A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
Painting up my second Vader
Here we go again… I got myself the new Vader for Legion – I like the new sculpt and the pose. I will use this one for Imperial Assault, so I planted him onto an Imperial Assault-base.
As for the painting process, I gave Vader a black undercoat and then a mid-grey zenithal misted over the mini for the purpose of pre-shading/-highlighting. After that, I gave the wholemini a very light drybrushing with white, and then a wash with dilluted black ink which was applied more like a glaze than a wash.
With that done, the real painting could begin – applying lots of thin, transparent layers of light greys and some pure white glints. Also, I’m putting in some serious OSL right from the get go. Here’s an image of the work in progress:
