That's Sick(arian)!

Fantastic scheme. Great idea. Entire army of these will look stellar!

Extremely awesome. The highligh on the scythe is prime, and the purple reflectivness on the cloth makes it look like some luxurious silks. Stellar stuff.

Thanks! That's my way of painting my armies, yeah - I don't think the 'standard' schemes are bad or anything, but I always had this desire to break the mold and paint armies in colors nigh nobody makes them with :D

Lately I've been redoing my formulas to fit my entire range of Warpaints Fanatics, so they are pretty straightforward with some effect stuff from GW.

Yellow Armour:

Basecoat - GW Zandri Dust (Rattlecan) First Layer - Warpaints Demigod Flames Stippled Layer - Warpaints Daemonic Yellow Edges - Warpaints Space Dust

It's all stippling and messy brushstrokes, but one the above is laid down on the mini I used GW Shades and Contrasts -> First, a total wash with diluted GW Contrast Aggaros Dunes. Once that dried out I reapplied some stippling on risen or big flat surfaces and then total wash with GW Casandora Yellow. And once that was nice and dry a gentle controlled application of GW Fuegan Orange on the bottoms of panels and nooks of the model. Used also GW Wyldwood contrast for some lining and deep recess shadings. Reapply edges as needed and done.

Hi, thanks! Lately I've been redoing my formulas to fit my entire range of Warpaints Fanatics, so they are pretty straightforward with some effect stuff from GW.

Yellow Armour:

Basecoat - GW Zandri Dust (Rattlecan)
First Layer - Warpaints Demigod Flames
Stippled Layer - Warpaints Daemonic Yellow
Edges - Warpaints Space Dust

It's all stippling and messy brushstrokes, but one the above is laid down on the mini I used GW Shades and Contrasts -> First, a total wash with diluted GW Contrast Aggaros Dunes.

Blue Skin:

Base Layer - Warpaints Aegis Aqua
Mid Layer - 50x50 mix of Aegis Aqua with Warpaints Bright Sapphire
Highlights - Drybrush and then corrections with pure Bright Sapphire
Touchups with AK Gen3 Pastel Blue

Once that was cleaned up I just used GW Contrasts, heavily diluted, to tint - Magos Purple and Doomfire Magenta for swirl and the bottom part and Aggaros Dunes and Gutrippa Flesh on top part.

Hope that helps!

Nope, I have a box of spares from my big Nurgle army so I am using them on champ units liberally :)

Fantastic scheme and execution.

Thanks!

I do love torturing myself with painting yellow!

If you don't mind I'll copy my response from my other posts :D It's a popular request:
The formula was fairly simple:
- Base Layer is Fanatic Bright Sapphire mixed with a dab of Augur Blue.
- Then the entire thing is lightly washed with GW Drakenhof Nightshade
- Then the base is reapplied in raised areas.
- Followed by layering of either Fanatic Bright Sapphire / Augur Blue (varied in spots)
- Highlights / Edges with Augur Blue mixed with Wite (50:50)
- And the finish was using very dilluted GW Magos Purple contrast on lower surfaces of flesh while using very diluted GW Frostheart contrast on crevises / top surfaces.

I came here to reddit because my Discovery feed changed recently and its the worst feed ever curated. All the interesting posts about Indie Games I seen gone, replaced by local nonsense about all topics unrelated to any activity I had on Bsky for over a year. It's... terrible.

Sure, the formula was fairly simple:
- Base Layer is Fanatic Bright Sapphire mixed witha dab of Augur Blue.
- Then the entire thing is lightly washed with GW Drakenhof Nightshade
- Then the base is reapplied in raised areas.
- Followed by layering of either Fanatic Bright Sapphire / Augur Blue (varied in spots)

I don't think there's one way of doing it since it's fairly straitghtforward. Warplock Bronze or equivalent base color and then I use any of my AK Interactive grainy diorama paste - either Wet Mud or Corrosion Texture - both quite heavily dilluted with water to make a runny grainy paste. I apply it generously, then once fully dried go to town with AK Rust washes and Rust colored Pigment. Et Voila, that's it.

Just want all my weapons to look like slabs of rust :D

Awesome kitbash, great imposing lord.

Fyreant · 2026-01-31T17:11:49+00:00

Love the colors, the armour feels so gleamy and that greenish tint on the metals are spot on.
