The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted
53 MTG: Survivors
Kingdom Death actually arrived! it turned up between Christmas and new year. it was almost 11kg and huge. There looks like 10-15 sprues inside. I’ve taken out the first 3 I want and it’s let me build 13 models so far so who knows for sure what’s on the rest. I think there’s about 45 models in the box, so I’ve added that to my MTG total for now.
While waiting for it to arrive I started work on the last 28mm 3D prints I had, but I ditched them to focus on the big black box. So far I’ve finished 4 survivors and I’ve begun work on more.

Starting Survivor - ZacharyHere’s my progress on the rest of the stuff on my table. I could use opinions on the red lady. She’s a red Tiefling wearing a red dress which will have gold trim. The leather is a black-green. I thought perhaps I could get away with that front sash thing being white, but it looks all wrong. I don’t know what colour to make it. Any suggestions?
My WIPS. The lion and Antelope next I think.
What colour should I make her white sash thing?
I think the white sash just looks like its been left as undercoat. Perhaps with some more obvious grey shading it could work.
I think it might also be better to distinguish between the skin and dress reds more. E.g. very pale red for one and a dark red for the other.
Great work on the KDM minis.
The reds were painted with completely different paints and I brought the skin up with an orange and the cloth up with a pink. I might need to push them more though. I could try adding a glaze of grey to the white? It was painted the same as the KDM togas. There’s just not much there to shade unfortunately. The issue is that it is too bright for the rest of the model. I could start again with the white and paint it the way I’ve painted clouds / gusts of wind on some recent models where I start… Read more »
I find doing white from a grey base coat and highlighting up works best. Perhaps for the reds a few glazes or washes could make them look different?
Its a thought. I could push the red-pink cloth up to white and then go over with red ink?
I was actually thinking of a darker red wash on the clothes – but either approach would work. They just need to be differentiated a bit more.
I gave the flesh a dark red wash originally (GW carroburg crimson). My fear is if I do the cloth too, then I’ll just unify the colours. Pretty sure I mixed some dark green in to red and shaded the cloth with that.with that
