Well, I am back painting again...slowly. There were a lot of reasons for the hiatus. One of the main ones is that quite simply, I had nothing to paint and nowhere to display it if I did.
Anyway, I was inspired lately to convert an old D&D plastic miniature I had lying around, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. With a quick visit to a Chaos Body-Chop-Shop he is ready for mayhem and murder. I did two of these monstrosities; his brother is camera-shy.
This guy was airbrushed in a simple scheme.
- Vallejo Model Color Iraqi Sand (all over)
- Vallejo Model Color Yellow Ochre (upper body)
- Vallejo Model Color Burnt Umber (spine ridges)
- Vallejo Model Color Burnt Umber mixed with German Grey (upper spine ridges)
- Vallejo Model Color Camo Black Brown (the lower legs)
|
Random bits and some chain was all it took to convert this rather boring miniature. |
After the airbrushing I used a variety of colors to drybrush the skin.
- Vallejo Model Color Buff
- Vallejo Model Color Dark Flesh
- Vallejo Model Color Camo Olive Green
|
I'm a Unicorn Tyrannosaur.....with a sword arm and tail! |
After the drybrushing I used a variety of Mig Filters to add transitions to the body.
- Brown for Sark & Desert Yellow
- Tan for Tritonal Camo
- Ochre for Light Sand
- Orange for Desert Camo
The mouth and teeth were done in a dark brown, then picked out with:
- Vallejo Model Color Violet Red
- Vallejo Model Color Magenta
- Vallejo Game Color Bone White
- Vallejo Model Color Off-White
The metallic bits were very simple:
- Vallejo Model Air Black Metallic
- Vallejo Model Air Gunmetal (wet brushed)
- Vallejo Model Air Steel (wet brushed)
- Washed in selected areas with Army Painter Dark Tone
The base is not finished yet. I need to get a 50x100 MDF base to finish him off.

Shake that ass! |
He will probably make is debut in a Warhammer Fantasy game as a Chaos Slaughterbrute.
As a footnote, this was what I had to work with.

My eyes! My eyes! How horrid!
