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.

Method(s):  Base with Chaos Black spray. next I recommend starting with the face, base it in Bugmans Glow, (paint eyes first so you can easily correct mistakes) with Bugmans Glow after, base eye in White Scar, now with Abaddon Black paint each pupil, lastly with a very watered down Abaddon Black just put your brush tip to the edge of each eye this should flood the recesses for a cool dark eyeline affect.) layer Cadian Fleshtone avoiding the recesses, highlight Kislev Flesh.

Model(s): Blackstone Fortress Escalation (Out of print)

Paint(s): Chaos Black Spray, Abaddon Black, Iron Warriors, Nuln Oil, Iron Hands Steel, Retributor Armour, Liberator Gold, Rakarth Flesh, Steel Legion Drab, Screaming Skull, Skavebblight Dinge, Caliban Green, Ulthuan Grey, White Scar, Bugmans Glow, Cadian Fleshtone, Kislev Flesh, Khorne Red, Baharroth Blue, Drakenhof NightShade.

Method(s):

Skin: Base: Bugmans Glow, Wash: Reikland FleshShade, Layer: Cadian Fleshtone avoiding the darkest recesses, Highlight: Kislev Flesh. for the eyes base Baharroth Blue and apply a very gentle wash of Drakenhof NightShade. paint metal implants with Iron Warriors.

Jacket:, trousers, boots, and gloves are all nice and easy. Base jacket with Steel Legion Drab, trousers with Skavebblight Dinge, and boots/gloves with Abaddon Black. For highlight add a little white to each of the colours and apply an edge highlight respectively. The inside of the jacket can just be based with Khorne Red we are not going to highlight this as it is on the underside and mostly unseen. sash should be based in Ulthuan Grey and highlighted with White Scar, tips of the sash painted in exactly the same way as the jacket. the loin cloth robe should be based in Caliban Green and treated again the same way as the jacket and trousers. add a little white to your green and highlight with this.

For armour I went with a dark tint as I feel it makes the armour orbs (this is clearly the correct name for them) pop a little more. base in Iron Warriors, wash with Nuln Oil and finally highlight with Iron Hands Steel. orbs painted the same way as eyes above except lastly add a little flick in the bottom corner of white and a dot in each opposite corner to give a lens flair look. Finally gold trim based with Retributor Armour and highlighted with Liberator Gold.

Paint Time: 6-8hours
