For my Dread Pageant Chaos Warrior, I wanted to paint the model in purely black and white so that you have to use light volumes and textures to separate the surfaces out, rather than relying on colour.

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

Paints Used:

Vallejo: Black, German Grey, Basalt Grey, Neutral Grey, Dark Sea Grey, Pale Grey Blue, White Grey
P3: Morrow White Alternatively you can mix a series of greys from light to dark using just black and white paint.

Base

The following paints were used
Vallejo: Heavy Brown, Gold Brown, Ice Yellow, Black
Games Workshop: Contrast Guilliman Flesh, Balor Brown, Ushabti Bone
P3: Morrow White
Greenstuff World: Grass Tufts – DRY

The cruel-hearted leader of a warband of Godseekers dedicated to finding Slaanesh, Vasillac stumbled across Beastgrave and became obsessed with the delicious despair of the living mountain. After a lifetime of pushing his own limits, only the most extreme and exquisite pain can excite him. His extensive and intricate scars attest to the severity of his affliction, including a ring bound through his wrist – mere flesh piercings are for the weak! 

In the official painted version of the Dread Pageant Chaos Warrior, the gaudy workmanship of his weapons and armour, bedecked with baubles and trinkets, signals his vainglory, while in mine we are going to go completely black and white.
