This scheme is based strongly on the official artwork from Sean Sutter, for this new game. How to paint a team of Blue Knights to a decent standard. These knights will also be doing double duty in my retinues for "The Barons' War".
I started by priming with Republic Blue . This is not a compulsory step, but it makes the next steps easier.
Blue Cloth
- Basecoat with Kantor Blue .
- Shade with small amount of 1;1 Kantor Blue and Abaddon Black . Don't go too heavy.
- Glaze 2:1 Kantor Blue and Teclis Blue over the majority of where the basecoat remains. Be sure to drag your brush towards where you will place future highlights and leave a little of the basecoat showing still.
- Add chunky highlights of 1:2 Kantor Blue and Teclis Blue .
- Now apply fine highlights with pure Teclis Blue .
- Mix some Teclis Blue 1:1 with Administratum Grey and selectively highlight corners and curves.
- Finish with a few specular highlights of pure Administratum Grey .
White Cloth
- Basecoat with Corax White .
- Add general shading with some thin Administratum Grey .
- Shade deep recesses more selectively, using Dawnstone .
- In very deep recesses and where you want to sepecrate the cloth fromother materials, add very thin lines of Eshin Grey .
- Highlight edges with White
