Draconis does.... Kings of War Vanguard
Butchers
3rd September 2023
Like the other restic minis, the Butchers had their base flesh tone already laid down. I had added some of the pink contrast over the tentacle areas to give it some different tonality.
Then it was a relatively basic process of detailing the mouth, picking out the blue tongue and painting in the teeth. And also painting their fur underpants in a black with grey highlights.
Next it was onto the weapons. I gave them a silver base coat, then applied a rust look by overpainting them in a thinned mix of orange and brown. This was folloed with a drybrush of silver, and some highlights and scratch marks in a brighter silver.
Finishing touches were painting the claws in black, with a follow up gloss varnish. And painting in the weapon handles that I missed on the earlier stages.
The gap filling was a mixed end result. Some parts covered really well, and others I clearly didn’t add quite enough filler, or smooth it well enough.
