Painting dreadfleet
The Curse of Zandri
The Curse of Zandri is a ship of the Tomb Kings from Khemri. It looks very Egyptian. I’ve tried to give the ram and statues look like stone. Not the most common material on a ship.
The hull
Large parts are made of reed. I’ve painted theses parts Model Color Dark Sand, the deck and oars are painted Panzer Aces Old Wood. I’ve used Model Wash Brown on all these parts. The oars were drybrushed with Model Color Dark Sand.
Stone
The statues, ram and “tail” were painted black first, then heavily drybrushed in Model Color Blue Green. As a highlight they were gently drybrushed with Model Color Pale Blue.
Metal
The metal parts are painted black first, followed by Model Color Natural Steel. For the gold, I’ve painted The Army Painter Greedy Gold on top of the natural steel. I wasn’t sure what to do next: a brown wash or a black wash on the gold. I decided to go for the black wash, using 1/2 Game Color Wash Black and ½ water. The result looks good. A final highlight on the gold withModel Color Gold.
Varnish
The last step was to spray The Army Painter matt varnish on the ship and finally to brush gloss varnish on the metal parts.
And the ship is finished. This ship was easy and quick to paint.
