It Figures: Winged Terror

Welcome / Bienvenu

This blog drags together, into one swirling maelstrom of crackling energy, my various wargames interests. There are links on the top right to my other blogs, each more calmly dedicated to one particular gaming universe.

I post on Fridays. The idea is that when I post a painted figure, it stays up for two weeks; a battle report, a terrain project, or a few lines on whatever happens to be the whim of the moment, is up for a week.

The pages at the top of the blog contain historical information on the periods that interest me. They are primarily an aid to my poor memory, and not meant to be in any way exhaustive, nor necessarily correct.

I hope this blog offers you much enjoyment and some inspiration !

Winged Terror

As shown in my previous post...now finished !

Not an easy paint job - the sword is huge and took a lot of work. I went for a more beaten up look on the shoulder armour, although the camera doesn't really show it here.

The wings were not the longest thing to paint. Rather than picking out every feather - I might have tried that for an angel or somesuch - I instead used a lot of glazes. The base is purple, over which is run a black glaze, then light blue highlights, with a dark blue glaze over them. Here and there are glazes of green and purple, which don't really show up on the photo, but attempt to give that sheen that you see on crows' wings.
