Next Steps
So, we then begin highlighting.
Flesh – Dry Brush Evil Sunz Scarlet > Wild Rider Red highlights
Armour – Dark Reaper highlights > Thunderhawk Blue highlights >Nuln Oil to dampen down how bright they were
Mouth – Volpus Pink Contrast > Agrax Earthshade
Teeth > Corax White > Apothecary White thinned down with contrast medium
Eyes > Ianden Yellow Contrast
Spikes > Leadbelcher > Agrax Earthshade > Nuln Oil > dry brush with Ironbreaker.
Still got to finish the base and the weapons – and the wings!
Also got to tidy up his eyes and add a white scar highlight to the teeth.
The wings are huge and make the model a bit unmanageable to paint if you glue them on (at least that’s what I found).
They are coming a long however and once I buy some more super glue he should be finished.
Few interesting things to note on this.
- I had to pin the chunk of rubble he is standing on to the base – first time I have messed about with drilling and steel wire
- Also had to pin his whip together – its a night mare to get right
- I also thing I pinned the arm holding the whip on as well
Not going to lie this is a struggle to paint, because the model is so big and awkward to hold, I am keeping missing bits under the arms and legs, so I am constantly having to touch up armour panels, leather straps etc. When I do that I inadvertently touch the flesh with a brown paint or something and have to go back to tidying that!
This is awesome mate. He’s such a massive model and is going to make a great centrepiece. Reading his insane rampage in Echoes of Eternity has made him one of the coolest Chaos figures to me.
I really like the skin, not too dark and not super bright
thanks very much!
He is going to basically gather dust on a shelf in my display cabinet with the HH Primarchs!
I like the way his skin has turned out – particularly his right hand ha ha.
