I've been saying for a month now that I was going to steal the corpse paint idea that's been floating around, but after looking after some Conan reference, I'm tempted to go with this bizarre camo

Figuring out some colors in oils, plus white.

Only 19 more models to go. Lol.

These are going to take forever haha.
To talk about my base layer, I worked my way from top to bottom using blue, then magenta, then red, to reddish orange, then bright ivory very light. I used the paint with its ink counterpart to keep colors saturated.
Terra Rosa pulling the heaviest of the skin tone load with Naples orange and white for highlights. Some Terra Rosa back on top to prevent desaturation with the white.
The base is going to be pigments. After the test model, I see I want to wait for the oils to dry before using pigments.
Soft pastels serve as my dry pigments

Loving these. Really happy how this scheme is turning out but these 9 were TEDIOUS! Still going at a good pace, but the next 11 are going to be rough.
Definitely bittersweet too because these marauders have never been good on the table, haha. A pretty unit to sit on the shelf.

Looking good! I really like the colors on the shields.

10 are done with phase 1. I want to go back over these and do the last red parts. I didn't have any red on my pallette at the time. The remaining 10 are going to be much lower effort.
Going to do the wilderfiend next as a pallette cleanse.

I really, really like the purples and blues. Any interesting observations while working within this palette?

I've been so busy with this kit. Really bummed that they are garbage on the table.
I'm going for visual punch on the table top, high contrast.

Upgraded my photog setup.
i didnt realize until i took the pics that i guess i handled it too much while it was still drying and i wiped the red off some of the spine tips
but this was zorn pallete for extra internet points @waxen ruin
zorn except for the pigments in the base, actually. orange isnt zorn enough.

i wanted to go back and do the darkoath tribe freehanding, but after the rules release (i paint these guys to play) i am pretty demotivated because of how bad the rules are. i hope they get updated and then i can come back with fresh enthusiasim

A big bad in 3 hours counts as speed paint, yeah? I attacked this guy with a plan and it came out great.

Trying to figure out Abraxia and some subtle fire OSL varanguard.

A lot to catch up on. For starters, I'm pivoting to wrap up my Dominion and Skaventide Stormcast. Here's where I started with the base coat and the test model.
The scheme is nicely repeatable and I think I'm about under an hour per model. Though I'm not really keeping track of time, but it needs to be relatively quick or it'll take me longer than I want to finish.
Also dabbling in some skaventide themed terrain that looks awesome.
