The Path of Kane
Painting Solomon Kane
I have been looking forward to painting the hero who lends his name to the game, particularly because black has always offered a good painting challenge.
Solomon Kane was, a usual, zenithal primed with black/grey/white.
Gallery above - The miniature was then covered with GW Contrast Black Templar - Above - Pants were covered with a thinned out layer of GW Incubi Darkness (as a glaze) then highlighted with GW Stegadon Green and Mechanicus Standard Grey.
The shirt and hats were glazed with Vallejo Black Green and highlighted with GW Mechanicus Standard Grey and Dawnstone. Keep the highlights only where the zenithal light hits the miniature, which is e asier if you kept your contrast and glaze layers thin.
The cloak is then covered with a glaze of Vallejo SMoke and a glaze of Vallejo Woodgrain. These two colors are also used to pain the pistol wooden parts as well as the belts.
Metallic parts (pistols/buckles/sword) were given a layer of Leadbelcher and a wash of Nuln Oil Gloss
The base was painted with GW Contrast Ork Flesh (grass) , Abaddon Dune (stones) and SKeleton Horde (skulls). The grass is highlighted with GW Skarsnik Green, the stones with GFW Tallarn Sand and the skulls with GW Ushabti Bone Finally, a coral snake was added using black, red and yellow for color and contrast with the dark miniature.
Metallic parts (pistols/buckles/sword) were given a layer of Leadbelcher and a wash of Nuln Oil Gloss. They are then highlighted with Vallejo Air Silver. Ensure to only highlight teh pats hit by the zenithal light.
FInally, hands and face were highlighted with a light flesh color so as to give a splash of color to the miniature,
Solomon Kane is now ready to walk his redemptive path...
