The belt (and the one piece I can see I still have not painted properly!) is Dryad Bark.Ģ0. The Captain's badge is Balthazar Gold with Nuln Oil for shading.ġ9. The hair is a precise dry-brushing of Praxeti White over the top.ġ8. To colour the face I used one liberal layer of Gore Grunta Fur. The step that, I think, gave the armor a more cohesive look was to then go over it all with one more coat of Iyanden Yellow Contrast - everywhere except for the double crest on the breastplate.ġ7. I then dry-brushed the green stone edges with Moot Green to achieve the not quite glass finish.ġ6. This was done by coating the original yellow base with a couple of layers of Terradon Turquoise and Drakenhof Nightshade (not sure the latter brought much to the party tbh).ġ5. I like the effect I achieved with the green crystal / stone at the front. The sand highlight is a dry-brushing of Ulthuan Grey.ġ4. I then flooded the brush with more Agrax Earthshade and applied it liberally over the sand / debris and allowed to dry.ġ3. The rim is Fenrisian Grey, the sand / debris was glued and a long time allowed for it to dry - a few hours at minimum.ġ2.

I then dry brushed the armor edging with Hexos Palesun.ġ0.The cracks and crevices got one more go-over with Agrax Earthshade - more precise this time.ġ1.The base was then earthed and textured. The armor was then coated *just once* with Iyanden Yellow Contrast.ĩ. The shoulder edges are Evil Suns Scarlet.Ĩ. The cape is Mephiston Red with Kindleflame dry brushed highlights.ħ. A second coat was required, dry time is much faster here. After more time - a minimum of an hour to make sure all the crevices are dried out - I painted the majority of the wiring/tubing and mounted weapon with 5. Once thoroughly dry, I placed in a small capsule and washed with Agrax Earthshade.Ĥ. Gave it two thin coats with an hour dry time in between.ģ. Undercoated with a can of cheap yellow spray paint - cost me well under $10AUD.Ģ. Here is what I did to achieve this effect.ġ. Tor Garadon, Imperial Fist Captain & Champion of my 1st Company.
