Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

One guy who’s been sitting on my painting table for a while is Leman Russ, I’ve been a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to do him justice.  I finally plucked up the courage last weekend and went for it.

I used the same technique for my Space Wolves (I’ll post up a project blog at some point), which basically involved spraying with mech standard grey and then working up the shades with a drybrush.  Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of him in production but I’ll pick out some areas and how I did them.

Hair – done with Zandri Dust and then a wash of agrax earthshade.
Gold – burnished gold with army painters strong tone to give it some depth.
Face – Bugmans glow, cadian fleshtone, wash of reikland fleshshade
Base – zandri dust for the rock with brown army painter wash, the pedestals and floor are done with a heavy drybrush of ushabti bone. Pastel blue detail is Nihilakh Oxide
Furs – Rhinox hide base, scorched brown drybrush, calthan brown drybrush and finally a zandri dust drybrush

 

 

I’m very pleased with how he’s turned out and so glad I found the time to give him a go.  Certainly not the best painting ever but it’s a nice and quick scheme and give great results.
