After the black-grey-white spray undercoat, I was eager to get painting the lovely heaps of skin on the Ogors. I was going to try some wet blending on those areas, as well as on their trousers. Might have been easier to do the metals first, but I thought the vast areas of skin would dominate the models, and determine how any other areas should look, so maybe it was good idea to start from that.
The recipe for skin tones (that I really like a lot) here was:
* Basecoat with Barbarian Flesh.
* Heavy wash of Flesh Wash, immediately followed by
* wet blended layers of more Barbarian Flesh and Elfic Flesh for highlights.
* Blue Tone diluted with dirty water to shade on the recess (gonna try Lahmian Medium next time).
* Bonewhite and Pale Flesh for highlights.
Little bit of touch-ups here and there, going back and forth when wet blending. Otherwise VERY simple procedure, and an absolute joy to execute on the huge areas of skin on these models.
The metals I decided to shade with greens for a change (having hundreds of miniatures with rusty brown/orange weapons). So Athonian Camoshade, Plaguebearer Flesh and Waywatcher Green were utilized.
At some point I noticed I rather liked the bases, mostly just bare white from the spray undercoating. So to define them a bit more I gave the bases some grey washes and Praxeti White drybrushes.
What else? The trousers were a bit mystery, and still are. Tried some colours (Nazdreg Yellow and Ork Flesh green, along with Basilicanum Grey ones for comparison) on them, wet blended with Pale Grey Blue for highlights. Too crap results. Kind of liked the Nazdreg Yellow ones. Drybrushed and shaded with something maybe. Don't know. For the end results I suppose it's important to have some Khaki drybrushed for powdery highlights and Umber Wash to dull down the trousers and shoes. Underneath those, some thick and heavy coats of something and something are needed. Just gotta figure out a fast and satisfactory method for that.
I'm also VERY dubious about including all the pics with just paint pots over and over again. Looks and feels stupid. But hey, saves a LOT of time from notekeeping and writing. Could be helpful to know what paints were used (at least for myself). So I'll keep including them for now, at least for the Work-In-Progress posts where I'm trying to figure things out. No need to keep repeating later, when the schemes, paints and methods have been decided, I guess.
Pic of the miniatures is always first, followed by the paints used.
