Painting Mythic Battles titans

The next part of the project was to paint the chains on our titan and for this i used the pictured paints.

I wanted a worn look to them so started with a base layer of typhous corrosion which when dry was rough and an excellent base from which to add some dry brushing.

First dry brushing was done with boltgun metal

The second layer of dry brushing the Vallejo model air steel which i weathered down with a final dry brush of the ryza rust toned down in places with some agrax earthshade used almost as a glaze.

overall the chains didn’t turn out too bad as can be seen in the following Photo

Next came the base and for a little while it had me stumped. My mate wanted to replicate the effect across the whole range of figures so it couldn’t be too difficult and anything used had to be easily sourced and obtained so he could do it on the smaller stuff with a few directions.

In the end i decided on something simple ,as the game is set in Greece there is gonna be sand and scrub plants so i went with that as the unifying theme. its dead easy to accomplish as well simply being a coat of PVA and a dunk in a tub of basing sand. When dry it was then a case of a few tiny drops of PVA and the application of ready bought grass tufts from off of Ebay.

However me being me couldnt leave it at that and looking at the base was thinking to myself what would happen if a lava monster were to walk on sand in real life? sand with the heat would turn to glass but how could i replicate that to look like he simply hadnt just appeared like magic?

well suffering terribly with Allergies at this point my Piriton muddled mind thought i know footsteps of glass left behind him as he walked. It seemed like a good idea so off i went free handing some foot shapes in black paint behind him, these however, just looked like some black sand so i came on the idea of applying a generous layer of water effects over the paint to both bulk out and smooth the surface at the same time giving a gloss effect all great and looked fine until i finally matt coat varnished the entire model.

Arghh! back to black sand shapes again and needing a final application of gloss varnish to the footprints.

This was the first one complete i only hope my mate liked it and could get the footprint idea.
