Khorne Black Armour, Gold Trim, Teeth, Horns, Hair and Claws
The armour was base coated with Revell Aqua Color 36106 Tar Black, and then highlighted with a mix of Tar Black and 36174 Gunship Grey, applied as normal in some areas, but as stippling over open surfaces that would catch the light. The highlights were further enhanced with a 1:2 mix before I remembered to take pictures, which don't really show what I've been doing unfortunately.
Next highlight was pure Gunship Grey, and then that was mixed with 36176 Light Grey, and finally pure Light Grey
As the highlights looked a little too pronounced I glaized over them one or twice with the base colour to unify everything better
All the soon to be iron and bronze areas have been undercoated black. The inlay on the skirt was painted P3 Pig Iron, washed GW Nuln Oil, and then drybrushed P3 Cold Steel
The gold was given 2-3 coats of Darkstar Blackened Bronze, and then highlighted with Darkstar Bronze
All the bronze was washed with 50/50 water/Secret Weapon Sewer Water
Finally, the highlights were applied with more Darkstar Bronze. For anyone thats curious, the rubber is there to rock him back on his pins otherwise you mostly see the top of his head
The Teeth and Horns were base coated with P3 Menoth White Base. The bottom 2/3rds were washed with P3 Ember Orange, and then the bottom 1/3rd was washed with P3 Bloodstone. The tops were highlighted with P3 menoth White Higlight and lines of this were drawn along the curve of the horns to varying lengths. The Tongue was picked out in P3Murderous Magenta
The hair, claws and hooves etc were base coated with a mix of VMC 70.995 German Grey and P3 Cryx Bane Base
That was washed with Nuln Oil, then highlighted with a mix of German Grey and GW Karak Stone. Final highlights were applied to everything except the hair with a mix of Karak Stone and a tiny amount of the previous mixThis final colour is based loosely on Duncans Bloodthirster video but I switched the paints as best as I could for ones I owned. Once again I found the wings were in the way of everything. I rarely had anywhere to place my hands while painting the highlights so all brush control went out of the window, and I don’t have much to begin with. I have shaky hands at the best of times.
