Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Contrast Akhelian Green (18ml)

Product Information

Layer Citadel Eidolon Purple Clear across the whole gem. The best way to work with this is to blob on a fair amount and then drag it out across the entire surface rather than doing multiple coats thus to ensure a even consistency. Richyp’s Wash ‘n Go I use some very straightforward techniques, since I’m primarily focused on getting things to a tabletop standard ASAP. Similar to the Saurus, the shield is done with unthinned Akhelian Green and the trinkets and trim in Retributor Gold .The blowpipe is done with a unthinned Darkoath Flesh , it gives a sort dried bamboo look.

The Burning Shore is a tale of the Seraphon in the Old World, following a Bretonnian scoundrel looking to escape his debts by boarding a ship to Lustria, only to find himself swept up in a hunt for forgotten lore. That then gets washed with Nuln Oil to darken it down, especially in the recesses, followed by a drybrush with Necron Compound on bits that are going to stay silver to complete it. I do this all now because when drybrushing such a large proportion of the model there’s a risk of getting some on other areas, which I’d rather be able to correct by re-applying the base than having to redo any edge highlighting. For monopose models where it’s important to keep parts together, but I still want to do clipping and cleaning of plastic in a batch, I tend to flip the bases upside down and keep the parts together in those once they’re cleaned. I wanted the bases to really contrast with the bright, warm colours I had used on the models, so I used Astrogranite, Astrogranite Debris and layers of PVA glue to create a cold, barren shoreline. A few layers of Stegadon Scale Green and Ahriman Blue in between the PVA layers, followed by a final drybrush of White Scar completed the effect.

Playing Slaaneshi Armies

These factions were chosen because they all have a connection to magic, the supernatural, or the unusual, which lends itself well to the unique qualities of the Akhelian Green paint. By using this color in their painting schemes, hobbyists can create models that are both striking and true to the thematic elements of the armies they represent. Akhelian Green Colour Schemes & Combinations The only new thing here is the eyes – these get a coat of Stormhost Silver followed by a thinned coat of Iyanden Yellow Contrast followed by an even more thinned coat of Ork Flesh Contrast, which gives a nice vibrant glowing green. This gets re-used on the glowing green cables on the next few models. If you need to shade the colourshift, be very ginger and only fill the recesses, as they can react unpredictably to washes/shades. I’d been looking forward to getting my hands on the Lumineth models ever since I learnt they were on their way to the Mortal Realms, and they do not disappoint! The sculpts are fantastic. I keep discovering little details, like the heel down position of the Vanari Dawnriders, which really emphasise what a sophisticated and well-trained force they are.

The ‘decorative’ metals – bracelets, spine coverings, etc. – are based in Scale 75 Necro Gold. I highlighted them with Vallejo Metal Color Gold and then washed all over with Agrax Earthshade gloss. Both of these metallic paints are quite green which contrasts nicely with the red bronze. Overall I’m very happy with the Necron lads I’ve finished up to this point, and I’m eager to paint the rest of the box! Step 1, of course, is to assemble all required tools – I set up here with the sprue for the Skorpekh and roughly the set of paints I thought I’d need.

One_Wing’s Method

Pretty much the entirety of this step is coating the areas you want colourshifted with your paint of choice. When I did the Epitome above I used GreenStuffWorld’s Pinky Blue, but since I can’t condone that company any more I recommend Turbo Dork’s 3D Glasses, or any similar pink/purple/blue gradient. Today I’m sitting down with a Seeker of Slaanesh, the incarnation of the Dark Prince’s free spirit, which as it turns out is a lizard horse hybrid because of reasons. Stage three, use Flesh Tearers Red to fill in the panels of the cloth, the broad stripe on the shield, and sections of the helm crest. So the general scheme – and I guess these are loosely Novokh Dynasty, but I don’t know if I’ll be playing them that way – is to do deep red shoulder plates, chest armor, and heads for the core warriors, with more red plating for higher-ranking models in the army. I’ve decided to do the heads on my characters with a bone color, because it looks bad ass and gives them more of an undead feel. Necron Warriors When it comes to painting Seraphon and building your own schemes, nature has already given you a wealth of inspiration to draw from for every type of model.
