The recipe for the armours and helmets of the Knights of the Precipice Stormhost.
I recommend using a soft-bristled brush for the drybrushing, while a stiff-bristled one for the stippling.
Armour
- Apply a basecoat of Warplock Bronze (stippling helps for a faster basecoat step, but apply regularly in spots that are hard to reach).
- Shade generously with Nuln Oil . Be sure it doesn't pool too much, but no big deal if it does.
- Drybrush gently with Warplock Bronze to regain tone.
- Drybrush with Gehenna's Gold taking great care of using the gentlest touch possible. This step will make the bronze shinier and adds a little bit of variation and natural highlights.
- Drybrush with Natural Steel (or Ironbreaker I think) again with great care. This will make some spots shinier and add a little bit of battle damage.
- Apply a filter of Barak-Nar Burgundy heavily diluting it with any medium you have ( Lahmian Medium , Water+ or regular water if you don't have any). Apply this all over the armour to give it a slight puprle tint.
- Basecoat all the rims and decorations with Gehenna's Gold .
- Stipple randomly the armour and the gold parts with Natural Steel (or Ironbreaker ) to add battle damages and scratches.
- Basecoat the scale mail skirts with Natural Steel (or Ironbreaker ).
- Wash the armour and the gold parts with Nuln Oil . Go heavy with it on the gold and scale mail parts but thin it 1:2 with any medium when applying to the armour.
Helmet and scrolls
- Basecoat the helmet and with Pale Sand (or Wraithbone ). Do the same on the scrolls if present.
- Basecoat the gold decorations with Gehenna's Gold .
- If present, basecoat the plume and/or gem with Word Bearers Red .
- Wash the bone-coloured part with Agrax Earthshade . Do the same on the scrolls if present.
- Wash the gold decorations (and plume and/or gem if present) with Nuln Oil .
- Drybrush the plume if present with Mephiston Red . Apply the same colour regularly on the gem if present. You can add a dot of Fire Dragon Bright on the gem to make it brighter.
I will drybrush and stipple everything you love.
