Storm of Magic Chimera WIP

[Tin-Bucket]

Hello everyone. Long time no see. I am starting a new WIP for the Chimera model and I am going to post updates of it here.
Here is the first picture of the bundle. The model is green-stuffed mainly on the heads, as they are assembled from 2 pieces each that needed a bit of GS. I used the Vallejo grey primer to prime the model and get it ready for painting. It seems to hold paint quite well, and it has a resin-like component to help promote paint adhesion if I recall correctly.
I think of getting the colour scheme similar to the one on the front picture on the box as seen on the bottom. What do you guys think?

Joe from eavy metal team painted the blue scheme on the box. Stunning painting, top end even for EvM team.

Ηello. I did not know who the painter of the model was. Indeed it is simply brilliant even for the eavy's standards. I do not think that mine will get even as close to the original but noone can blame me for trying , keep tuned for the update piccies.

I saw that mini painted in EM and was blown away bu Joes work....a good replacement for the brilliant Darren Latham. If you can get even close you'll have a stunner on your hands for sure. Good luck, am gonna follow this as I love this big badboy!!!

Cheers
Will

morning everyone. Here is a quick snap of the undercoated chimera. the colour is a mix of warlock purple, VJ imperial blue and chaos black. I will try to start layering the colours up to the shade of blue. There are lots of large surfaces so I think I will have a go with my airbrush at least for the smoothest parts. Anyone willing to give an insight for the blue colour to use? Unfortunately I was not able to get a copy of the WD issue with the storm of magic monsters..any help will be appreciated

I have started working on the blending of the extremes of the model. here is a closeup of the tail head. The camera focus screwed up so it looks soft, but I think you can distinguish the blending. What do you guys think? Do you think I should use watered down purple wash to bring the pallete together and move to highlights afterwards?

A small update with the afternoon sun providing the light. There are lots to be done still. Let me know what you guys think.
