Levarius' Army of the Dead - Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
Adding the Oxide - Part 2
After painting about 8-9 of them, I realised that the blue might be a bit too heavy and overpowering, especially when the oxide paint drys and stops being so translucent.
Therefore, for the rest of the models, I opted to mix in some Lahmian Medium to reduce the thickness of the blue. After doing a further few models, I think that in the end the ratio was along the lines of 1:1, though I can’t be exact as it was slightly different each time!
I went for rough mix of 1:1 between the Nihilakh Oxide and Lahmian Medium
Above shows some of the models with a lighter tint of blue, which I think works better. I was worried at this point that I would have to repaint all the ones done with the heavier blue. However, when I put them in a big group, the differing shades of blue works really well when all mixed together. That’s a relief!
The next entry will be focused on the edge highlighting and starting the bases, stay tuned.
