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.

So, as I posted earlier, click HERE to get to the page to buy the raffle tickets for the Space Marines. You do not need to be present to win, and we will ship ANYWHERE in the world!

More to come on this as we close in on the whole NOVA Open event thingy!

    1. It's kind of been the way I've always done it. I'm a very linear thinker, so progressing a paint job this way works well for me. Everything in its place ; )
