Spring cleaning: Zacharias the Everliving
Highlights
I’ve been adding more highlights to the main colours. So far I’ve left the black alone as I think the contrast paint works well enough for black.
The bone was highlighted with ushabti bone followed by screaming skull. The exposed flesh was highlighted with evil sunz scarlet followed by wild rider red. The tongue, tome, and staff tip were highlighted with pink horror followed by emperor’s children. Zacharius’ robes were highlighted with genestealer purple. The spirit was highlighted with wild rider red followed by a 50:50 mix of wild rider red and screaming skull.
The dragon’s eye sockets were painted with screaming skulland then hexwraith flame.
The edge of the base got a layer of waaagh! flesh.
One of the things I noticed is that the orange contrast paints had started to rub off where I was handling Zacharias a lot. I also read tip in last month’s Whitedwarf that after applying contrast paints you should varnish the model to protect the paint. It seems contrast paints are more prone to rubbing off than other paints.
