Mantis Warriors PLOG Lt. Finished


Recommended Posts

I managed to finish the first 5 man squad.  Im starting work on the Lt. next.  Ill write up my green and yellow recipes the next time I have my paints in front of me.  I do use enamel pin washes from mig so I don't use standard GW washes.

Here are some rough outlines of the colors I use.  I do all of my base colors with an airbrush and my zenethial highlights with an airbrush as well.  

 

Green:

Prime black

Base with Death world forrest

Zenethial highlight with Goblin Green Vallejo.

Edge highlighting with Deathworld forrest and Goblin Green.  About a 3 parts DWF and 2 parts GG.

I do some more highlights with just Goblin Green.

Gloss coat.

At this stage I do all my transfers.


I then seal it with a gloss/satin coat.  I add lahmian medium to this to get a more matte/satin finish.  I havent found a matte that I really like.

 

Yellow:

Prime black

Base with Averland Sunset

Zenethial highlight with Averland Sunset and screaming skull.

 

If you have any further questions let me know.  I hope this helps.

Very cool work.  I've always been just inches away from painting up some Mantis Warriors but back away when I realize I'd have two red (Red Hunters, Blood Angels) and two green (Raptors, Mantis Warriors) chapters if I did, and I want a little more color variety in my chapters.  But always stoked to see Badab chapters represent!  I'm currently working on the Vanguard Lieutenant as a Star Phantom.  

 

Really like the base on that Lieutenant as well.
