Over the weekend we sat down with the Malifaux Starter Box and started painting some figures. That is to say, she painted some figures, while I helped show her how to paint. The main thing I drove home (as all veteran painters should know by now) was to thin the paints! She wouldn't want to have a clumpy dude and lose all that detail after all, so we started with the most basic of characters: the two Bloodwretch figures.
These were a great platform to learn on, and she took to it rather quickly. Here are the Games Workshop colors used, and how the effects were achieved.
Skin:
- Rakarth Flesh basecoat
- Reikland Fleshshade wash
- Rakarth Flesh heavy drybrush layer 1, hitting everywhere except the deep shades
- Pallid Wych Flesh drybrush layer 2, hitting the higher points
- White Scar light drybrush layer 3, hitting only the spots where light would be shining on the brightest
Shirt:
- Rakarth Flesh basecoat
- Athonian Camoshade wash
- Rakarth Flesh light drybrush
Pants and Horns:
- Zandri Dust basecoat
- Agrax Earthshade wash
Hair:
- Abaddon Black basecoat
- Dark Reaper light drybrush
Stains:
- 1 to 2 mix of Carroburg Crimson and Lahmian Medium wash, in strategic staining locations
Blood:
- Blood for the Blood God around the mouth and chin, then flicked on the shirt for effect
Expect to see more minis from the starter box painted coming soon!
(the Imperial Knight tutorial is on hold while I wait for the right LED's to come in)
