Dan's 2024 Side Projects
Shilluk Characters
Before painting these models I did a little research on the Shilluk. These are a tribe that are native to the upper Nile region of Africa. They have a strong warrior culture history. I found a few pictures online to guide my painting.
The skin was painted dryad bark, washed agrax earthshade, then highlighted gorthor brown followed by baneblade brown.
The spears were painted zandri dust, washed agrax earthshade, then layered ushabti bone followed by screaming skull.
The shields were painted steel legion drab, washed agrax earthshade, then dry brushed tallarn sand followed by karak stone.
The hair was painted corvus black.
The bits of cloth were painted pink horror and then washed druchii violet.
The bases were painted rakarth flesh then dry brushed flayed one flesh.

Good on you with the research. Pictures help so much to look back at when needing that extra oomph on a project.
