Draconis: Spring Clean 2024 and onward
The remaining seven Madboyz
7th May 2024
I managed to work on the remaining seven without posting up more individual updates – I’m sure that’s a relief to those few that see these 😊
Anyway, these were all painted up in pretty much the same way as the first two. However, I was not overly happy with the contrast red result for the clothing. So I used Mephiston red, plus three shades of old foundry paint I have, the triad of ‘Madder Red’.
After working on them all I also then decided to add in some more yellow sleeves, so a couple that were red were overpainted with Foundry Ochre. It has good coverage and a nice yellow tone. I also added yellow flame markings to some of the remaining red sleeves to break them up a bit.
I had my usual trouble of trying to decide colours for the two hats…. After dithering I just decided to go off track with them thinking to my Hawaiian marauder. So one had a pink hat and one a pale blue.
Harking back to Rogue Trader era I chose to paint the power sword and the plasma gun in red, as that is how it was back in the day 😊
Lots of packs, tidying up, then faces and back plates and the last seven (unless I can get some more…) MadBoyz were done.
