'Kharn the Betrayer' by Zordana

Description	:	This miniature was surprisingly fun to paint. I'm not a huge fan of 40k miniatures, but I have to say they are growing on me at an alarming rate. ;) Before painting Kharn I started by giving him a quick black glaze so I wouldn't need to do much blacklining. The armour was based in Scab Red mixed with a little black to make a really dark red. I then highlighted with Scab Red, followed by Bloody Red then a mix of Bloody Red and a wee bit of yellow. The gold trimming was gold darkened with a little tinny bits (or whatever that vgc dk brown metal colour is), then it was highlighted with gold, then gold with a bit of silver thrown in the mix. The skulls were done in my usual fashion, a base of Khaki, a glaze of brown+black ink, then a highlight of Bleached bone. Im pretty happy with the reds on this one, reds are a real pain to varnish and photograph so im stoked that you can still see most of the highlights :) Hope you like him.

Hey! Truly nice job here! You have hit the use of red abselutely spot on, I think! The overall feel and paintjob of the model is also outstanding!

Excellent job on the red. I like the arm vein too. I might drill out the barrel of the pistol or paint it like a gem depending on what you expect to come out of it. Nice work.
