Guardsmen, the core fighting unit of the Lannister army. There’s two units in the starter set, and I started painting from these. The colour and technique choices here defined the whole project, for the rest of the army I stuck to the same pallette.

Primer and pre-shading:

I started off from black primer, airbrushed on. Considering the red and gold paint scheme, I did the pre-shade zenith with Vallejo Model Air Aged White. It’s an off white, creamy colour.

Red:

– Citadel Contrast Blood Angels Red

First time trying out the Contrast paints, I went with the Contrast Blood Angels Red. It’s absolutely fantastic paint, works well over the pre-shaded figures as I’m sure it does also for flat primer. I highlighted and shaded it a bit on characters and some individual models where I felt like it, but mostly the reds are just pre-shade and Contrast.

Gold:

my trusty trio of

– Vallejo Model Colour Ochre Brown

– Vallejo Model Colour Yellow Ochre

– Scale75 Tenere Yellow (or VMC Ice Yellow, which I ran out and replaced with S75)

Black:

– Contrast Black Templar

Armour:

– Black and Citadel Nuln Oil Shading

– Vallejo Model Colour Offwhite and Army Painter White for highlights.

Skin:

Either

– Army Painter Barbarian Flesh

– Citadel Contrast Guilliman Flesh

– Highlights: AP Barbarian flesh with VMC Deck Tan.

 

Leathers:

– Army Painter Leather Brown

– Citadel Agrax Earthshade wash

– AP Leather Brown mixed with VMC Deck Tan for the models I bothered to highlight.
