I'm trying to use similar colours on each - they all have the same blue, but they also all have a yellow-ish colour (sash on the Eldar, gold plates on the psyker, dress on the barbarian and the jacket on the squat) and red-ish/pink colour (scabbard on the Eldar, headband on the psyker, hair on the barbarian and straps on the squat). The squat is very much desaturated compared to the others, but it works for the character.<br /><br />I'm still debating how this will work on my next figure, who will probably be predominantly green. To avoid jarring, I'm going to have to think carefully about how I tie the figure in with some spot placement of the same colours again.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-25838940772281410682015-11-10T13:29:25.919+00:002015-11-10T13:29:25.919+00:00Ha, I love this one, you know how to interpret a c...Ha, I love this one, you know how to interpret a character, that's for sure! :D<br />Seriously, the sense of group, of cohesion, is truly remarkable, being all the minis so different.

I was wary of painting him up, but he seems to have turned out OK.<br /><br />The armour was painted using old Citadel paints - shining gold, then highlighted with mixes of shining gold and mithril silver. It then got washes of sepia, devlan mud and purple in the shadow areas, before a final highlight of the gold/silver mix.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-90002513535729304312015-11-09T15:11:39.717+00:002015-11-09T15:11:39.717+00:00Very cool mate, lovely job with a tricky sculpt......Very cool mate, lovely job with a tricky sculpt...
