Brother Ducat, very dark and realistic. Great paintjob!
I like the simple, gloomy colour scheme.
Which colour (colours) did you use to achieve such a dark armour (or is it due to the photo)?
Bartuc, Thankyou for the kind words. The Dark colourscheme is due to the lack of highlights on the models I suspect, although the photo is a little dark. Basically They are -
Black undercoat, drybrush whole model with Boltgun metal, then another lighter drybrush of Boltgun metal to help difine the edges a little more. I then Black all the other areas except for the skin.
The skin is just dwarf flesh, applied in two coatings, I suppose it is a form of layering almost.
I then add scorched brown for the boots, belts etc.
The sword is given a coat of chainmail on the blade only, the only shiny metal on the model.
For any Gold trimmings, I just used snakebite leather. They are so small on these that that is all I applied, no actual gold. I find it gives a nice tarnished gold look when the model is varnished.
So no highlighting or flash techniques, I just allow the feather and base to add a bit of colour to the model.
