One of my favourite Warmachine minis. It was also good opportunity to test Reaper Master Series paints. After zenithal basecoating the model I`ve started with the part I like painting the most - face. I mixed Reaper MS fair skintone shadow with citadel dark flesh and used it as a base colour (IMHO this MS set is too light so I`ve darkened it with dark flesh). Next coat was pure fair skintone shadow. Then I`ve started highlighting with fair skintone and a little touch of fair skintone highlight. as I wanted to give the modela a bit of winter theme I mixed fair skintone with citadel blood red and glazed areas around cheeks.
after a year of painting only nmm I`ve decided to try out metallics on this one. The result cost me my nerves - that may sound strange but it seems i forgot how to use those metallic paints!
for the reds I`ve used reaper ms deep red, ms blood red and citadel blood red.
for greens - citadel catachan green highlighted with a strange pinkish skintone colour. it "broke" the colour nicely, so I got "worn uniform" colour I wanted.
for the base I`ve used broken cd for the stone plates and baking soda for snow. i`ve also wanted to give it an extra touch and i thought that some icicles would look nice. at first i wondered how to make them but then i came with an idea to use hot glue gun and it worked. |
