Resolution 2019: Mythic Battles Pantheon

The Lycaon started with an undercoat of storm vermin fur from a spray can. It was then washed nuln oil and then drybrushed mechanicus standard grey. The teeth and skull neckplace were picked out rakarth flesh and washed agrax earthshade. The bracers and chain were painted leadbelcher, washed with nuln oil and then highlighted with ironbreaker.

The Gorgon started with an undercoat of storm vermin fur from a spray can. The upper torso and inner regions of the wing membranes were painted  steel legion drab. The hair was basecoated xv-88. The entire model then received a seraphim sepia wash. Once the wash was dry the upper torso received a layer of tallarn sand and the hair was highlighted bubonic brown. The entire model (except hair) was drybrushed ushabti bone.

The Nemean Lion started with an undercoat of zandri dust from a spray can. The fur was painted steel legion drab and the mane was painted rhinox hide. The claws and teeth were picked out in rakarth flesh. The fur was washed seraphim sepia and the mane was washed agrax earthshade. The entire model received a drybrush of ushabti bone and then blood for the blood god was applied to the mouth.

Tityos started with an undercoat of zandri dust from a spray can. The gaps between the rocks were then painted moot green. The entire model then received a drybrush of ushabti bone.

The Minotaur started with an undercoat of mournefang brown from a spray can. His skin was painted steel legion drab, washed with agrax earthshade, then highlighted with tallarn sand. The loincloth and weapon grip were painted rakarth flesh then washed with seraphim sepia. The horns were painted rakarth flesh then washed agrax earthshade. The hair was washed agrax earthshade then highlighted bubonic brown. The axe shaft was just washed agrax earthshade. The metal areas were painted leadbelcher, washed with nuln oil and then highlighted with ironbreaker.

The Teumessian fox started with an undercoat of mournefang brown from a spray can. The entire model was given two coats of mecharius solar ornage to give it a solid orange colour. It was then washed feugan orange then drybrushed fiery orange. The black gradient was attempted using a method given in the newly released Fireslayers Army Book. I took a 50:50 mix of abaddon black:lahmian medium. This was applied in layers starting at the feet or base of the tail and worked up. Each layer ended lower than the last. This didn’t work very well as the first layer was too strong so I ended with a very strong and definite black/orange boundary. I made a much weaker abaddon black:lahmian medium mix to do another layer to reintroduce a transition. If I try this technique again I would use much less colour in the mix to get a smoother transition. The model was finished by picking out the teeth and spines (?) in rakarth flesh and giving them a wash with agrax earthshade.
