Done for today
Citadel/Texture:Armageddon Dust applies to bases. Edges painted Army Painter:Desert Yellow.
Pretty much done. Just need to drybrush the bases, add some flock or tufts and then varnish them.
Finishing touches
Nearly done. Raised areas of skin (kneecap, forearms, hands, nose, cheeks and chin) were given a coat of lightened cadian fleshtone.
A tiny bit of black was added to this and watered down for a stubble wash on chin and cheeks. I’m sure the grooming standard slipped a bit in the desert.
Eyes were shaded dark brown.
Metal?
Guns, bayonet hilts, canteens and goggles picked out with ArmyPainter/Warpaints: Gun Metal.
Then all the metal and the gun stocks inked with Citadel: Nuln Oil.
Tank
Waiting for the ink to dry. Time for a cuppa and to watch some more of the boot camp vlog.
Oh, and here’s a tank to keep @johnlyons happy.
Shading
Coat the whole mini in slightly thinned Citadel: Agrax Earthshade. (1part water to 2 parts of ink)
Or liquid talent as it should be known. This stuff hides a multitude of sins?
Highlights (sort of)
Dry brush very lightly all over with ModelColor: Pale Sand.
This combined with the ink wash should give sufficient shading for most of the details.
More colours
Citadel:Doombull brown for gun stocks and bayonet handles.
ModelColor: Pale Sand for neckscarves and rifle strap.
