Lupa15’s Cygnar

Started over the summer and I recently finished the last two with a small paint restock.  Here they are in their full undead glory.

It has been a while but I finally revisited the Arcane Tempest Gun mages.  Last I left off they had been based in Citadel Kantor Blue with a wash of Citadel Nuln Oil.

I started by layering some more Citadel Kantor Blue while leaving the shading in the recesses.  A highlight of Citadel Altdorf Guard Blue was used to lighten the dark blue of the coats while also tying it into what I want to paint the pants and arm sleeves.

While not pictured here I started by experimenting with a base coat of Citadel Altdorf Guard Blue and then washing it with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.
