Multiple Mortem et Gloriam Indian Armies
Painting Cloth
The key element of painting for these armies is the cloth items. As previously mentioned, I am aiming for colourful armies. Having looked at a variety of different images of Indian clothing there is a myriad of colours from blues, yellows, greens, reds, pinks many of these pastel colours.
The process that I am going to take with the cloth is very similar to the skin. However, on to of the zenith primer i do use a coat of Citedel Contrast – Apothecary White. I use this just to give me an extra idea of where the folds in the cloth are before I start, i then go over the raised areas using Vallejo Model Color – Pale Sand, This gives an extra bit of definition to the cloth,
The next step is to apply a thin base coat of the chosen colour, then a wash using a contrast colour, followed by the base coat with the original colour. Then a final highlight of the base coat mixed with a hint of pale sand.
Stage 1 - Base coat using - Army Painter Crystal Blue
Stage 2 - Wash of Citadel Contrast - Talassar Blue
Stage 3 - First highlight using - Army Painter - Crystal Blue
Stage 4 - Second highlight using - Army Painter - Cystal Blue with a dash of Vallejo Model Color - Pale Sand (70.837)
