Battle for the Craftworld - Painting up the Librarian

Well, it has been a little while since I plugged the NOCF 2015 Charity Army Raffles here on my blog, but today I get to do it and give you a couple of step-by-steps along the way : )

If you want to buy tickets to win the Librarian pictured above (and the rest of the excellent Sons Of Orar Army), please head to the NOCF site HERE!

Or visit after you've taken a quick scroll through here to see the various steps I took to paint up this very cool model.

BLUE

Step One: Prime the model in black.

Step Two: Paint the blue armor with VMC Dark Prussian Blue.

Step Three: Highlight the armor with a 60/40 mix of VMC Dark Prussian Blue and VGC Ultramarine Blue

Step Four: Highlight the armor with a 20/80 mix of VMC Dark Prussian Blue and VGC Ultramarine Blue.

Step Five: Highlight the top edges with a 70/30 mix of VGC Ultramarine Blue and VMC White.

WHITE

Step One: Basecoat the white areas with VMC Pale Grey.

Step Two: highlight the areas with a 60/40 mix of VMC Pale Grey and VMC White.

Step Three: highlight the areas with a 30/70 mix of VMC Pale Grey and VMC White.

Step Four: Highlight the areas with VMC White.

FLESH

Step One: Basecoat the flesh with VGC Tan.

Step Two: Highlight the flesh with a 70/30 mix of VGC Tan and VGC Dwarf Skin.

Step Three: Highlight the flesh with a 30/70 mix of VGC Tan and VGC Dwarf Skin.

Step Four: Highlight the flesh with VGC Dwarf Skin.

Step Five: Highlight the flesh with a 70/30 mix of VGC Dwarf Skin and VMC Pale Sand.

RED

Step One: Basecoat the red areas with VMC Hull Red.

Step Two: Highlight the red areas with a 60/40 mix of VMC Hull Red and AP Dragon Red.

Step Three: Highlight the red areas with a 20/80 mix of VMC Hull Red and AP Dragon Red.

At this point I went through and started my "corrections" by painting everything that wasn't going to be blue, white, flesh, or red with black. From there I painted the silvers and golds as well as the variety of little bits and bobs around the place.
