Answering the Call to Arms (Elder Scrolls)
Pt 5: Fus Ro Dah! (Force, Balance, Push)
The final model of the Bleak Falls Barrow set was the Dragonborn. I’de already painted the promo a few months ago, and decided to use the same colour scheme for this one.
First up was a basecoat of Rhinox Hide, with a Mournfang brown dry-brush all over, then a brass scorpion dry-brush on the shield.
Then it was time to do the details. Leadbelcher for the metallic areas (and dry-brushed on the shield). Kislev Flesh for any skin. And Zandri Dust for any fur, hair, and the horns on the helmet.
The model was then given a good coating of agrax earthshade, before highlighting any Zandri dust areas with screaming scull, and any brown areas that I wanted to stand out a bit more with mournfang brown again. I also decided to give the shield another wash, this time with Nuln Oil.
Overall the colour scheme if very simple (as have all of mine been so far), but im very happy with how they are turning out.
I should probably also mention at this point that the bases on the models aren’t yet finished. Once I have finished all of them, I will be applying some grass tufts and snow to all the bases.
Looking great so far! cant wait to see what else they come up with, that dragon from Joan of Arc looks great as well.
Thankyou, I’m close to finishing the Stormcloaks, so next post will hopefully be up this weekend.
The preview pics they’ve posted show some interesting models coming out, im looking forward to the adventurer companions that they’ve shown a few times.
