Copperhead Clan

Finished Product

Honestly it's been 2 years since I finished these guys, so I can't say to much about how I did them. I know I was getting more into Citadel paints at the time, and I was just starting to work with basing upgrades as well.

Something I need to do more.

Influences

I remember at the time I was playing Horizon: Forbidden West. I liked how the Carja red and yellows worked with their copper city. I wanted the impression of sunbaked warriors.

Pot Grot Front

I made the Pot Grot for the Ork Shaman in a similar way, though the Orks quickly go back to being the Swamp energy of the Kruel Boyz, so I made his vest the identifying red.

Pot Grot Back

This was my first work on bottles and a variety of tools. Some got a little tainted by tide marks, but overall I'm happy with it.

Current Work in Progress

Before I even started thinking about making a run at competition level painting, I had picked up and Age of Sigmar Dominion pack which includes some Orrucks and Stormcast Eternals.

I picked these up due to them being at a pretty steep discount and generally having always been interested in the game. My sister had gotta involved with 40k years before and while I was always vaguely interested in playing, the price point and time consideration was too high.

At this point I wasn't painting anything and so I let the idea go.

But during the pandemic, I figured I would paint a few minis for Dungeons and Dragons. I was feeling pretty crafty with the lockdowns.

Hobby to Passion

Now listen, I understand how mini painting is not exactly everyone's idea of a good time or even their idea of art. But something clicked and I've never wanted to stop, I've always been artistically inclined, but I never had the talent to be undisciplined, and never been disciplined enough to be thought of as talented.

Now with 2 years of unfocused DnD painting at my back, why not revisit that strange little hobby my Sister was into?

Before I even began to crack into having a wave of grey, I knew I wanted to do more. Do bigger. Do better.

So please; follow along my journey and the painting of the Copperhead Clan.

First attempt as modifying: Meet Janus
