Rising from the Ashes - Jodain's Spring Clean
66 Down, 101 to go
A busy week for painting, I finished off the 8 Firestorm and Isawa Tsuke and then started on painting 4 Earth Elementals, 4 Void Guard and Shiba Ujimitsu.
The Earth Elementals figures don’t look very earthy and acutally look some of the nicest samurai figures in the collection, as such I decided I wanted to paint them as humans wearing stone armour. To get this to work I decided to switch up the slap chop for this batch and dropped the black out, I started with a base of Halford Grey Primer (pretty much the same colour as AP Uniform Grey), then drybrushed Vallejo Sky Grey and finally a lighter dry brush of white. This has two benefits, 1 it allows the colours to be brighter and 2 stops the greening of the yellow in the deepest shades. I left the armour of the elementals unpainted as such so they show the original shades of the grey slapchop. The rest of the colours are fairly standard with my army. The Void Guard are a little different, I went with Contrast Nighthaunt Gloom for the most part with metallics to finish off.
