acolite Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Awesome paint job! How did you manage to paint the "faces" in the armour? Thanks. :P They aren't too difficult, just takes practice and a bit of patience. 1. Paint the armour plate red gore, 2 - 3 coats. 2. Paint it with blood red, leaving a trim of the red gore around the edges. 3. Paint the basic faces with a mixture of red gore and black. 4. Apply Baal red wash. 5. Use Blazing orange to apply the highlights around the eyes, nose area of each face. 6. Blend the orange lines with a mix of blood red/red gore, etc until you get the desired look. 7. I applied badab black wash to all the faces, ie the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. That's more or less it. Kind of comes down to trial and error. I picked up the basic idea from someone on Throne of Skulls, that did faces on his Brass scorpion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 And under the brass, was a brass lobster! It's a great looking scorpion, I especially like the red and the faces. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsa_terminators Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 very, very awesome. I'm always impressed with larger models, just due to the painting surface. Loving the faces on the armour. Very Khorne-y! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
