Painting a Slaughterpriest

Introduction

My entry for the December painting competition - the reason why I spent all that time experimenting on Bloodreavers.

Prime

Corax White, in preparation for the light color scheme. Also, the Bloodreavers showed me that metallics sit just fine on a light undercoat.

Painting

No experiments here, only tried and trusted techniques.

Dark earth. Medium skintone.

Skulls and horns. Light leather and medium leather straps.

Shiny silver accesories. Regular silver weapons.

Varied skulls on the base. White loincloth.

A diluted coat of Nazdreg Yellow on the horns and fangs of the skulls, for differentiation.

Eyes. Bloodreaver armor.

If he were a regular miniature, this is where I'd call it done.

Moar!

Diluted Black Templar stubble on face and head. Also chest hair.

Raised scar.

Diluted Carroburg Crimson around the skin piercings.

Pale Flesh extreme highlights where the skin is pierced, to show strain.

Tattoos.

Red war paint.

Typhus Corrosion mud. I also drybrushed this Bonewhite, later.

Shiny details after spray varnish

Blood for the Blood God! on the weapons. Gory Red spatter using a toothbrush.

Finished!
