Getting started on the inquisitor
I’ve been thinking a lot about the colours to use when I come to painting my minis and to try and tie all the figures together all will feature red somewhere on the model.
The inquisitor I picture as quite a proud and vain man not wanting to get his hands dirty unless he has to. To help with this image I want to make his armour a metallic red, I’ve never really tried this before so I’m kind of making it up as I go along.
The method I’ve used is to paint the armour gold and highlight as I would normally and then keep applying a red glaze until I get the red I want. I wanted to use gold as the base coat to give the red a warm feeling.
The paints I am going to use are Retributor armour, Auric armour gold and liberator gold.
Once this stage is complete it’s time to add the red, I’ve chosen to use pure red from the army painter range. When using a glaze there’s no real set ratio of water to paint that I’m aware of but Ad I was in unknown territory I wanted to keep the paint very thin and apply the colour slowly.
I am liking the way these models are starting to look and for a first attempt I think the red is a success. I am not convinced it was worth the effort to add all the layers of gold though.
