Paint Recipe | How to Paint Untamed Beasts

After an eternity of painting, I have finally finished painting the Untamed Beasts warband from Warcry. And man, was that an effort. I seem to have a tendency to go for a higher standard with these sets, even if there are a bunch of chaff units in them. But, they're done, and in this post, I will show you my paint recipe for the Untamed Beasts.

WIP | Untamed Beasts Paint Scheme

November will be a relatively slow month for the Space Dinosaur, as I'm heading out for a two week adventure. I am, however, working on a couple things that should pop up either this month or in December. 

Paint Recipe: How to Paint the Chaos Furies from Warcry

Get ready for a Paint Recipe by Space Dinosaur Minis, where I go in depth with a paint scheme, covering the paints, materials and techniques that I use to achieve my style. Today I continue my coverage of the original Warcry box (that should tell you my pace of painting) and paint the 6 Chaos Furies that came included. 

Review: Space Dinosaur Miniatures 2021 and a Look Forward to 2022

Now that we're nearing the end of 2021 and we can see 2022 just off the horizon, it's time for the Space Dinosaur Minis 2021 year in review. Obviously, 2021 was another Covid year, but unlike 2020 I wasn't locked in my house the entire time, so this year there's a little bit less accomplished, but still, I think I made a good run of the year. 

Hobby Table: Iron Golems Warcry Warband

Now that the 2021 hobby is in full swing, I set my eyes on completing the full Iron Golems Warcry warband. At first I was intimidated as each model is totally unique, so it would almost be like painting 8 hero characters. With painting complete, I learned that these are actually quite easy to paint. Not only that, they may be some of my favorite sculpts out of the Age of Sigmar range.

 

Paint Recipe: How to Paint Warcry Raptoryx

The Warcry starter set (which unfortunately is no longer for sale) came with a veritable pile of goodies. Two starter armies, two sets of beasties, terrain, tokens, and game board filled the box to the brim, and I have, very slowly, been clearing out the contents of said box.

Here we have the paint recipe that I used to paint the set's Raptoryx, weird hybrids of turkey and dinosaur. They can be captured in a Warcry campaign to become a part of your warband, and in Age of Sigmar games they can be a part of a Slaves to Darkness army.

In my own home cooked lore, they aren't necessarily creatures of chaos. They live high in the mountains, and members of the various Skal tribes will capture them as part of a coming of age ritual, and mark them with metal ringlets before releasing them as proof of their deeds.

Hobby Table: The Rest of the Gloomspite Gitz

I've finished painting the rest of my little goblins using the paint scheme I covered in a previous post, and I'm pleased with how they've all turned out. In total, the Warhammer Underworlds kit comes with nine models: Zarbag himself, a squiq herder with two squigs, three shootas, a netter, and a fanatic.

Interestingly, this covers a decent chunk of a Warcry warband as well. For even more bang for your buck, they can be played as a unit in Age of Sigmar proper.

Enough background, onto the models then!
