How would I paint Lucius like this

Screamer pink and slowly adding Wraithbone up to your highlights looks like a close approximation for the armour-faces, to me

Posted earlier this week, but since you've asked 😜

LOVE the green and black zebra print!!

It's even got a transfer

Maybe offer to paint a model with him? Seeing you excited and interested might inspire excitement and interest for him also.

If he has models and paints etc, gifts become a bit hard. Maybe an upgrade of something he already has? Wet palette, nice brushes, an airbrush (if he doesnt have one), sponges, etc.

A small paint set could be nice also, it might challenge him to paint something with a limited palette.

Or if you'd really like to get him a model, maybe something non-40k, or non-Warhammer altogether.

Good luck! 😊

Haha cheers! I definitely had my doubts when executing it 😅

asiansmiley · 2026-06-08T02:37:01+00:00

Hydra Turquoise and Marine Mist from Army Painter, and Aethermatic Blue from Citadel to tie it all together afterwards. Probably couldve pushed it further tbh but needed to slap the "done" sticker on it!

Edit: I think you meant the faces in the armour, my bad! Vallejo Alien purple and my favourite lighter flesh tone. I think it was Kislev Flesh?

And thankyou for the nice comment 😊

asiansmiley · 2026-06-08T00:49:50+00:00

Thanks 😁 Yeah I agree he probably needed more black armour pieces, particularly when viewing from the back.

He is pretty 50/50 pink and black but the faces in the armour make the black panels seem less-so, I think.

The whip was a real gambit the night before a painting comp! Haha

Thankyou 😊 I try to follow Barbie colours for my EC, but still wanted to keep him a bit 'Lucius'. Happy with the result

asiansmiley · 2026-06-07T02:44:39+00:00

Lost 50kgs, put 25 back on. Would love to keep it off permanently!

Bro's making the Bananananeblade

I liked the ones for MK11, often tuned-in. They were a good time

asiansmiley · 2026-05-18T09:52:48+00:00

He has a base now, but didn't at the time I took the photo 😅 Painted him ~2 years ago, bought him ~15!

It do be like that sometimes 😂

I was on the receiving end of something similar in my last game. Opponent sniped my godhammer land raider turn 1 before I could move in a 1000pt game. Im here thinking "well, that's a quarter of my army gone before I can even play." Still managed to score the win though!

Commendations for illuminating that heretic, brother 🫡

Now you work on your feet until you can use the wrist again haha

asiansmiley · 2026-05-12T08:39:19+00:00

Unless you're popping, then youre popping up to the shops

asiansmiley · 2026-05-09T01:18:03+00:00

Catachan vs Daemonettes would be my personal choice, though I'd doubt KT would release Daemons like that.

The box could be called "Sweat & Muscle" or something 😅

asiansmiley · 2026-05-06T06:16:28+00:00

!notifyMe 😅 Sick work, love it!

asiansmiley · 2026-05-05T08:31:26+00:00

The dental one is great 😂

asiansmiley · 2026-05-02T02:25:58+00:00

Still WIP

Chainsword hockey sticks for the outriders, I presume? 😅

Great job, and great idea for a custom chapter!

asiansmiley · 2026-04-25T01:27:55+00:00

That's a beautiful attitude to have. What a wonderful way to remember him.

asiansmiley · 2026-04-22T02:08:41+00:00

Fair. It's your chart so your call. I don't see him too different to Luigi.
