The Path of Kane
Painting Prudence
Prudence was given a coat of dark blue and highlighted following the same process as Temperance – See http://legamingdude.com/painting-temperance/ or the previous entry.
The challenge with Patience is her base as the tentacles are very distinct from the rest of the miniature and thus require a separate treatment. I chose to apply a GW Contrast Purple for the bottom of the tentacle and a GW COntrast Grey for the top. I suggest diluting both with GW Contrast Medium (not water).
I then highlighted the scales with a progressively pallerer blue, using any medium blue in your collection, progressively highting it with white and dry brushing it with a small dry brush (I love the GW small dry brush for these jobs). You may want to highlight some of the moire light-exposed scale edges with a fine brush and pure white.
I then applied a diluted wash of GW Drakenhof Nightshade.
In order to create a subtle contrast on the dress and sash without destroying the airbrush highlights, I applied two diluted glazes of green, one GW Loren FOrest to the sash and one GW Kabalite Green to the dress. Make sure the effect is subtle and do not let it pool in the crevices.
I decided to contrast the metallic part by using GW Leadbelcher on the dress decorations and GW Runelord Brass on the base shield links and the medallion. Be careful when applying the paint so as not to alter the environing garments and base components. Less is more as you are just going for a glint aspect rather than plain coverage.
Then cover all metallic parts with GW Nuln Oil Gloss.
Highlight the metallic aras most exposed to light with the previous metallic color, or ven a lighter metallic tone such as GW Ironbreaker (for the Leadbelcher parts).
For the belt and corset ties, I chose GWE Incubi Darkness for its proximity to the original garment color and washed it with GW Nuln Oil. You can provide highlight with a medium-light grey such as GW Dawnstone.
Prudence is now ready to join Temperance…
Was tempted to back this, but sense and lack of money got the better of me, loving the paint jobs on these – a nice mixture of stone like and magical – that blue is a wonderful colour.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂 I agree with you that sense should have inclined me not to back this project, given the stories are mostly one shot (ifd one selects an identical path each time). Of course the ability to play Darkness elevates the replayability. Yet, having been a fan of REH since childhood, and in particular of Solomon Kane, I could not let this project pass. The miniatures are also very finely sculpted and one only needs a few to run a story, thus making this project a nice ongoing break in the midst of others (such… Read more »
