yeah the models let your technique down here i think... also not over keen on the all red eye ( being objective) BUT love the skin and fur.

The Were-rat idea is kinda cool..

I like them. Yea, they look a bit under-parr compared to most of your other models, but that doesn't take away too much. :3

I like your werewolves.  I also own a few Reaper BONES werewolves.  I would be interested in seeing how you choose to paint yours.  You seem to know what you're doing and I would likely copy some or all of the painting techniques you use.  Best wishes.

Wow thanks!

Since you asked I'll give you a full break down of the techniques I used on these 2 miniatures so you can have a go at them for yourself when you paint your Reaper Werewolves

I'll start by saying these were one of my more lazy paint jobs, but I'll probably be using similar techniques when I get around to doing the Reaper Werewolf albeit with more attention to detail and a few more colours.

The core of all my painting techniques is the theory of building up colours on top of darker shades in at least 2 or 3 layers to produce strong colours with dark shading

First of all, as with many fantasy miniatures I started out with a technique called 'browning'. The miniature is undecorated black and then dry-brushed with 3 or 4 progressively lighter shades of brown. This picks out all the details and provides a base for shading later on.
I used Dark Flesh, Bestial Brown, Snake Bite Leather and Bubonic Brown from the Citadel Colour range, but almost any browns will do as long as they are progressively lighter than each other.

For the skin I used Formula P3 Midlund Flesh which I dry-brushed on in 2 layers and then touched up toward the centre of the bare flesh areas leaving it thinner toward the edges where they meet the fur. This was given a wash of Citadel Ogryn Flesh Wash to add shading.

The fur was given a slightly thinned coat of Citadel Codex Grey allowing the browning to show through. Fortress Grey was then dry-brushed over this to add extra highlights. Finally I used a slightly thinned wash of Devlan Mud to add shading and give the grey more warm natural tones.

The teeth and claws were picked out in Citadel Bubonic Brown, followed by Bleached Bone and finally Skull White

The eye were painted P3 Skorne Red and highlighted with Citadel Ruby Red.

The sand on the base was dry-brushed Citadel Scorched Brown and then Graveyard Earth

I think that's just about covered everything on these 2 miniatures Werewolf Miniatures, like I said in the initial post they didn't really get any special treatment, if you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Also take a look around the Forum's galleries for more of my miniatures - I normally write a paragraph or 2 about how I painted them, which you might find helpful

Ah! and since you're new here; please head on over to The Introductions Page and post a little about yourself
