Deathly Trappings

 Hello once again everyone, I hope you are all staying safe out there. Another week, another post. This week is about a death wizard I painted up for Age of Sigmar. 

The Ivy was painted using waaagh! Flesh as a base, then a warboss green layer was added over top of that. This was then layered with a 50/50 mix of warboss green and sybarite green with a coelia greenshade wash afterwards. The whole thing was topped off with sybarite green edge highlights.

The skull on the hat was simply painted with a zandri dust base, an Ushabti bone layer and then a pallid wych flesh highlight and white scar edge highlight and a light wash of agrax earthshade. 

The staff was painted with a rhinox hide base, a layer of 50/50 Rhinox hide and Mournfang brown, a layer of Mournfang brown, another 50/50 mix, this time of Mournfang brown and the Vallejo air White-Grey. A wash of agrax earthshade wash was applied and then a final edge highlight using the mix of Mournfang and White-Grey. 

The red flowers were Khorne red, Wazdakka red, Evil Sunz Scarlet and then a light wash of carroburg to liven things up a bit. A highlight of evil sunz scarlet and Vallejo White-Grey was then applied to finish them off.

The purple flowers started as a Xereus purple base coat, with layers of a mix of xereus purple and Vallejo White-Grey continually added to each layer, a wash of druchii violet and a final edge highlight with the brightest mix of xereus purple and Vallejo White-Grey. 

The gold bits were Warplock Bronze base, Gehenna's gold layer, a nuln oil wash and a highlight of Auric armour gold. 

Finally, the cloak was a Russ grey base, layers of Fenrisian grey, and a 50/50 of Fenrisian grey and Lothern blue were applied. Then a layer of Ulthuan grey and Lothern blue was applied with Ulthuan grey edge highlights.

Oof that was a lot. I enjoyed painting this model because it was a lot of different things, and was a little bit of everywhere as far as colours go, which allowed me to experiment with using colours that I might normally not use as often. It also allowed me to mix paints that I might not normally think of mixing together, like the Fenrisian grey and Lothern blue. I like how it turned out. 

That's it for me this week, I'll be back next week and I hope you all have a happy Easter.
