Painting Guide – Freebooter Warjack

Painter: Dultoriminis

Model(s): Privateer Press Freebooter

Paint(s): Leadbelcher spray, Thousand Sons Blue, Caliban Green, White Scar, Leadbelcher, Balthasar Gold, Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, Celestra Grey, Ulthuan Grey, Averland Sunset, Yriel Yellow, Mephiston Red, Necron Compound, Rhinox hide, Mornfang brown, Skrag Brown.

Method(s): Base whole model with Leadbelcher spray, next wash the whole model with Nuln Oil. Once this is fully dry, wash with Agrax Earthshade. Again once fully dry lightly dry then brush the whole model with Necron Compound.

For primary armour colour make a 1:1 ratio mix of Thousand Sons Blue and Caliban Green. for highlights add a little White Scar to this mix. this highlight colour can also be used randomly on armour to apply scratches and chips.

For secondary armour, colour base Celestra Grey and then layer Ulthuan Grey. The red cross is done freehand with Mephiston Red, for straight line free hand it is best done with a quick confident line. I find if you take your time you wobble more, if any mistakes are made this is easily fixed by painting Ulthuan Grey over the top. Once fully dried, highlight secondary armour with White Scar this can also be applied randomly for chips and scratches.

Pick out any pipe connections or cogs with Balthasar Gold, wash with Nuln Oil and then Agrax Earthshade.

For any rust apply Rhinox hide randomly, this is best done around connecting parts or anywhere water would pool on the model. within the Rhinox hide layer a little Mornfang brown, and within this apply a few dots of Skrag Brown.

Notes: For the base, paint blue (something like Caledor Sky, and layer Baharroth Blue but not full coverage allow some of the darker blue to show through, lightly highlight with White Scar dry brush. Next use Woodland Scenics Water Effects. This as a gel consistency and and can be shaped quite easily allowing you to make splashing effects, in addition once its dried you can apply more layers to allow for larger splashes. Take your time and have a play with this. remember water is random so don’t need to be precise. lastly once happy apply a very light dry brush of White Scar.
