| Prime your crewmen
models with Chaos Black Spray. |
|
| Paint any areas missed
by the spray with watered-down Chaos Black.
|
|
| I stole my Chaos
flesh technique from Dave Taylor of the U.S.
Promotions Department. Begin by painting all
the flesh areas with a 1:1 mix of Liche Purple
and Tanned Flesh. |
|
 Highlight
the flesh areas with Tanned Flesh, then Dwarf
Flesh, and then Elf Flesh. Make sure to leave
a bit of the previous colour showing as you apply
each new highlight. |
|
| Basecoat the straps,
yokes, and other cloth areas with Regal Blue.
Highlight with Ultramarines Blue, and then apply
a second highlight with Ultramarines Blue with
a little Skull White added. To tone down these
highlights, wash the blue areas with very thinned-down
Blue Ink (about 3:1 water:ink). |
|
 Basecoat
the bright metal areas with Chainmail. Wash
the areas with slightly thinned Blue Ink. Finally,
apply Mithril Silver highlights. |
|
|
 For
the darker metal areas, basecoat with Tin Bitz
and highlight with Boltgun Metal. |
|
 Basecoat
the brown leather areas with Scorched Brown.
Paint large, exaggerated highlights of Bestial
Brown on the raised areas and the edges of the
Scorched Brown areas. Tone down your exaggerated
highlights with a wash of undiluted Brown Ink.
This simple technique yields a convincing result
that resembles polished brown leather. I use
it often, because it's so simple and fun to
do. |
|
 Finally,
paint the beards with a basecoat of Scorched
Brown. Finish with subtle highlights of Graveyard
Earth and Bleached Bone. |
|
|
Paint and finish your crew's bases to match
those of your army and/or the scenic base
you'll create for your Hellcannon.
Here's my simple base-painting technique:
basecoat of Bestial Brown, heavy coat of slightly
thinned Brown Ink, heavy drybrush of Bestial
Brown, medium drybrush of Bestial Brown mixed
with Bleached Bone, and finally a very light
drybrush of Bleached Bone.
