The Burning Shore is a tale of the Seraphon in the Old World, following a Bretonnian scoundrel looking to escape his debts by boarding a ship to Lustria, only to find himself swept up in a hunt for forgotten lore. With so many other projects on at the moment, I decided to do a test, so I’ve only just finished my first knight. I’m pleased with how he has turned out and I’m looking forward to painting up the others! Paint the base white/Wraithbone. Cover the base in Citadel Blood Angels Red Contrast (I lied about not using it, at least on the bases). While the paint is wet, bleed in some Citadel Troll Slayer Orange and stir it in places to give some variation to the red. I’d been looking forward to getting my hands on the Lumineth models ever since I learnt they were on their way to the Mortal Realms, and they do not disappoint! The sculpts are fantastic. I keep discovering little details, like the heel down position of the Vanari Dawnriders, which really emphasise what a sophisticated and well-trained force they are. The Daemons of Slaanesh are twisted representations of desire and perversion, often intersexed and with lithe forms that move in beguiling ways. The daemons of Slaanesh thrive on temptation and obsession, feeding on mortals’ pride.
After googling Slaanesh art (… it was actually art, get your mind out of the gutter), I came up with some eyes and a mouth I liked. Due to the layout of the mirror and to be extra spooky, I decided to have the eye down low and the mouth up top. You can do literally anything and justify it as “Chaos”. I followed the principles for freehand from our own Free-Hand Guide and it was incredibly useful. Who knew GoonHammer made useful content?? Thin down Citadel Druchii Violet with Citadel Lahmian Medium 1:4 (1 part shade to 4 parts medium), and add a drop or two of water too. Cover the Wraithbone primer (which should just be the skin at this point) and the recesses of the silver areas. I saved some of this mixture in an empty pot for other projects, much like my Nurgle flesh wash. Since I usually go for darker colour schemes, I wanted to do something bright with lots of colours. After a few thoughts about the Realm of Light, I ended up wanting to paint rainbow blends. Since the plumes and horsehair are so colourful, the other areas had to be quite plain so I used white, gold and dark blue.The Lumineth Realm-lords Army Set has been a renaissance for aelf fans, with hundreds building, painting, and playing their first games with this incredible new army. Today, we’re looking at three particularly incredible fledgling collections from folks who work in the Warhammer Community team and the Warhammer Age of Sigmar studio… Darcy Rowley – High Warden of Scheduling Step 1: I start by doing a base coat of Leadbelcher all over the main parts of the body that won’t be red. My reds have pretty good coverage, so I can afford to be a bit sloppy here. I also want to get the spots on the head where the mask is broken. Thin down Citadel Wraithbone and add Citadel Lahmian medium so you have a usable translucent beige. Apply this on the flat parts of the skin e.g. the tops of arms, shoulders, cheeks, foreheads etc…
Pretty much the entirety of this step is coating the areas you want colourshifted with your paint of choice. When I did the Epitome above I used GreenStuffWorld’s Pinky Blue, but since I can’t condone that company any more I recommend Turbo Dork’s 3D Glasses, or any similar pink/purple/blue gradient. I’ve built up a couple of wardens and the Light of Eltharion now, so they’re next on the list. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on a Spirit of the Mountain though! Runefang Steel– A bright silver metallic color that creates a striking highlight when used with Akhelian Green. It can be used for detailing or as a highlight color. I use some very straightforward techniques, since I’m primarily focused on getting things to a tabletop standard ASAP. For the Necron Warriors I went with a really simple scheme that can be easily replicated across a large number of models. Metal bodies, Red chests/shoulders/helmets. It’s roughly a 9-to-12 step process.
Word Bearers
And that’s the finished Necron Warrior! This was pretty fast and easy to do, and I’m very happy with the result. Despite using bright colors, they come across appropriately menacing, which is the goal. The Characters You can draw primarily from Alligators and Crocodiles if you want, but you’ll find that a lot of those tend to be fairly drab compared to what Age of Sigmar armies tend to demand from a visual standpoint. Instead, I’d recommend looking at other reptiles and small lizards such as snakes and chameleons. Generally speaking, reptiles tend to be drab in color to blend in with their surroundings, either to protect them from predators or hide them from prey until it’s too late. There are however many brightly-colored reptiles out there; many of these are poisonous, and the color helps communicate that to potential predators.
Layer Citadel Thousand Sons Blue and Citadel Baharroth Blue over the blue parts, with a final line of Citadel Blue Horror at select places (most raised edge of creases etc…). Use the same colours on the leather / incubi areas but skip the Blue Horror stage. The other major difference between my characters and my rank-and-file jerks is that my character Necrons have orange hyperphase weapons. These took a bit of trial-and-error to figure out before I got a process for doing them that wasn’t particularly hateful. If you’re looking to read more about the depraved followers of Slaanesh and her daemons, consider the following books: I wanted the bases to really contrast with the bright, warm colours I had used on the models, so I used Astrogranite, Astrogranite Debris and layers of PVA glue to create a cold, barren shoreline. A few layers of Stegadon Scale Green and Ahriman Blue in between the PVA layers, followed by a final drybrush of White Scar completed the effect.
Painting Slaanesh Daemons
Prime everything in Citadel Wraithbone (I used the rattle can, but (air)brushing it on would probably be fine too). Step 1: Base coats The baseline method I started with was inspired by two GW painting videos – one for how to do Sautekh warriors, and one for how to achieve the “glowing green” Necron vehicle effect. The former I follow pretty closely, the latter I adapted a bit to simplify, leaning a bit more into the green. My Destroyers are a good example of what I’ve ended up with in the past: Highlight the pink with Citadel Emperor’s Children, highlight the blue with Citadel Baharroth Blue. Bone compliments well with the purple scales of the Saurus and I loved the idea of the head plate being actual bone. Unthinned Skeleton Horde worked great for this.
Great Deal
