JOA Peasants & Pastures - Unfinished Business
Getting started
Before tackling the Peasants I thought I would have a go at some animals. Cows seemed an easy choice so they were first out of the box.
I primed half with Army Painter Skeleton Bone and the other half with Halford’s Grey Primer. I then randomly washed them with either Contrasts Wyldwood or GW Black Ink in 50:50 mixes with Scalecolor’s Acrylic Thinners.
The cows were then dry brushed with a light grey mix.
At this point I wasn’t particularly happy with the colours. I took a drastic step and brushed on a good coat of Army Painters Soft Tone and then sprayed it with Army Painter’s Anti Shine. This was much better!
I dry brushed the bellies with Vallejo Luces Carne Highlights Flesh and painted the horns with the same colour.
I painted the bullocks forlocks Contrasts Apothecary White and then dry brushed with Vallejo Blanco.
The yokes were painted with Contrast Snakebite Leather and dry brushed with a light grey mix.
Finally I painted the bases with a diluted Contrast Wyldwood and added a basing mix using PVA. Then I added some clump foliage and a piece of root for a tree. After a splash of Isoproponol and watered down PVA to seal everything I sprinkled on some brighter green flock to add highlights.
