Mythic Battles: Pantheon by lawnor

I wanted to paint the Hydra next as I have an idea how and he is one of the models from the tutorial mission so it seems wise to start with those models.  I have gone through all the models I own and identified 7 models that have green scales as a dominant feature.  I’ve fished them out, washed them, and started basing them.  I need to see if the models need cleaning up and then I can start priming.  I have an Ork on the go right now and I should probably paint a few Space Marines before starting this work.  I’ll be switching back and forth between MB:P and my Space Wolves to help break up any fatigue either project may cause.

I’ve also fished out the columns because I’m pretty sure there is no effort involved in painting them.  Prime.  Airbrush base.  Wash.  Drybrush.  Done.  I should be able to do these as an aside to another project.

I had a chat with @Brushstroke about how he did his Columns in his project and I used his recipe, swapping out GW Rakkarth Flesh for P3 Hammerfall khaki as I was running very low on Rakkarth.  I also drybrushed as I was prioritising speed over awesomeness for these pieces as they are nothing fancy.  Painting them revealed lots of undesirable texture suggesting the manufacturers had the same idea.  I wonder if perhaps these were intended to be much smaller once and got scaled up at the last minute without increasing the resolution of the file.

Anyway, I zenithal primed, base coated with Hammerfall Khaki, washed with GW Agrax Earthshade, drybrushed withGW Pallid Wych Flesh and then drybrushed with White.

Up close the end result is ugly, but at arms length they look fine.  These are intended to be somewhere between terrain and tokens and they really are not the star of the show so I’m content to go with it.  If I had to paint another as part of an actual model I would try painting rather than drybrushing.
