It's been a while since I wrote down proper notes about the paints or techniques being used. Occasionally I've documented these things by taking loads of pictures with paint bottles and brushes next to the miniatures. It might not be a good idea to spend huge amounts of time in such bookkeeping on every single miniature. But when experimenting and/or coming up with army wide schemes it seems to prove useful later on.
With these Rhinos I decided to try OIL WASHES for the first time ever. Amazing stuff. Looks great, fun to use. Not a big fan of waiting the stuff to dry overnight or even over a span of few days. So it takes a bit of organizing, perfect timing and luck to keep things in progress, with all the extra varnishing stages and drying times to take into consideration. But I love the results and the actual act of looking the oil washes do all the work by themselves.
And the notes / stages of painting, as the process was a bit different from the rank and file Nurgle troops I've done recently:
* Army Green spray primer
* Agrellan Earth for texture
* Desert Yellow & Matt White sprayed zenithally
* Khaki (Vallejo) watered down, wash on the recess
* Elfic Flesh (Vallejo) drybrush
* Rhinox Hide (Citadel) stippled on metals, edges, tracks
* Oily Steel (Vallejo) drybrushed on metal edges
* Off White highlight details
* Gloss Varnish spray allover & under
* Raw Umber, Orange Yellow, Emerald Green & Lemon Yellow oil washes (Sang, diluted with HanArt white spirits), rubbed off with tissue & cotton swabs from the protruding ares
* Satin Varnish spray allover & under
* Lamenters Yellow (Citadel) glaze tentacles & details
* Athonian Camoshade (Citadel) shade undersides / recess / teeth edges
* Elfic Flesh teeth & bones
* Seraphim Sepia (Citadel) shade teeth & bones
* Volupus Pink (Citadel) + Elfic Flesh blended on meaty mouth parts
* Elfic Flesh fine highlights on details
* Green washes (dirty mix of several greens + orange) on tentacles etc.
* Transparent Orange (Vallejo) with that dirty green wash on rusty parts
* Oily Steel touch ups on metal edges
* Off White highlights
* Volupus Pink painted on moist (with water) surfaces inside mouths
* Satin Varnish spray all over
* Gloss Gel Medium + Volupus Pink & Red Ink (Vallejo) or with Casandora Yellow (Citadel) for slime
* Khaki & Pale Grey Blue (Vallejo) gentle drybrush on tracks and lower edges
* Shining Silver (Army Painter) on metal edges
* Matt Varnish on metals, bones & teeth
* Minor touch-ups on many details, dirt, rust here & there
* Gloss Varnish tentacles, buboes & other slimy details
(Hope I didn't miss too many stages here...
I'll post the pictures of the finished models as soon as I have time to take them.)
