Resolution 2020: Clearing the pile of shame

It’s been a very long time since I last did batch painting on this scale, but with all my Felsh-Eater Courts models using the same colour scheme it made sense to do them all at once.

The models started with a Chaos Black undercoat. They were then base coated with Rakarth Flesh and washed with a 50:50 mix of Corroburg Crimson and Druchii Violet. Once the wash was dry they were drybrushed with Rakarth Flesh followed by a 50:50 mix of Rakarth Flesh and White Scar. The wing membranes then get another wash of 50:50 mix Corroburg Crimson and Druchii Violet.

With the flesh (i.e. 90% of the models) now done it is now time to pick out the details. Bones were painted Rakarth Flesh, wood XV-88, leather Rhinox Hide, metal Leadbelcher and hair Celestra Grey. All these areas except the hair and metal were then washed with Agrax Earthshade. The hair was highlighted with White Scar. The metal was washed with Nuln Oil.

The eyes are painted Moot Green, allowing the paint to fill the entire eye socket area. The centre of the eyes are then picked out Flash Gitz Yellow and then the eyes and surrounding area are glazed with Lamenters Yellow.

Blood for the blood god is applied liberally on hands, “weapons”, and mouths.

The bases are painted Caliban Green. Any bones are painted Rakarth Flesh and stones painted Stormvermin Fur. Then the raised areas are given a Agrax Earthshade wash. The lower areas are painted with Nugle’s Wrot. The soulepods are painted White Scar then washed with Nihilakh Oxide.
