After the Seraphim Sepia and Nuln oil layer, it was time to add some colour and contrast back in. I started with a simple highlight of Mithril Silver over the gold edges and the models immediately popped a lot more.
I took some Amethyst to the undersides of things, and again in the recesses to try to keep some interest there.
The banners and fabric had a couple layers of Bloodletter glaze applied, in striped patterns on the banner and on the raised areas on the cloth. The banners I went over again with Lamenters Yellow glaze to start a star pattern, then did some more opaque layers with Vallejo Moon Yellow.
The sword was annoying, because I wanted it “bronze” but a different colour from the rest of the armour. I started by wet brushing with Mithril Silver with the edge, the tip pointing towards the edge of the blade. This looked like ass, so I tried to make some “distressed” areas by using Bloodletter and Amethyst, but that didn’t help. I used Blood for the Blood God, smearing it around to cover up some of the bad areas. Lastly, I stippled on Mournfang Brown and then wiped it away/around with a finger and I think they have enough going on to be interesting, and not terrible.
