Weeknight Progress - Finishing Basecoating and shading
I managed to spend an evening finishing all the base coating and them moved on to some shades. I was a little torn on how to approach this so i decided to put it off, by shading the skin first. After that had dried I bit the bullet and went with a pretty heavy wash of our friend Agrax Earthshade.
I had consider using amry painter tone but in all honesty I have a spare bottle of Agrax and the tones are running low so that made my decision for me.
Shades used
Flesh – Reikland Fleshshade
Pretty much everything else – Agrax Earthshade
Im actually reasonably happy with the results. I had planned on a full phase highlighting but now im not so sure. Partly because theres so many to paint and secondly I dont think it needs it, ranked up these already look pretty effective.
Currently I’m planning on highlighting the face, crossbelts in offwhite to clean them up in addition to the strong colours red/green/yellow etc and ive also done a pass on the above units musket metals.
I think i’ll then leave it there and crack on with the next unit.
And to close this post off, heres the view i’ll probably see most of the time
