15. Bases - Base Colours
I used Heavy Brown for the stones and the undergrowth. Then I mixed it with Medium Grey in a 50/50 ratio to increase the brightness a bit. I also washed the skulls with Seraphon Sepia.
16. Bases - Washes
Athonian Camoshade was used to Wash the Undergrowth. Agrax Earthshade for the skulls eye sockets and the rest of the surface.
17. Bases - Drybrush
I used the mix of Heavy Brown / Middle Grey again for a light Drybrush.
18. Bases - Familiar
I highlighted the little Familiar with Luftwaffe Uniform and painted its eyes in the glowing blue.
19. Bases - Skulls
The skulls received a light highlight with Bonewhite.
With that done the painting is completed.
20. Pigments
As a finishing touch, I added some Pigments on the bases surface. I applied them dry straight from the pot. First a layer of Sierra Natural the some spots with Light Sierra.
Afterwards I mixed and spread them with a brush and removed the excess.
To fix the pigments I used a Pigment Fixer. Just take a brush (I recommend a bigger one) and carefully tip on a point of the base. The capillary action will do the rest :-). Repeat this till the whole surface looks wet.
Just let it dry completely and paint the rim of the bases in a desired colour.
1. My self-build wet palette
2. DaVinci Drybrush
3. Revell Size 3 for Shades and the Pigment Fixer
4. Revell Size 1 for Shades
5. Citadel Layer M for the Base Colours
6. Citadel Layer S for everthing else
7. Old Citadel Layer M for the Dry Pigments
I can't finish this painting guide without a picture of the finished work. So, here is the 1st wave of my new Warband in all its glory. There will be a separat post with more photos soon.
As always, thank you very much for your visit, feel welcome to comment and stay tuned!
