Gorka's journey into kingdom death
The white lion
The model I chose to paint first for the game was the white lion. Mainly because he is the first monster the survivors encounter and in the beginning probably the most fought monster.
The colors I used are all scale 75 paints unless stated otherwise
Darkest shadows, flat black mix with abyssal blue about 3:1 mix. I then mixed one part brown gray to the mix above and started the highlighting. From that point I mixed more brown gray to the mix and kept highlighting until pure brown gray. Next I mixed a bit of brown gray and mojave white abot 2:1. Adding more mojave white until pure. After that i washed the whole model other than the top of the back with a mix of dark tone, strong tone (both by army painter), and lahmian medium about a 1:1:1. Once that was dry i touched up with mojave white. The red on the paws was done by a couple thin passes with secret weapon red black wash then a pass or 2 of fresh blood by minitaire. The eyes were painted pure white. Then a couple of glazes of evil sun scarlet (gw). This was followed by a bit of troll slayer orange (gw) and a small dot of white
Wow, that lion is fabulous. I’ve seen a few excellent ones, but they’re normally creamier in colour. It’s probably more realistic, but I like the colder look you’ve got. It’s very atmospheric and really suits the setting.
Thank you. Thats exactly what I was going for. I want them to look like they are from the world of kingdom death.
