No Orc - all Skaven basecoat

 God save the Queen and all that jazz.

Basecoat work on both cloaks and skin for 4 skaven today. Trying my hand at some batch painting.

Got a sore left elbow but started to use another hand grip instead of holding the base and that seems to have helped.

Skaven - complete | Orc - Ribbons

Hello there,

Test Skaven has been completed - very quick job with a lot of drybrushing in the mix.

For the skin, I went talarn flesh, ogryn wash, dwarf then elf. Metal was macharius orange and scorched brown drybrushed on then drybrush of chainmail.

Bindings were the brown colour then washed with ogryn and painted dheneb.

Parchment was ogryn washed then drybrushed with dheneb and white.

Wood was brown + wash then left. The bone details wre treated as per the parchment

think thats about it...

Also basecoated the ribbon on Mr Grimgor Ironhide. Going for a yellow/purple arrangement to match my empire general.

Quick update on basecoat work on the test Skaven.

Orc Armour & Skaven basecoat

Started basecoating the orc armour, thin layer of metallic paint there... the metallic paints are so much better if applied slightly thinned, negates the need for drybrushing a lot of the time in my book.

Also a quick basecoat on the skaven dude. (picture below shows paints I plan to use for reference)

Knarloc green looks nothing like that pot through, dark pigment stuck on the sides no matter how much I shake it!

Felt great to paint something quickly, I think I got a pretty accurate basecoat on it as well.

I have also taken a picture of the light reflecting off the shoulders for reference later in highlighting.
