Painting a Confrontation Fianna Keltois

  1. Clean and prime the miniature white
  2. Superglue the figure into the base and use some spackling compound to seal the gaps between the tabs and the slot
  3. Skin and face
    • Paint all of the exposed flesh with Pallid Flesh
    • Wash the flesh parts with a mix of 25% Flesh Wash, 25% Chestnut Wash, and 50% water
    • Using thinned Pallid Flesh, begin adding layers onto the washed flesh. I put a drop of water on my newspaper and run my brush over it periodically to keep it wet and my paint slightly diluted.
    • Once you've layered up to the original base color, add a little Skull White, and again, using thinned layers, add some highlights
    • Paint the eye sockets Dark Angel Green
    • Use a very fine brush to paint a horizontal line of white in the middle of the green, then paint a thin vertical line of Dark Angel Green down the middle of the white bar.
    • Use Centaur Brown and paint a thin line over her eyes for the eyebrows
    • Use Coral and paint a thin line on her lips
  4. Hair
    • Basecoat the hair centaur brown
    • Wash the hair with Chestnut Ink
    • Blend a little bit of Firey Orange with the Centaur Brown and drybrush the highlights. Keep adding a little more Firey Orange until you have reached a nice red-headed look
    • Basecoat the hair wrappings Bleached Bone and when dry, wash with Flesh Wash
    • Use a blend of White and Bleached Bone to highlight the hair wrappings
  5. Armor
    • Basecoat sword, chainmail, and thigh plate - Mithril Silver; Armor - Dark Angel Green
    • Wash everything with diluted Paynes Grey
    • Blend a little bit of Dark Angel Green and Vile Green, thin, and add some highlights to the chest armor
    • Drybrush the sword, chainmail, and thigh plate with Mithril Silver
    • Using a fine brush, pick out the enameling on her armor in Aluminum
  6. Remaining Items
    • Basecoat Boots and belt - Centaur Brown; Bracelets and hilt of sword - Shining Gold
    • Wash the boots with a diluted Paynes Grey; Burnished Gold and Bleached Bone bits with Flesh Wash
    • Pick out the straps on her boots using Bestial Brown
    • Paint a couple of runes on the sword using Chaos Black
  7. Base
    • Cover the base with a little bit of Elmers Glue slightly thinned with water
    • Dip figure into a box of fine sand and let dry
    • Wash dried sand with a diluted mix of Raw Umber and water
    • Dab a little bit of glue in patches and then dip the base in a box of static grass. This will give you the little grassy patches
    • Steal a rock or two from your cat's litter box and glue onto base
    • Pull of a small chunk of lichen and glue to the base
