Amallyn Shadowguide Part 2

I worked on the insides of the robes. I didn’t have all the colours from the web tutorial, so I improvised.

Layered with 2:1 Moot Green:Nurgling Green, then washed it (and the leather) with Agra’s Earthsade, then layered again with 2:1 Moot:Nurgling, then highlighted with 1:1 Moot:Nurgling before a final highlight of Nurgling Green.

I did a bit of work on the armour, firstly tidying up the basecoats before a later or Ulthuan Gray. Still needs another layer of Ulthuan to clean up the colour, and some of the fiddle bits near other colours aren’t yet started.

Overall, continuing well though.

Amallyn Shadowguide Part 1

I started the Blackstone Fortress painting off with Amallyn Shadowguide, predominately because it was the only model that didn’t need green stuff to cover some large gaps.

Basecoats are now down. Needs a bit if a tidy up, but I can now see what I’m doing.

Commissar

It’s been a while, but I’ve just picked up Blackstone Fortress for a family Christmas present and so I need to get back into painting again. I browsed through my shelves looking for an appropriate model and came across an old Commissar model I picked up second hand with an Imperial Guard army many years ago. What better way to get back into painting characters!

I started off with basecoats across the entire model, using Abbadon Black; Naggaroth night; Bugmans glow; Balthasar gold; Khorne red; Macragge blue; Leadbelcher; and Dryad bark.

Turns out I can still paint reasonably neatly, and mister Commissar is looking reasonably good after a first coat.

Next was the skin: Cadian fleshtone layer, shaded with Riekland flesh, highlight with Cadian flesh, then Kislev flesh.

I shaded the pants, boots and metallics with Nuln oil. Pants were then layered with The Fang; 1:1 Tge Fang to Fenrisian Gray, then final highlight with Fenrisian Grey. Sash was then layered with Xereus, Genestealer and Pink Horror.

The cape was layered with 1:1 Abbadon:Stormvermin, followed by 1:3 and then straight Stormvermin.

The edging was Xereus purple. No layers yet.

End of the night:
