Details: I painted two additional troopers as part of this unit (points not included in the 236) . This way I can field the unit with or without the Censer Bearers to surprise my opponent. I attempted to keep my color choices close to the old White Dwarf and 4th ed printed examples. The colors are bright with a mix of Yellow, Purple, Blue and Red. Paints : The army was spray primered Army Painter Leather Brown. I brushed on Citadel foundation paints, Vallejo Game color, Game color Air, and Army Painter washes. I paint with Zem brushes (3200 Kolinsky sable) and a synthetic brush for washes. I tried two new techniques with this unit. First, using a gloss over gloss technique on my washes. Second, to get the highlights bright I first highlighted with bleached bone and then painted on the Game color Air covering the bleached bone. The swords have a final edge highlight of Vallejo model color fluorescent green.
I've never thought of plague monks as being really colourful but it does work!
ReplyDeleteNice rats, I like the warpstone effect on the blades and censers!
ReplyDeleteNice work on these. The bright colours, whilst a bit unusual for skaven (well how one usually sees them painted), work really well.
