Skinks!! I don’t even remember the paint job, but it was pretty simple.
Hmmm, no, I remember a horrible story about glazing down to many times and ending up with super dark skinks and having a little panic and then rescuing them with bright colours.
These are my best skinks yet!
I haven’t painted Lizards in a long while. I could say that my Old Blood was the actual last one, but I don’t know if he counts, just because volume of models is an important factor.
Here’s a pile of skinks. 24 of them. My god that’s a lot of models.
I used the P3 White Primer on them, because I was near a shop that sold it and needed more primer. I don’t know if it’s the primer, or my application of it, but they are decidedly fuzzy in places. Disappointment.
For the basecoat, it’s just Codex Grey, Mephiston Red (definitely my favourite colour now), Dwarf Bronze, Snakebite Leather and Ushapti Bone. I slapped it on, and once again felt miserable about myself. Logic dictates that one day I’ll realize that they’ll look much better after washing, glazing, shading and highlighting, but in the meantime I just keep making myself feel bad about my basecoats.
I finished the smaller front part of the howdah tonight. No photos, it’s less interesting than the big section. 🙂
Started work on the crew and priest shortly after. Stuck to a piece of foam with blu-tac, they were painted Codex Gray and washed with Badab Black…to soon. Mephiston Red on the scales and Dwarf Bronze on the metal. I kind of want to wash the entire model with Badab…so now I wish I hadn’t done it to the skin already.
