
8:43
that are very super detailed I just
8:45
found it really relaxing really nice and
8:47
yeah
8:48
um just doing that again was was a good
8:51
was a good feeling I'm gonna get the
8:53
rest painted up I'm definitely the the
8:55
scheme itself is actually matching my
8:57
hello Guild and my current CIS as a
9:00
sigma stuff that I've done for war cry
9:02
as well so they'll fit in nicely with
9:04
that collection too and the basing works
9:06
as well so I hope you enjoyed watching
