Resolution 2023: Race Against Raging Heroes

This ones a big model so I decided to try and copy Raging Heroe’s relatively simple render colour scheme. The guy next to him is a regular 28/32 mm human sized figure.

The base was talassar blue with a etherium blue drybrush.

The wings and column of spirit hands was painted plaguebearer flesh.

The red areas were painted blood angels red. The hat got a couple of layers of nuln oil  to give the faded to black effect.

The inner chest cavities were painted volupus pink.

The bone areas were painted skeleton horde then drybrushed tyrant skull.

The sword and chain were painted basilicanum grey then drubrushed necron compound.

The gold armour was painted snakebite leather  then drybrushed golden griffon.

The staff was painted apothecary white.

The gems were painted abaddon black, then runefang steel, then spiritstone red.

For this model I thought it would be nice to try a different style. I went for an all metallic look to reinforce the alien feel of the model.

First the entire model was painted leadbelcher, then drybrushed  ironbreaker followed by runefang steel.

Then the gun, sword and horns were painted skeleton horde.

The cape was painted blood angels red.

The armour was painted warp lightning.

Then the few gemstones were painted talassar blue.

The base was painted zandri dust, washed seraphim sepia, then drybrushed ushabti bone followed by screaming skull. The rim was painted abaddon black.

For the final model of the project I wanted to end on a bang and do a big model. So I went for this lovely goblin shaman riding giant troll.

I was going to just go with straight forward contrast paints, but while the wraithbone undercoat was drying I was reading the latest White Dwarf and in it there was an article on zenith undercoats. In it they also mentioned reverse zeniths, which I had not come across before. This is where you start with a bright undercoat then apply grey and black as the zenith. This gives the impression of the model being lit from below, rather than above. I decided to give this a go so when the undercoat was done I gave it zenithal highlight with greyseer followed by chaos black.

The troll skin was painted iyanden yellow.

The wooden axe shaft was painted wyldwood then drybrushed zamesi desert.

The strips of cloth and the goblin’s robes were painted dark angels red.

The stone was painted basilicanum grey  then drybrushed administratum grey.

The horns and tusks were painted skeleton horde.

The axe/hammer head and crystals on the base were painted aethermatic blue then drybrushed white scar.

The goblin’s skin was painted ork flesh.

The wisps of smoke were pianted plaguebearer flesh.

The ropes were painted snakebite leather.

The troll beard was painted apthecary white.

The mushrooms were painted volupus pink.

The base was painted talassar blue then drybrushed white scar.

The metal areas were re-undercoated abaddon black, then painted leadbelcher, then highlighted with ironbreaker followed by runefang steel.

The trolls iris’ were painted moot green.
