Lupa15's Warhammer Underworlds

I took a break and visited my mother on Christmas (after a self-isolation period of course) but needed a project that didn’t require a ton of concentration.  So I took Ironsoul’s Contemptors, Stormsire’s Cursebreakers and Steelheart’s gang and started painting them with Screamer Pink.

After dedicating myself to finish as much as possible I have Ironsoul’s Contemptors completely finished!!!

I used the scheme of the Celestial Warbringers as I was never happy with the all gold and blue scheme that the Hammers of Sigmar are in.

Armour

• Base the armor in Citadel Screamer Pink over a light grey or Citadel Mechanicus Standard Grey undercoat.
• Wash with Citadel Druchii Violet
• Leaving the wash in the recesses layer up the Citadel Screamer Pink.
• Highlight the edges of the armor with Citadel Pink Horror
• Focusing on the sharpest points highlight again with Citadel Emperor’s Children

Gold

• Base with Citadel Balthasar Gold
• Wash with Citadel Reikland Fleshshade
• Leaving the wash in the recesses layer with Citadel Balthasar Gold
• Highlight with Citadel Gehenna’s Gold

Silver Metal

• Base with Citadel Leadbelcher
• Wash with Citadel Nuln Oil
• Highlight with Citadel Ironbreaker
• Edge Highlight with Citadel Runefang Steel

White Armor

Now I messed this up  at first and had to put too many layers of the Celestra Grey on and it kind of came out a little rough as a result.

• Base with Citadel Celestra Grey
• Wash in only the recessed armor details (like the rays of sun with Citadel Nuln Oil before cleaning up with the basecoat.
• Layer with Citadel Ulthuan Grey leaving the Celestra Grey showing in the recesses.
• Highlight the edges with Citadel White Scar

Blue Cloth

• Base with Citadel Macragge Blue
• Wash with Citadel Nuln Oil
• Leaving the wash in the recesses layer up with Citadel Macragge Blue again
• Highlight various areas with Citadel Altdorf Guard Blue
• Highlight the edges of the cloth with Citadel Calgar Blue

Black Leather

I kind of deviated from the Abaddon Black here and went with a base of Citadel Corvus Black and Citadel Nuln Oil to shade it.  This honestly provides a little more contrast before highlighting.

• Highlight with Citadel Dark Reaper
• Edge highlight the sharpest edges with Citadel Thunderhawk Blue

Cream Tabbard

• Base with Citadel Rakarth Flesh
• Wash the whole cloth with Citadel Seraphim Sepia
• Layer back up to Citadel Rakarth Flesh leaving the Seraphim Sepia in the recesses
• Highlight the sharpest edges of the cloth with Citadel Pallid Wych Flesh

Jewels

• Base with Citadel Thousand Sons Blue
• Highlight the edges with Citadel Ahriman Blue
• On the raised points and sharper edges highlight with Citadel Fenrisian Grey
