Fallout Wasteland Warfare Painting Progress
Hail to the Queen
Finally done with painting a friends models so it’s time to resurrect this project in a big way with the Mirelurk Queen! This model is absolutely huge with a very nicely detailed base. While I painted the base with “normal” paints I did the Queen herself with Contrast paints and they worked great with all the details she has. I primed her in Wraithbone to start then did highlights of gray over the top to darken the shell and legs but keep the fleshy interior bits lighter. I then blocked the model out in the following colours,
Face: Guilliman Flesh
Inner body and downside: Basilicanum Grey
Shell: Agaros Dunes
Thorns: Skeleton Horde
I did 2 coats as due to the size of the model sections would loose paint just from flowing away and then proceeded to add some more colour. I took Fleshtearers Red, Dark Angel Green, Ultramarine Blue, Gore Grunta Fur, and stipled them onto the model, blending them together in that order to produce a nice patchwork effect.
Next I applied Agrax Earthshade over the entire model further helping to blend the colors. Finally I did some light drybrush of the thorns with Wraithbone, sealed, and added tufts to the shell.
Big thanks goes to Oliver Riedle of the Wasteland Warfare FB group for his original version of this paint scheme. Also check out the videos after the pictures of the entire process, part 1 is just the base as it has a lot of details, part 2 is the Queen herself.
Not going to end well for the Brotherhood
