Choosing a mini

The form is all based on ‘horse riding stance’ and has the power of a horse.

It was bit tricky to come up with a mini for an Iron Horse however.

I could have done an armoured horse – but I found a unicorn from Reaper Mini’s sooo….iron horn horse it was to be!

I believe there are three Naihanchi forms. The one I’m learning is here if you are interested. (It’s not me!)

Painting!

The first base coloursThe first base colours

Added the base colours using contrast paints:

  • Snakebite Leather for the body
  • Black Templar for the mane and tail
  • Apothecary white for the hoof hair.
Next stepsNext steps

Used contrast skeleton horde on hoofs, and Leadbelcher on the horn aiming for an iron colour eventually.

Added another layer of Snakebite Leather to the body and Black Templar to mane and tail.

Finished on the horse Finished on the horse

Made a ligher area on the nose and above eye with a couple of layers of wraithbone.

Shaded the horn with Nuln Oil and shaded the hoofs, white hoof hair and light areas on face with Agrax Earthshade.

Just finished off things with a very light Tyrant Skull dry brush highlight on everything bar the horn, with a dry brush of leadbelcher on the horn.

And finally… re-did the eyes with Wraithbone base and then Volupus Pink, which I really like but can’t get a great picture of!

Next I need a base… Another entry to come later.
