Another couple of additions to m Rebs force. Think these guys would come in handy in a campaign…
To Finish them off I needed to paint the flesh, leather and red bits, and here’s how I did those:
Flesh: The flesh was finished by adding a small amount of Rakkarth Flesh to Mechanicus standard Grey, and layering it on as it gets progressively lighter but using smaller amounts each time, focused on the edges.
Eyes: I started these off with a coat of Genestealer Purple
3:1 Genestealer Purple and Menoth White Highlight was added and painted on but leaving the edges of the eye the original colour
1:1 Genestealer Purple and Menoth White Highlight is added and painted only in the centre of the eyes
Leather: Over the Dryad Bark base I added two highlights
The first is 2:1 Dryad bark and Ushabti Bone
The second 1:1 Dryad bark and Ushabti Bone
Reds: Over the Khorne Red base:
Layer of Mephiston Red leaving the recesses the original colour
Highlight of Evil Sun Scarlet
Highlight of 1:1 Evil Sun Scarlet and Tau Light Ochre
and finally a wash of Bloodletter
The only other thing I had to paint was the base and here are the stages I went through:
A basecoat of Mechanicus Standard Grey over the whole thing
Drybrush of Codex Grey
Drybrush of Fortress Grey
Light Drybrush of Terminatus Stone
Wash of 5:1 water and Dryad Bark
And thats the basics of how I’ve painted my Rebs. The only bits that tend to differ are the flesh as they’re otherwise quite uniformed. But I’m planning on covering some other species once I get them done 🙂
