Reaper Bones Bugbear

Last night I painted a Reaper Bones Bugbear using an old method with some new tools.  My buddy Jan hung out with me a couple of weeks ago and he brought me a bottle of the Army Painter Strong Tone ink--this is the water based stuff, not the oil-based "dip" stain I have used on and off for the last 12 years.

Anyway, after priming him black using Vallejo brush-on primer, I laid some base colors on him (a mix of Foundry, GW, and PP), then applied the Strong Tone.  Wow!  It lit him up like a firecracker!  Great stuff!  Check it out!

I did very little highlighting after the wash, but I am very pleased with the outcome.  Needless to say, I cannot wait until more Bones hit the store shelves.  I hope more Bugbears are included in the second wave of Bones releases.

I'll try to take some other shots of the Bugbear with other models (and in better lighting) later this week. 

Thanks for visiting!

  1. Nice results. I've had mixed feelings about both the inks and the varnishes, but they're new tools to me and will take time to get the feel for.

    I like what you've accomplished here though, it looks tops!

  2. Now *that* is a classic old school dungeon crawl opponent. Stock up on your hit dice, boys.
