Necromunda Venators WIP (pt.6 - painting)

Yet more WIPs of the Beastmen, done in 13th-15th of February. Lots of refining areas, adding verdigris and subtly shading allover with greens to contrast with all the reds and oranges. Tried new Pigma Micron "archive quality" ink pens in high hopes that they wouldn't dissolve when varnishing, but no. Still had to paint some of the black & white checkers over the ones that got smudgy. But it's probably okay, since using ink pens for selected detail work is WAY faster than paints.

I had also bought a couple of weathering powders, but after quickly trying some on a piece of terrain and not quite feeling it, I decided to stain the bases of the Venators with the good old dirty paint water bottom sludge. Worked out absolutely fantastic as always.

Quite a lot of wet blending also took place. The holsters, scrolls, bandages etc. had already been painted mid brown or grey (with shading and subtle highlights), but received a very simple finishing coat I really liked: First light allover wash of Seraphim Sepia, and while it was still wet, some Pale Grey Blue was gradually mixed in to create highlights. Did the same thing on the orange clothes with dirty waters, orange paints and Off White.

The finest detail work (such as the teeth) were done with the Army Painter Standard Brush. Really like it better than the more tiny ones, 'cause it can hold way more paint in it.
