Materials Used:
- P3 Paints: Iosen Green, Morrow White
- Games Workshop Paints: Orruk Flesh, Skarsnik Green, Balor Brown, Morghast Bone, Screaming Skull, Skeleton Horde (Contrast), Sotek Green, Khorne Red, Doombull Brown, Skavenblight Dinge, Daemonette Hide
- Vallejo: Neutral Grey
Step 1: Priming and Initial Coat
- Prime the model black.
- Apply a quick coat of Vallejo Neutral Grey using an airbrush to slightly dust the model.
Step 2: Base Colours
- Use P3 Iosen Green for the skin, applying with a size 2 artist Opus brush for a smooth finish.
- Paint the robes with Daemonette Hide, using the same size 2 brush.
- Apply Balor Brown to bone parts, teeth, eyes, and rope.
- Use Doombull Brown for wooden parts like weapon handles.
Step 3: Contrasting and Highlighting
- Apply a coat of GW Skeleton Horde contrast paint, especially on bone areas. This may darken the model, so adjust accordingly.
- Use Neutral Grey for metallic parts like the sickle, creating a non-metallic metal effect with scratchy marks.
- Highlight the bone parts, starting with Morghast Bone, progressing to Screaming Skull, and then white for the brightest highlights.
- Add texture and details to the metallic parts using a mixture of Neutral Grey and white.
Step 4: Detailing
- Paint the eyes with a base of Balor Brown, followed by a black circle and a small white dot for the pupil.
- Highlight the teeth, starting with Morghast Bone and progressing to white on the tips.
- For the skin, use a mixture of GW Orruk Flesh and Skarsnik Green, with added white for bright highlights.
- Apply red detailing, like Khorne Red, on the flying squigs and other accent areas.
- Highlight the green skin further using GW Orruk Flesh mixed with Skarsnik Green and white for higher contrast.
- Add touches of red on scars and the tip of the nose for character.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- To reduce shininess and prepare for further detailing, apply a coat of matte varnish.
- In the next painting session, we will focus on adding more detailed textures and highlights to enhance the character of the model.
