Painting Warploque Halflings

To start off I wanted the general to have a decent base.  After seeing what warren did recently with his chaos and the castle walls I decided to add a fence.

I had a load of coffee stirers left over from my son’s project last yeat so I just cut one up, stuck it to a few bits of kebab skewers and boom! a fence.

I added a few bushes and grass tufts to the back end as it was wasted space otherwise.  In the front area I left a little gap for the general.

The next step was the General himself.

I started by basecoating white with an army painter rattle can.

The eyes are done by first painting black, I then paint a small white line accross the eyes adding andot of black for the iris.  For a tabletop gaming mini this works really well.

The face was done the same as previous halfings with bugmans  glow first and a lightlight of cadian fleshtone. It was then finished with rikeland fleshshade.

Next was the clothing.

I started with the cloak.  This was done with khorn red and a highlight of mephiston red

The trousers and undershirt were done with stegadon scale green

I think he’s then got a gambon or something similar under his plate armour.  I stuck with the paint scheme of the troops and went with his right side dark angels green with a moot green highlight and zandri dust on his left hand side.

The feather was also done with stegadon scale green and then highlighted with temple guard blue.

One of the final steps was the metals.  This was fairly simple as it was pretty much the only bits that weren’t painted.

The main chest plate was done chainmail silver, the pouldrons liberator gold.  I then did a few of the smaller details as gold too.

I also decided to go with silver for this helmet, I’m not sure whether it is a helmet or a hat but it looks good as a helmet so I’ll go with that.

The final part was adding the shade.  To do this I gave the model a complete coat of army painters dark tone.

This brought all the colours together nicely.
