Bring on the Blanchitsu

November 27, 2020

Racked up ready to paint. I wanted to paint them in such a way as to invoke the feeling of back-in-the-day John Blanche art. He uses a very sketchy style with a limited palette of mostly warm tones. So we will paint in that way - no neat blending or sharp edge highlighting here!

Some rusty weathering powder to add colour and give the effect that the robes were once red before they were bleached by the toxic underhive

And that’s basically it, save for some small details, blood splatter, bases etc.
