Draconis does….. The Silver Bayonet
Marcea Lupul
3rd October 2025
Earlier this week I painted up this chap. Since I don’t plan to play the competitive scenarios I will probably use him as a vampire, or Briganti Lord or suchlike. However, I really like the model so wanted to get him.
Started out with the usual zenithal prime.
I liked the studio scheme of mainly red and black/grey, so decided to emulate that to some extent. I used Flesh Tearer contrast for the red and mixed up some black and blue for the sash and tabard. The cloak was done in a dark(ish) grey. The fur was painted using grey and brown contrast mixed.
I then highlighted up the bits, pushing the highlights up further on the cloak bottom and edges and on the tabard corners and sash middle. Again I am trying to push these further than I normally would, to get a bit more pop.
Onto the rest then. Hair was black, picked out skin, teeth (a red wash in the mouth). The main thing here that I was happy with was the gem on the chest armour. Then some gloss onto the black leather areas, some basing and he was done.
