Mythic and Winter Helen
Winter Helen’s fur was simply painted celestra grey and then washed with nuln oil. Her bracers and boots were painted abaddon black and then highlighted with skavenblight dirge. For the leopard skin I started with a Talarn sand base and then painted rhinox hide irregular circles. Looking at the reference picture I found the circles are often not complete but they do form in rows, so I tried to copy that as best as I could. I finished the leopard skin with a seraphim sepia wash.
Mythic Helen’s skirt was painted with a naggaroth night base, washed druchii violet and then given successive highlights of xereus purple and genestealer purple. This is because purple is one of the spot colours of my Order force. Her armour was painted screaming bell, washed reikrarth flesh, and then given successive highlights of hashut copper, sycorax bronze, and runefang steel. The shield was painted with micro set and an elder vehicle transfer was applied. The transfer was then sealed in place with more micro set.
The bases are the standard bases I use for Age of Sigmar Order models, which is where I imagine I will use these models if I ever game with them. The bases are painted zandri dust, then the skills are painted rakarth flesh, the metal areas as retributor armour, and then the whole base is given an agrax earthsade wash. When the wash is dry I drybrush the whole base with tyrant skull and then the metal areas are drybrushed golden griffon.
