Shadespire journey continued (Spring Clean)
Getting the scheme down.
The base is a grey colour just mixed roughly with Abaddon Black and Army Painter Barbarian Flesh just to see what it looks like grey. For consistency I will probably use some Mechanicus Standard Grey on the others with some Zandri Dust skulls and grey and Zandri mix as a dry brush.
The loin cloth red is Mephiston Red.
The belts are Army Painter leather brown with some Abaddon Black added. (I need to find a nice dark rich brown in my collection somewhere, but I just darkened the leather brown until I was happy.)
I have used Vallejo Bronze for the runes and bronze pieces, but I will probably use some Balthasar Gold as a highlight.
The metal of the weapons etc is painted in Leadbelcher, then washed with Nulin Oil and then highlighted back up with Leadbelcher.
The hair is Jokaero Orange with Casandora Yellow shade. I might get some Troll Slayer Orange to see whether I prefer it or not.
I used Abaddon Black for what I decided was probably a leather covered shaft of the axes. Being all metal coloured looked wrong to me somehow. I might add some leather brown damage marks to the black leather.
