Adeptus Mechanicus at the Warhammer 40k Hobby Weekend
Pteraxii Skystalkers
The bases were painted mecharius solar orange and once that was dry I applied a thick layer of mordant earth technical paint. This took several hours to dry but as it did so it cracked to reveal the orange underneath. Once dry the base rims were painted abaddon black.
I then painted the clothes and wing frames with gryph-hound orange contrast paint, skeleton horde for the wing membranes and the rest of the models shyish purple contrast paint. Mistakes have to be covered up by re-applying wraithbone base paint before using the next contrast colour.
Then I painted the areas that are light sources white scar. Then drybrushed praxeti white around the area of the light sources, ensuring my brush strokes always move from the light source directly away.
The light sources were then coloured biel-tan green. The areas that were drybrushed were glazed waywatcher green.
