"LAST STAND OF THE SEVEN", GOLD MEDALIST, ARMIES ON PARADE, 2018

"Last Stand of the Seven", Gold Medalist, Armies on Parade 2018.


  • 8 x Knight Armiger Helvirins
  • Knight Valiant
  • Knight Castellan
  • 7 x Eldar Wraighlords
  • Various Eldar Spiritseers and Lords





Process:

The Knights are a demonstration of clear metallic techniques on scale models. The insect shell candy coat effect is a function of how light is absorbed as it transmits through each layer of paint. 

Process:

I start by painting an effect of steel or metallic armour, with a base, shade, and highlight. Any highlights or shadows will eventually contribute to the final tonality. Then I pre-shade with blue and green. The process works by allowing each color to absorb light as it passes through each layer. 

Process:

After a base, shade, and edging for the steel armor effect, followed by controlled pre-shading application of green and blue, multiple light coats of red are then applied until the desired result is achieved.

Process:

Batch processing speeds up the process but it still takes hours.


Two contracting factors need to be balanced:


  1. Consistency. So that the tones remain constant over so many coats
  2. Courage. The artists is playing a game of chicken with paint. Too little and it is pink, too much and it may not match the other pieces. 

Process:

It will feel like it will never end. This cycle of airbrush took about many hours in its entirety. Batch processing so many models at once makes this easier to streamline since the sheer volume of parts to airbrush means that parts would dry in the time between coats as kept working non-stop.
