Smartphone image of all the different parts of the 'Apollon, God of Sun' piece that has been painted since Nov 2024, including the newly built and primed plinth. These parts are, two horses, the character model Apollon with red cloak and the mechanical part of the chariot on the plinth (25x15cm in base size) The paintjob is overall mostly done in blue-ish steel nmm and brass nmm, as well as red details and plenty of multi-colored space themed freehand, which is primarily found on the horses and cloak.

WIP photography of "Apollon, god of sun", which is part of the chariot figure sold by Kimera Models under the same name. So far on this work-in-progress state, it's painted with desaturated dark red skin, shiny light grey metal armor with blue and purple color influences within the NMM and a green orb at the center of the open stomach cavity, which is painted with different spiral-shapes. The orb is painted to appear as emitting light in the same colors, primarily hitting the inner walls of said cavity as well as the openings of the armors chest plate. Additionally, the figure is wielding a flaming sword with bright yellow core color, blended into pink and purple before reaching the edges of the flame, which are green and blue. Some small spikey details as well as the decorative structures attached to Apollons back are sketched to appear as a brass nmm. The cloak is saturated red but being blended into space themed freehand. It's photographed in front of neutral grey background and features a small sized low opacity version of the CryoCheese icon in the bottom left corner.

I decided to bring back the space theme on the cloak, letting the bright red fabric blend into the black and freehanded starscape with some planets and galaxies.

It's not finished yet, but I'm already loving this 😊

A four-image WIP photo collage of just the cloak that will be attached to Apollon. It is painted in saturated red and blended into space themed freehand, by transitioning the brushstroke highlights into more and more stippled texture around the same line where red turns to black in terms of color. This effect will hopefully work quite well with the overall piece that features this type of space freehand in some other parts, like the horses bodies and chariot wheels. The photography was taken in front of neutral grey background and features a small sized low opacity version of the CryoCheese icon in the bottom left corner.

WIP picture of the heavily reposed Argel Tal I've been building and painting. The original model kit is produced and sold by Games Workshop / Forgeworld. The paintjob is held close to lore-accurate depictions following a "Horus Heresy Legions" card art (seen in another image within this post, which features a lot of saturated reds, with slightly orange leaning highlights and horns being black towards the tips with some fleshy mid tones in the blend toward those black ranges. The Eye lenses of the helmet, as well as the daemonic eyes on pauldron and thigh, are mainly greenwith a blend into yellow toward the center. The spear arm is painted in brown and beige hues, with fine vein details, stippled magenta details to create a sort of sore flesh and black, sharp-looking claws. The serrated sun sigill on the chest as well as the first steel nmm bits of the armor ar painted as such with greys and white.

Painted LOTS of bright red on Argel Tals armor.

Maybe too bright and saturated for Word Bearer colors, but that can be sorted too :)

Either way, very happy with the progress!

This is what a weeks worth of time-efficient NMM sketching looks like (well, the parts I painted since last weeks update post)

Only 2, in some spots 3 tones placed on all these armor and decor segments based on the light situation without further refinement.

WHOOPS, forgot to post this update from saturday for some days too many.

I've done my best to paint the sculpted arm I did in a way that lets it blend in with the rest of the figure. Might tweak it but it's on a good way I think.

Calling the Lord of Poxes cautionously finished!

A difficult, very busy, model for me, but after initial struggles I think I did an okay job.

#WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings #horusheresy
Lord of Poxes frontal view, the tubes and leather have a light glossy effect! Lord of Poxes back view, I think the sword is the best part of the model and I tried my best at some okayish highlighting it. Lord of Poxes, side profile - very odd due to how unsteady of a shape language he has!

A miniature car isn't found on the streets, a miniature human can't drink or drive, a miniature bust is a small type of bust.

Why are we walling ourselves off from other forms of art through terminology?

Why not use "tabletop figures" or "gaming figures" and use "miniatures" as collective term?
cryocheese.bsky.social
CryoCheese @cryocheese.bsky.social · 16d
Yeah, I'm on the other end of this topic.

I get that and how the term miniature is often used almost synonymously for tabletop figures, but it'll always irk me to some extent.

The word miniature has so much versatility, that it feels off to insist on only using it for that specific type of figure.
