Next on the list are the Draugr from Bleak Falls Barrow Delve set. I was worried these would be fairly tricky and time consuming to paint (mainly the Overlord). But once I got started and worked out the colours I wanted to use, they were actually fairly quick to paint.

The first step was to get the skin done. For this the models were based using Doombull brown, before being dry-brushed with Kislev flesh.

Once that was done, it was time to get the base colours in for all the details. Cloth areas and hair were re-painted with Doombull Brown, loincloth parts were painted using Ionrach Skin. Any metellic areas were based using dryad bark (the plan being to use my method for achieving my Ancient Nord Iron look as used with the Skeleton Archers, and finally any fur on the Overlord was painted with Steel Legion Drab. Meanwhile the base was done using the same method as per my previous post (brown base & XV-88).

The metallic areas were then highlighted with Brass Scorpion and Leadbelcher. I went a bit heavier with the Leadbelcher on the sword blades. The next step was then to cover the whole model in an Agrax Earthshade wash.

Once the wash had dried, the base was drybrushed with Screaming Skull and the fur on the overlord was also highlighted with that. The hair was highlighted with Jokaero orange, and finally the base rims painted black.

The next post will be of the Dragonborn which will finish off the Bleak Falls Barrow delve set.
