I’m cracking on with the Plague faction with the stage 3’s getting the first licks of paint. Just the flesh done for now…

It was surprisingly easy to get the flesh the way I wanted it, and if you fancy giving it a go here’s how I did it…

Basecoat of Pallid Wych Flesh

Wash of 3:1 Druchii Violet and Lahmian Medium

Wait for the previous wash to dry and add a light wash of 3:1 Drakenhof Nightshade and Lahmian Medium

Once dry add a fine highlight of Pallid Wych Flesh

And after adding a wee bit more colour…

I didn’t really change anything from the tester as I really liked how that one turned out and I’m really pleased with how they look together 🙂

Here’s a run down on how I painted the other bits and pieces…
