Necrothrall does Marvel Crisis Protocol

I started painting Crossbones by painting his skin in much the same way I’ve been doing it all along.

Once I’d finished that I started painting his shirt and trousers.  I used dark reaper for the shirt and mechanicus standard grey for the trousers. I washed both with two coats of nuln oil and drybrushed them with the original base colour. I wanted them to be dark.

This is the final fine details step.  I mixed together some of the brass I used with a wee bit of chainmail and did a edge highlight to all the top edges of the brass parts.

I  highlighted the trousers by drybrushing them lightly with stormvermin fur and an even lighter coat of ivory.  The boots were done in the exact same way, except I started with German grey, followed  by stormvermin fur before a final very light drybrush of ivory.

From here out it was just painting the base.

This time I won’t accidentally hit the post button prematurely.

I blocked in the jacket and cuffs. Then I washed and highlighted them.

I painted the sword blade with chainmail from vallejo. I gave it a wash of nuln oil, then did and edge highlight with chainmail again.

I blocked in the furry parts of his jacket and cuffs with a light grey, washed them with a very light coat of agrax.  Then I carefully highlighted the fur with the same light grey.

For the trousers I opted for stormvermin fur, and for the boots I went for German Grey from vallejo.   I’ll go on to give these two coats of nuln oil.

I also painted the metallic bits on his head and the sword guard and pommel with a brass. These got a light wash of agrax.

Once again I started with a zenithal prime. I decided to do all the purple bits.

Love those fluorescent paints.

Next stage was the yellow. I blocked in my yellow, washed it with casendora yellow then lightly drybushed in some highlights. After that I tackled the arms and belt. These were based in chainmail from vallejo, which was washed with null oil. I thought about highlighting the metal further but I thought it looked good as is.

Now the fun bit, more fluorescent paint. I got these from greenstuff world and I’m loving them. I used a yellow fluor on the tentacle lasers and the energy doofer on his belly. There were a few raised round bits between his tentacles that I stuck a bit of red fluor on.

After that I did the base the same as the others.

I started with the face and hair. After that I went to block in the green, which I then washed with green. Then drybrushed up a few successive highlights. I also painted all the energy sources on him white, with the exception of the one on his belly. For this I used a very light grey and used whit for the middle. I painted his glasses with a dark grey. For the lenses I used flesh tearers red contrast and put a tiny dot of red fluorescent paint in them.

I then forgot to take any more work in progress pictures of him.
