It was finally time to tackle the Heroes. I chose the Barbarian to begin with, partly because he is the simplest to paint but also because he is my 6 year olds favourite character. My intention with all of the heroes was to achieve a look comparable to the player board art.

Barbarian Player Board Art

For the Barbarian’s skin I used a mix of GW Kislev Flesh and Vallejo Basic Skin Tone. This was given a wash of Ogryn Flesh before highlights were applied with another mix of the flesh colours, this time favouring the Basic Skin Tone. Pure Basic Skin Tone was used for the most raised areas, such as the nose and cheeks. I used German Camo Medium Brown from Vallejo on the hair. This was subsequently washed with several layers of null oil.

The boots and fur pants were painted Vallejo Leather Brown and washed with a thinner down mix of Wyldwood Contrast paint.

This picture was taken after Soft Tone and Matt Varnish and I’m slightly regretting the use of Soft Tone on the skin areas. It has left the skin looking quite grubby which is probably ok for a guy in a dungeon but not what I was aiming for!
