…I had wanted this to be published on the 7th, so maybe I could get some feedback on it. Apparently I missed the publish button. >.>
I saw a video a few months back showing someone locally using the new GW Agrellan Earth technical paint to create a seriously badass lava base. Since lava bases are my thing, I picked up a bottle and then prompted started painting Malifaux, with zero lava.
OFCC is in 3 weeks, and I have a list of things that still need doing – including making a new base for a skink priest. The priest from my stegadon is on pins, and is getting a shiny new base since I need priests, and Engine’s of the Gods aren’t really great anymore.
I started by painting Vallejo Black Lava texture paint onto a 20mm base. In the end, this wasn’t super necessary, but it does make the end result have a little different levels to it.
I painted a sloppy mixture of Mephiston Red, Blazing Orange and Sunburst Yellow on it.
Then I painted the Agrellan Earth, noting that I’d really just painted a brown slop over my yellow. >.>
When it dried, it looked ok, but not nearly as stunning as some examples I’ve seen. I did some wetbrushing with Chaos Black.
I watered down some yellow and orange and painted it again. Because of the heavy water content, it slipped into the cracks easily. It was on top as well, but after I was done with my water mixture I went back and wetbrushed the Chaos Black again, and it got a little brighter.
If I could get the kind of separation as the example, I’d be a lot happier. Anyone have any experience with it?
