Sláine: Kiss My Paintbrush!
Earth Tribes - Fianna or "Father Jack's Own"
I had these Confrontation models sitting in a drawer and when I started this project I wanted to use them. They are Fianna. I thought the bright graphic painting style would suite the beautiful sculpts and I was right, go me 🙂
Method
All AP Sppedpaints as usual. Crusader Skin first and then a highlight to the skin with a mixture of Vallejo Pale Skin and Elf Skin. I wanted a bright leather colour on the leggings and boots so a 50/50 mix of Hardened Leather and Palid Bone provided a colour that looked great but was so close to Sand Golem that I used that to touch up the missed bits. The turquoise colour is a mix of 2/3 Plasmatic Bolt to 1/3 Magic Blue with a couple of drops of medium. This was then mixed with a bit of Vallejo Game Air Wolf Grey to provide an edge highlight. Finally the metal was Gravelord Grey with a drop of Runic Grey and Cloudburst Blue, edge highlights with neat Vallejo Game Air Wolf Grey.
Details were the flutes done in Palid Bone and handle wraps in Hardened Leather and the standard is Dark Wood cut 50% with Speedpaint Medium.
Finally, the hair was a mix of Palid Bone, Holy White, Sand Golem and Zealot Yellow. A slightly different mix used for each model to get colours from plain blond to red.
So why are they “Father Jack’s Own”? Well…
GIRLS!
ARSE!
