Very Slow League of Infamy Project

The Drakon Handlers had been primed in week 7 with IDF Israeli Sand Grey Vallejo Surface Primer then Titanium White Liquitex Acrylic Ink was sprayed from above.

The skin followed the same method as the Elf Spearmen (weeks 21-23).

The weapon shaft and the hair used the same techniques as the arrows/bows and hair from the Elf Archers (weeks 19-20).

Horns were done using the same method as the Drakons.

Everything that was to be green, brown or fur was given a 1:3 Paynes Grey wash (1 drop of Daler Rowney FW Paynes Grey Ink to 3 drops of Wash Medium.  COGs https://www.beastsofwar.com/featured/gerry-can-how-to-make-diy-professional-washes/ ).  Followed by a drybrush of Pale Sand (Vallejo Model Color).

Black Green Ink (Vallejo Game Ink) was applied as a top layer for the tunic and the side pieces of the head piece.

Sepia Ink (Vallejo Game Ink) was applied to the fur followed be a selective drybrush of Pale Sand.

Chocolate Brown (Vallejo Model Color) mixed with Vallejo Glaze Medium was applied to the straps, belts, back of the boots  and trousers.  The trousers had the lightest of the glazes by spreading the glaze thinly. The Brown areas were then drybrushed with Pale Sand.

Any parts that were to be silver were blocked out in black, while the more copper parts were blocked out with Chocolate Brown.

Everything was gloss then matt varnished before the metallics were applied. Basing material was added and sealed between the gloss and matt varnish steps.

The silver parts were:

• A base coat of Gunmetal Grey (Vallejo Model Color) mixed with a touch of Panzer Dark Grey (Vallejo Game Air)
• Washed with Black Shade (FOW Vallejo)
• Given a broad Silver (Vallejo Game Color) mixed with a touch of White highlight
• Gold (Warpaints Army Painter) with a touch of Red Leather (Vallejo Model Color) was applied to raised parts of the armour.

The sort of copper parts were:

• Base coated Hammered Copper (Vallejo Game Color) with a touch of Dark Fleshtone (Vallejo Game Color)
• Bright Bronze (Vallejo Game Color) was added to the base coat mix to use as a highlight.
• Gold (Warpaints Army Painter) was added to the Bronze mix for a further highlight
• A heavy wash of Black Shade was applied
• Gold mixed with a small amount of Red Leather was used as a thick edge highlight

I’m fairly happy with how these turned out and will use similar techniques when I get around to the Northern Alliance miniatures I have for Vanguard, but will replace the green ink with blue ink as they have a blue theme.
