Painting Circle, Construct Test Models

I had a little bit of time today to work on some test models for my Circle army. I figured I'd do the traditional "gray stone" look for the constructs, and since there are many constructs in my list, I wanted to make sure I would like not only the look of the final piece before painting the other models, but also make sure that the process would be a relatively simple one. Fortunately for me, I was pleased on both counts...

First is one of the shifting stones...

With this model I also wanted to test what sort of flock I would use, as well as what color I would paint the base. I can't remember where I heard this tip, but someone on their blog somewhere had mentioned using P3 Mixing Medium as glue for the base, and it worked marvelously! I used a mixture of different stone ballast that I've collected over time followed by some static grass over the top.

Next model I tried was the Woldwyrd. Here's the front...

...and the Woldwyrd back...

So I liked the stone look and technique (a layering of three different shades of gray and some black washing) enough to try it on something a little larger. But with the Wolds I knew I would have to come up with an effective way of doing all the bundled branches. All I can say is Rucksack Tan and Bootstrap Leather are going to become my best friends as I work on my other models. I was quite pleased with how this all turned out.

Next up, painting the Woldwatcher!
