The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted
63 MTG: The Phoenix
I’ve finished the Phoenix, which just leaves The Hand and The Kings Man to do, ideally before the Spring Clean Hobby Challenge starts in two weeks on Sunday 20th March. it should be doable. I’ve done the metal on both of them and begun work on other colours already.
The Phoenix was sadly too big to fit in my light box.

So how did I paint him? Apparently I didn’t write it down. I’ve just painted the matching armour sets and I’ve had to recreate it from memory and some photos of paint pots. Lets make notes for future me. The flesh was painted using the Forces of Warmachine: Cryx recipe for Pallid Flesh.
Phoenix Feathers
Darker Base: 50/50 VMC 70.966 Turquoise / VMC 70.808 Blue Green
Middle Base: Blue Green
Lighter Base: Blue Green mixed with Scalecolor SC-49 Caribbean Blue
(All washes were either applied as a pin was along recesses, or targeted to darker areas to bring the tone down. Don’t just slap all over without thinking)
Shade wash with Reaper 29813 Bright turquoise
Darker wash with above with added VMC 70.309Panzer Aces Periscopes
Darkest wash with just Periscopes
Highlight each area with the base tone from the next lightest area. Blur this between regions
Higher highlights were done using just Caribbean Blue, and eventually Caribbean Blue mixed with VMC 70.918 Ivory (On armour kits because I forgot what I’d used before), or P3 Sickly Skin (on the bird)
