Blackstone Fortress Negavolt Cultists - TO DONE


Blackstone Fortress Negavolt Cultists

As predicted by my last post, the Negavolt Cultists are complete. Final details, a few more highlights and a bit of cleanup were all that stood between them and a good coat of matte varnish.  They are now table ready for the next adventure into the Blackstone Fortress.


Below, I tossed up a few close ups from the light box. It's a pretty stock paint job based on the GW box art. Thought painted from my own collection of paints, a mix of GW and Vallejo primarily here.  I achieved the mix of dark, dirty, with a bit of color pop for the table that I was working towards. My style trends towards muted realistic schemes over some of the more popular crisp/bright eye popping schemes out there.

Now, I'm on to the Chaos Space Marines.  Hopefully I'll have more to share later in the week.  

Stay safe out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!

The first four photos here got a bit washed out.  I'm taking short cuts on the photography and will work to improve on that in the future.

Also, I think these will look much better on the game board so I should be shooting some photos there instead of on the tired out grey photo mat.

Oddly, these close ups (in the same light box setup) came out far better color-wise. The iPhone picked them up better this way I guess. I'm also rocking a pretty old iPhone, relatively speaking. So I guess I get what I get...

Since they are mostly identical, just one set of each pose here.  If you have made it this far into the pictures, you've seen enough. :)

And I'll close with a close up.  I like to challenge myself with a close up since it exaggerates any small faults.  In this case, I can see how more and finer highlights, could add a lot of definition here.

  1. Didn't think I liked the Negavolts but the suggestion of a face on that last picture is great. The facemasks are creepy aren't they? Didn't notice that before.

    1. Yes, very creepy...almost in a Pink Floyd's The Wall kinda way if you ever watched the video.
