Carnevale - Escape from San Canciano

With the Guild models finished we move on to the four Rashaar models in the Escaper from San Canciano set. The Cult Enforcer and Officiant of Dagon models are wearing very similar types of armour and so the painting processes for both these models will be very similar.

The Hydrid should be straightforward although it’s skin will need a different treatment due to it’s part human-part fish monster nature.

The Lesser Rhyll will need a completely different approach but we’ll get to that later.

Initial base coats were applied to all the following areas using the specified Vallejo Model Color (or in one case Games Workshop) paint.

Robe – Hawk Turquoise (Old GW paint)

Trousers – Intermediate Blue

Hood – Royal Purple

Belt, Shoulder wrap – Japanese Uniform

Knife blades, metal decoration on front and back waist straps – Black

Boots, Kneepads, Mask, Epaulette ridges, Knife handles, Raised ridges on robes, Pouch on waist – Chocolate Brown

Skin – Tan Earth

As with the guild models a liberal coat of Agrax Earthshade was applied to everything prior to the highlighting step.

The following colours were reapplied over our washed model covering about 70-80% of the original area leaving shadows in recesses and at the edge of areas.

Robe – Hawk Turquoise (Old GW paint)

Trousers – Intermediate Blue

Hood – Royal Purple 50%/Pink 50% (I don’t often mix colours but my lack of purple and violet tones in my paint collection necessitated it here.)

Belt, Shoulder wrap – Flat Yellow

Knife blades, metal decoration on front and back waist straps – Oily Steel

Boots, Pouch on Waist – Beige Brown

Kneepads, Mask, Epaulette ridges, Knife handles, Raised ridges on robes – Brass

Skin – Sunny Skin Tone

As with the guild bases had a generous coat of Basalt Grey and it’s done,

As I said above this model has many similar to the officiant above, almost a uniform if you like, so I’ll simply summarize the differences here.

Mace handle – Base: Green Grey – Highlight post shading: Green Grey again

Hair – Base: Neutral Grey – Highlight:  Sky Grey
