Warhammer 40K: Conquest Challenge

The colours on this guy are the same as the Plague Marines. To recap:

• Primer: Army Painter Leather Brown Spray
• Armour: Citadel Iyanden Darksun
• Flesh: Citadel Fortress Grey
• Steel Trim: Citadel Boltgun Metal
• Bronze Trim: Citadel Dwarf Bronze
• Pustules: Citadel Foundation Mechrite Red
• Eyes: Army Painter Black

Shading:

• Glaze: Citadel Baal Red. On each side there are three hooks pulling taut the flesh behind the weapon. The glaze was limited to those areas.
• Wash: Citadel Leviathan Purple. Across all the fleshy areas including inside the mouth.
• Wash: Citadel Baal Red. Inside the mouth only. I did this twice to really differentiate inside the mouth from the rest of the beast.
• Wash: Citadel Devlan Mud. Everywhere. Wait ’til dry!
• Wash: Army Painter Dark Tone. Everywhere, again. Really grime that guy up. Wait again…

Highlighting and Details:

Not much highlighting done here, keeping it dark and grimy. But a couple of details:

• Drybrush: Vallejo Model Colour Khaki. The Chitin around the mandibles, the teeth and the vents on top.
• Drybrush: Army Painter Skeleton Bone. A lighter drybrush on the same areas.
• Wet Blend: (My first attempt!) AP Black/ AP Skeleton Bone. The central eye on the front. Painted in black to look like a Crab/Lobster type eye. With more Black at the top, graduating towards grey at the bottom. A small spot of pure Skeleton Bone at the top of the eye.
• Shade: AP Dark Tone. In the very back of the mouth, and at the little spout right at the tip of the tongue. (It’s a bile spurter… how very Nurgle)
• Mid-tone: Citadel Mechrite Red. The small missiles in the missile pod.
• Mid-tone: AP Skeleton Bone. Two thin layers on the tips of the large missiles in the missile pod.
