I finished my Skaven jezzail team
yesterday (yay!) and instead of just dropping a picture of the finished models,
I thought I’d do a quick step-by-step.
Afterwards I wash the models with
Army Painter Dark Wash and then apply a very rough drybrush in white to bring
out the detail and aid with shading.
I then apply a coat of ink to the fur,
wood, leather, warpstone bullets (at least, that’s what I imagine he’s got in
the sack) and clothes as a base coat. I’ve tried this with the fur before, and
I think it works, but as you can see, the red ink doesn’t cover very well – especially
on the raised areas (I’d sort of hoped that the white drybrush would help, but
it obviously didn’t).
To salvage things, I gave the red
areas a couple of layers of P3 Brown Ink. It worked out fairly well, but in the
future I think I’ll just give the red clothes a proper base coat.
I then drybrushed the fur and clothes
in lighter tones of brown/red – both to add some further highlighting and to
take the shine off the models.
After that, I did some detailing
work and gave the skin and wood some extra highlights in different tones of
brown to differentiate it from the fur.
Lastly, I painted the metal and
leather. Metal gets a base color, followed by an ink wash and a quick highlight,
while I paint leather by washing a base layer of light brown with sepia wash (I can’t remember the name
right now – It’s an old GW one), then highlighting a couple of times by mixing
the base color with more and more ivory, and finally giving it an extra sepia
wash.
Oh well… They’ll hopefully look good
alongside the rest of my painted Skaven. I’ll have to do a “group photo” at
some point.
