Lupa15's Spring Cleaning 2020
More Random Miniatures from the Backlog
To continue with the half finished miniatures piling up on my desk I decided to start painting these blue horrors from Warhammer Quest Silver Tower.
I found an old Warhammer painting article that suggested using a Drakenhof Nightshade wash and then a Druchii Violet wash over a basecoat of Caledor Sky. After the washes were dry I recoated the raised bits with Caledor Sky and then highlighted them with some Teclis Blue.
Additionally I dived into painting Alexis Polux, the Crimson Fist captain of the Imperial Fists. I did some research before hand on how to paint Imperial Fists and everyone was suggesting a Yriel Yellow base. I found that was way to bright and went back to the drawing board.
After some mulling I decided to use a base of Averland Sunset and Yriel Yellow at a 50-50 mix. I washed the receesses with Reikland Fleshshade and then used Yriel Yellow as a highlight. Then very carefully highlighted the edges with Dorn Yellow.
Following lots of painting yellow I decided to take a break and paint his base. I kind of just went off the fly and unfortunately don’t remember the exact paints I used but I started with Warplock Bronze and did several drybrushes to get to a rusted metal look before washing it with Agrax Earthshade to give it an extra dingy look.
