Resolution 2023: Race Against Raging Heroes
Raijin, God of Thunder
Another “ogre” sized model that I enjoyed painting. I also found the model interesting because I haven’t really done oriental style models before. I went for a strong blue red yellow triadic colour scheme.
The skin was painted caledor skye, then washed drakenhof nightshade, then highlighted teclis blue followed by lothern blue.
The red was khorne red, washed carroburg crimson, and then highlighted with a 50-50 mix of evil sunz scarlet and khorne red.
The wood of the drums was painted xv-88, washed seraphim sepia, then streaks of balor brown were added to give a wood grain appearance. These were highlighted zamesi desert.
The drum skins were painted steel legion drab, then washed seraphim sepia, then painted tallarn sand, karak stone and then finally screaming skull.
The hair was painted corvus black then highlighted russ grey.
The gold was painted retributor armour, washed seraphim sepia, then highlighted auric armour gold followed by runefang steel.
The base was painted with a variety of contrast paints.
