Skaven Doomflayer Complete
Here's some pics of the finished doomflayer using the new GW paints. I've shown the ones I used at the bottom of this post. The patina finish was done with a watered down coat of Sotek Green then a smaller coat of Temple Guard Blue. I used to do this by mixing Dark Angels Green and Hawk Turquoise in the old range.
Skaven Doomflayer WIP 2
Here's the rest of the work in progress shots of my doomflayer using the new GW paints. Like I said before, I like how they work together and don't really see any big difference (apart from the selection) from the old paints.
In other news, I played a fantasy game tonight... my Orcs and Goblins against some Bretonnia knights. I brought Grimgor and 29 black orcs as the anchor of my army, and would have won if not for a mix up with a rule about the green knight. I should have killed him in the first round of combat because of his ethereal rule, but it was overlooked (I've never faced him, and it was my opponent's first time using him). Anyway, fun game otherwise, and great to be rolling some dice.

Skaven Doomflayer WIP
Here's some pics of the first model where I use only paints from the new GW range. I've had this on my desk forever and finally decided to paint it up. Is going to be lots of metallics (a little of each kind) and some standard Skaven paints.
I also finally realised the logic to the new range (I can be a little slow sometimes). If you organize your paints by the short sku (xx-xx) you'll notice that the bases are in the same colour order as the layers. For each base there are 2 layers typically, but for some there's an extra layer (for a lighter highlight) or alternate layers (for different versions of black). You'll also notice that the sets that go together are typically named after the same 40k or fantasy faction. For example, the green/blue ones are all dark eldar names. So this means that if you compare the new GW range to the reaper triad scheme you have the equivalent of a triad for each of the base paints. This might have been obvious to others, but I had to actually start using them to see exactly how it all came together.
Anyway, here's those WIP pictures.
