Neimoidian Hostage

February 6, 2021

The Neimoidian Hostage from the Vital Assets Expansion was a really simple paint job. It was so quick I didn’t think to take any photos along the way! I gave the robes two coats of Contrast Blood Angels Red, thinned with Medium. A single coat of Balthasar Blue was used for the collar and the straps that run across his chest. As I didn’t have a purple the two previous colours were mixed in roughly equal quantities, with Sokol of medium, for the purple under cloak.

The hat was Black Templar. The face and hands were done by thinning the Vallejo Field Blue with water and wash medium, to create a wash. This was applied directly over the Wraithbone primer in a couple of thin coats. I used Darkenhof Nightshade wash on all areas of the robes and used it sparingly around the eyes and wherever the skin met the costume. The eyes were simply washed with Soft Tone to the desired colour. (Gryphon Sepia would achieve the same result). A little Gold was used along the hem of the robe.
