Sláine: Kiss My Paintbrush!
Wicker Man
A Wicker Man is featured in a number of storylines. Warlord’s publicity table setup features this model which is called Alan and is from Ainsty Castings. He comes with an alternate head to make a wickerman monster and a Green Man mask for any folk horror weirdness you may want to get into. The basic version is great for us.
Black undercoat and then drybrushed with a makeup brush in progressive layers of: Citadel Khemri Brown, Vallejo Flat Brown (patchy), Vallejo Japanese Uniform WWII (patchy) and then a light drybrush with Citadel Dheneb Stone. It takes a while to build up the depth of colour that looks right and the two patchy colours provides a bit of colour variation across the surface which doesn’t show so well in the photos. Woodwork has been overpainted with Contrast Snakebite Leather and the wood around the feet has been tinted with a range of different brown colours, thin glazes to ensure the highlights show through.
The model is huge – 250mm/10 inches tall. Standard reference Skull Sword for comparison purposes.
Nice. This has been on my list to get since before the game came out.
Thanks 🙂 It’s a lovely kit and you certainly can’t complain at the price, it’s huge. They did take a few weeks longer to get to me than the Scotia bits but it was worth the wait.
