How I painted my copy of the official 'Scavenger' model for the new game 1490 Doom.

Helmet

  1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
  2. Wash with Basilicanum Grey .
  3. Wash again, but with Agrax Earthshade this time.
  4. Re-establish the basecoat with a drybrush of :Citadel/Leadbelcher.
  5. Add rust into recesses, with a generous shade of thin Skrag Brown .
  6. Enhance this in a few places with thin Balor Brown .
  7. Mix some Silver RLM01 Metallic into your Leadbelcher and pick out hard edges.
  8. Selectively highlight with pure Silver RLM01 Metallic where the light would really hit.

Visor

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Abaddon Black and Khorne Red .
  2. Highlight everything but the top right corner with Khorne Red . This is best done with glazes, pulling your brush towards the bottom left.
  3. Repeat, this time using Evil Sunz Scarlet , and covering slightly less area.
  4. Add a highlight of Fire Dragon Bright to the bottom left corner.
  5. Mix your Fire Dragon Bright with some Ice Yellow and selectively highlight the very corner.
  6. Add a specular highlight of Ice Yellow to the corner.
  7. Finish with a dot of White on the top right hand side, on the very darkest patch.

Sack

  1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
  2. Drybrush with Doombull Brown all over, building up texture.
  3. Drybrush more lightly, this time with Skrag Brown . Focus on downward strokes, catching edges.
  4. Shade deep recesses and downward facing surfaces with Abaddon Black .
  5. Pick out edges with fine lines of 1:1 Skrag Brown and Balor Brown .
  6. More selectively highlight the edges and corners picked out in the previous stage with Ushabti Bone .

Robe

  1. Basecoat with Karak Stone .
  2. Wash the robe with some very thin Steel Legion Drab .
  3. Shade recesses an under folds with Thondia Brown .
  4. Highlight with a mix of heavy glazes, using 1:1 Karak Stone and Flayed One Flesh .
  5. More selectively pick out edges with Flayed One Flesh .
  6. To finish, add a few dots of Wraithbone within the previous stages, to suggest fraying and texture.

Shirt

  1. Basecoat with Screaming Skull .
  2. Shade recesses carefully with a thin mix of 1:1 Screaming Skull and Tau Light Ochre .
  3. Enhance shading in the deepest parts with a 1:1 mix of Tau Light Ochre and Dryad Bark .
  4. Highlight folds with 1:1 Screaming Skull and White .
  5. Finish with selective highlights of White .

Trousers

  1. Basecoat with Stormvermin Fur .
  2. Shade recesses with a mix of 2 parts Stormvermin Fur , 2 parts Abaddon Black and 1 part Incubi Darkness .
  3. Edge highlight with 1:1 Stormvermin Fur and Administratum Grey .
  4. Selectively edge highlight with Administratum Grey and a little White .

Shoes

  1. Basecoat with Steel Legion Drab .
  2. Wash with Agrax Earthshade .
  3. Highlight with Baneblade Brown .
  4. Finish with a few small Karak Stone highlights.

Skin

  1. Basecoat with Cadian Fleshtone .
  2. Wash with 2:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Contrast Medium .
  3. Selectively highlight with Kislev Flesh .
  4. Finish with specular highlights of Pallid Wych Flesh .

Blade

  1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
  2. Shade with Gryph-charger Grey . I recommend popping some on your wet palette, then glazing it down the blade, towards the hilt.
  3. Enhance the shading with some Nuln Oil , where needed.
  4. Pick out raised areas with Ironbreaker and edge highlight the rest.
  5. With pure Silver RLM01 Metallic , edge highlight the tip and place a few specular highlights on corners.

Gold Details

  1. Mix a little Silver RLM01 Metallic into Retributor Armour and basecoat the handles of the blades.
  2. Wash with Reikland Fleshshade .
  3. Increase the amount of Silver RLM01 Metallic in the Retributor Armour , then apply selective highlights.
  4. Finish with a few specular Silver RLM01 Metallic highlights.
