Crimson court strategy skin#

The rocks on the base were painted with Mechanicus Standard Grey, washed Nuln Oil, then highlighted with Dawnstone followed by Karak Stone. I wanted the face on the statue to have softer transitions. I used these same colors to highlight the statue, but did more of a gradual gradient, especially on the face, by watering it down more and doing successive glazes to get a smoother transition. Then I added even more Ulthuan Grey and just added dots onto the corners of the flagstones. First I mixed a little bit of Ulthuan Grey into the Incubi Darkness and picked out all of the edges. On the flagstone I did two highlight stages.

On the statue this was a bit more involved and was basically re-layering the color on, leaving the shade in the recesses. Next, I touched it back up with Incubi Darkness. On the flagstone I only painted this into the recesses. This then got an all over wash of Nuln Oil on the statue part and any rough rock areas.

The stone of the base was base coated with Incubi Darkness. The black fade on the wing 'arms' was done with a Black Templar/Contrast Medium mix and layered in a few steps to create a gradient. This then got a glaze of the Magos Purple mix from the inner membranes to give it a slight purple tint. I then highlighted the back of the membranes with Mechanicus Standard Grey, followed by Dawnstone, then Grey Seer. I also used this color to help line the edges of the inner membranes at the same time. For the back of the membranes I base coated them with Corvus Black. Lastly, I took the Nuln Oil mixture again and made a mottled pattern near the top and sides of each membrane.

I then highlighted the raised skin folds on the membrane with Grey Seer. I then did a few more layers of the Nuln Oil mixture toward the top, to darken it down a bit. Once this was dry I did a second coat, but only towards the sides of each membrane, leaving the middle alone. I then took a mix of Magos Purple and Contrast Medium and painted it all over the inner membrane. Do about two layers of this, getting more refined with each one. First, I started to create a gradient towards a darker color at the top using Nuln Oil and Lahmian Medium. It also received the same wash as the skin, and then got a second wash to darken it a bit more. For the inside membrane of the wing I base coated it at the same time as the skin. The gems were painted using these same colors, with dots of white for the reflection points.Д®nnias Curse-born has a pair of wings that are unique to him. This whole section involves quite a bit of blending, but the purples and blacks blend pretty smoothly. Finally, I used pure Dechalla Lilac for the most prominent parts of the folds and edges. I also added some scratches along the bottom to imply this is a heavier cloth or a leather. For an even brighter highlight I mixed some Dechalla Lilac into the Xereus Purple and picked out the edges and tops of the folds with a more refined line. The top third of the skirt was then blended into the Naggaroth Night using the same methods I used to blend the last two colors. I picked out the tops of the folds and edges with Xereus Purple, as well as the top third of the skirt. Next I started working on the highlights. No real trick here, just thin paints and patience. I did this just by using glazes of the two colors and going back and forth between them until I was happy with it.

You'll then have to spend a bit of time smoothing out the blend between the black areas and the Naggaroth Night. This was painted into the folds, and also along the bottom third of the skirt.

I then mixed Abaddon Black into this and watered it down a ton. I started off by base coating it with Naggaroth Night. The rest of my Death stuff uses purple as its unifying scheme, and I've really liked some Soulblight models I'd seen in the past with a purple and red combo. The next largest segment was his cloak/skirt.
