Aeon Trespass: Odyssey (ATO) by Lawnor

I took a weekend off painting to play games with friends, but now I’m back with 4 more finished models.  This leaves only 3 more game pieces to paint and I’m done.  I’m going to book a week off in April and I’d like this finished before then.  Even if I do one model a week I should be done before then.

Harpy Flesh
This scheme is looted and modified from Vallejo’s Non-Death Chaos set.  For some reason, theirs looks blue even though it’s painted using purple paints.  i swear they cheat.
Zenithal Preshade
Wash 2:1 VMC 72.048 Sombre Grey: VMC 72.016 Royal Purple (My zenithal blacks were too dominant, so I ended up applying something thicker than a wash to cover this up, and probably 2-3 coats.  Ideally, you want a smooth black to white transition before you begin, and then use a very thin wash over it to tint it.  I failed at that by not reading ahead when priming.  Next time I hope to remember and try this guide properly.

Harpy Wings
Base with a single coat of thinned P3 Umbral Umber over a zenithal prime. I could see lots of the white showing through, but it was tinted brown.
Wash with Vallejo Black Ink thinned about 2:3 with Instar Water+. It’s like water, but better. Don’t ask me how. All I know is everyone swears they won’t go back to water after. Using water in a wash can lead to tide marks and I wanted to avoid that.
Wash with GW Athonian Camoshade. it’s a dirty green. I want swampy dirtiness.
VERY lightly drybrush with P3 Thrall Flesh (Zombie skin)

Titan Wings
Base with a single coat of thinned P3 Umbral Umber over a zenithal prime. I could see lots of the white showing through, but it was tinted brown.
Wash with Vallejo Black Ink thinned about 2:3 with Instar Water+. It’s like water, but better. Don’t ask me how. All I know is everyone swears they won’t go back to water after. Using water in a wash can lead to tide marks and I wanted to avoid that.
