Comrade James' mate Jase has provided us with the details of how he painted these hideous beauties:
Undercoat: spray black
Carapace:
Regal blue with Badab black wash went over drybush regal blue
1-1 Regal Blue And Ice Blue drybrush, highlight edges with Enchanted blue, Space Wolf Blue on bare edges
Body
Basecoat mix 1-1 warlock purple and hormagaunt purple, mix 1-1 black with lithe purple watered down as wash.
1-1 Hormagaunt purple and Space WOlves grey drybrush,
1-2 mix Hormagaunt and Space Wolves grey, lighter drybush
Space Wolves grey very light drybrush
Claws : black with fortress grey
Teeth : white
You know, 9 lines of isntructions is in no way going to ever enable to paint to this standard!!!! Will help me improve what I'm doing now though I think. Those GW washes are certainly the biz!
ReplyDeleteBut that extra introductory line makes all the difference :-) I agree though, those washes are great!
ReplyDeleteTo answer the question about the skulls, it depends on the level of depth you want, but its the following on the Brood Lord:
ReplyDeleteBase Coat of black
Heavy Dry Brush with Codex Grey
Light Dry Brush with 1:1 Codex/Fortress Grey
Badab Black Wash
Light Dry Brush with Fortress Grey, careful not to go into the crevices you just filled with Badab Black, and finally 2 dry brush coats a good hour apart of Skull White.
If you do 2 coats a bit lighter and wait for the first to dry, you get rid of the chalky look.
Cheers for the comments :)
Thanks for that Jase! Cheers
