The Wolves of Caliban
Test Miniature Part 1
It’s been a while since I last painted, but that is the way life is sometimes. Anyway I did start a week or so ago on painting the test miniature to check out how the paint scheme was going to look and look at how I would tidy them up. I’m not going to do a complete re-paint this is more a tidy and finish job.
Step 1: As suggested previously I started with a targetted wash along the edges of the armour plates and slightly more on the “soft” armour parts (back of the knees and round the hips). I used the Army Painter Dark Tone to achieve this.
Step 2: A watered down Army Painter Goblin Green was used to paint the helmet, shoulder guards, left knee and the vents on the back pack. This was washed with Army Painter Green Tone to add some definition, particular along the edge of the shoulders. Adding a little White (again Army Painter) to the Green gave me a little highlight, although it might need touching back up on this figure.
Step 3: Boltgun was painter in P3 Traitor Green, with a little white added for highlighting. I wanted to try some NMM on the clip, but I think it failed so that is now a grey (I used AP Armour Grey and Velljo Sky Grey).
Step 4: The Holster was painted with a leather brown colour and washed with Dark Tone.
I need to return to finish a few bits off, but I am aiming for something quick and easy to do.
