Very Slow League of Infamy Project

The rock was base coated with a thin coat of German Field Grey (Vallejo Model Colour) followed by a Paynes grey wash, then paint I had been using on other areas was applied.  I used the Yellow Ochre Glaze, Earth Tan and Chocolate Brown in random areas and then the bone white glaze on highlights.

The lance and the cloak were done using a similar method to the wings (Week 14):

• Tan Earth (Vallejo Model Air) base coat
• Violet Ink wash (week 14) on the cloak and in the shadows on the lance
• Tan Earth drybrush
• Barbarian Flesh (Army Painter) drybrush on the cloak, layered highlight on the lance
• Ice Yellow (Vallejo Model Color) drybrush on the cloak, layered highlight on the lance
• Ivory (Vallejo Model Color) drybrush on the cloak, layered highlight on the lance
• Bloody Red Glaze (week 12)

The lance handle, saddle, straps and clothes were base coated Chocolate Brown (Vallejo Model Color) and drybrushed Pale Sand (Vallejo Model Color).

For the armour of the rider, the lance tip and the chest piece of the Drakon I had a look at what colours Angel Giraldez uses for true metallic metal to get some ideas ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_McGLgzoeY  and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRK2uMZbz3Y ).  I then applied them in a slap dash way with the paints I had missing out several steps (Not a display model).  I went for a darker armour rather than silver.

• Black basecoat followed by Gun Metal (Vallejo Model Color) mixed with the smallest amount of Panzer Dark Grey (Vallejo Model Air).
• A mix of Sepia Ink (Vallejo Game Ink), Blue Ink (Vallejo Game Ink) and Black Wash (Vallejo Flames of War) washed into the shadows with a second more Blue Ink wash away from the shadows.
• Gold (Army Painter Warpaints) with a tiny amount of Red Leather (Vallejo Model Color) was applied to the filigree and top crest.
• Silver (Vallejo Game Color) with a tiny amount of white was applied to some of the edges including spots on the gold.

The skin of the rider was a base coat of Tan Earth followed by Barbarian Flesh mixed with Ivory on the raised areas and then a more Ivory mix to highlight.
