Both the cloaks and smoke use one of my new favorite paint techniques. I put two GW contrast paints next to each other on a wet palette (say red and yellow). Then I alternate between them when loading the brush for painting. The goal is to let them loosely mix in the brush or on the model, giving interesting variations.
Nightsisters
After its dry, more washes and highlights give more depth.
Savage Opress
The contrast paints can also be used as a wash on the base, to give a quick-and-dirty OSL effect.
Moonstone has been on my radar on and off ever since the first Kickstarter. I saw it being played at Adepticon this year, and finally decide to take the plunge.
Billy
If I’m honest, it’s this model that pushed me over the edge. It’s also not the first gnome on a goat to get me to buy into a game.
Mama Gimble
Don’t make Mama Gimble tell you to do the dishes one more time. You will regret it.
Quarrel
And of course, a nice helmet and vest to bring it all together.
I did some spots on Barriss Offe’s cloak, but they’re practically invisible in the final product. Sooner or later I’ll learn to be garish in the first pass so contrasts survive washes.
Republic Clone Commandos
Like the 501st, I uses washes and chipping to keep the clones from being too white. I also take whatever excuse I can to apply contrast in the details, like the shoulder pads and below the chest plate.
