Speaking of which—new book comes out next week from Broadway
Paperbacks. Ex-Purgatory,
fourth in the Ex-Heroes series.
Check it out in whatever format you like from your preferred
bookseller. It’s a (hopefully) fun read
and you can passively support this page at the same time.
Anyway, Flayed Ones.
Now in color.
As I’ve said before, I’m not the greatest painter,
but here’s what worked for me. I primed
them black and then hit them with an aluminum chrome spray paint I’ve used on
all my Necrons. It’s quick and fast and
I like the shine white-silver shine it gives them. I’ll probably take these guys down a bit with
a drybrush of Boltgun a.k.a. Leadbelcher.
These are just base colors, mind you but hopefully they’ll give you a sense of
how the whole thing will turn out. I
added Abbadon Black on the thighs, upper arms, and spine. The skin’s all Kislev Flesh, but I’ll be
making some distinctions with my next pass.
I dabbed the last of my red gore on the mouths and also under the
ribcage, as if all the blood and flesh is leaking down through. I also ran a bit of it along the edges of the
skin flaps and on some of the blades.
All the assorted skulls and bones got a base of dark flesh. I also realized most of my browns have dried up... Good thing I'm going to the store tomorrow. |
| Skin is like a beer label. The goal is to get it all off in one piece... |
With my next pass I want to add some brighter blood. I’ll drybrush the bones, too, and bring the
bases in line with the rest of my Necrons.
Next... I’m going to try to push my plastic models over to
the Relictors page I set up, so here I can focus on the Paperhammer Destroyer I
want to try. Mostly because I’ve wanted
to do it for ages and (if rumors are true) I might get it done just as GW
releases a plastic model for it.
