Ironback Spitter Painted

Ironback spitter is done!

I painted him up as part of my entry into the "Point per day" Warmachine and Hordes painting group on FB (you can find it here)

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the release of Hordes the theme this month is to paint a Hordes battle group.

Owning a Minions army with a lot of it being unpainted it seemed like a great opportunity to work through the backlog!  

I found this to be a relatively quick model to paint as I have already painted one before, so I didn't have to deal with choice paralysis when picking colours.  

The other one is poses with arms open wide so I went with a closer pose this time.

I also wanted to do something a little exciting so I cracked out the water effects and made a swamp base. Also adding a bunch of different plants to make it look as realistic as possible.

I did run into a problem of the water effects going really cloudy and milky looking. I'm no expert so I'm not sure what I did wrong really. I left it a long time and it never cleared up so I decanted a small amount of water effects and added some brown and green ink, mixed it up and added it as a final layer to cover up the cloudiness with murky water. Its better than nothing I guess.

Here it is with the one I painted three years ago. Looking at them together I really prefer the better basing I'm now trying.

And finally I thought I would try something new! 
Using money from my generous supporters over at Patreon I purchased a rotating display stand. I like to put the money from supporters back into improving the content I make.
I'm hoping to get better at making these over time, one thing I know I want to save for is a better camera (I currently use my phone).
Please let me know what you think of this addition to my painted model articles.
If you like it please like, comment and subscribe on Youtube it really does help with letting youtube know its a video worth suggesting to other hobbyists. (And it upsets Mike...)
