(WIP) Recipe for Mire Kelpies from the WQ Darkwater Box

Still tweaking, final update once based.

Main Body/Cloth

  1. Prime miniature in Black Primer (Airbrush or Rattle Can). Black
  2. Zenithal Highlight with White (Airbrush or Dry Brush). Bold Titanium White
  3. Basecoat the "Cloth" in either Thornwood Green or Midnight Olive
  4. Layer the "Cloth with Traitor Green
  5. Blend up from the layer to Khaki
  6. Blend up to a mix of Bog Moss with the final highlight being Sickly Skin

Skull/Bone

  1. Basecoat in Thornwood Green
  2. Layer up to Mud Rut
  3. Blend up to ’Jack Bone
  4. Final Highlights of Sickly Skin Blending where applicable

For any of the leaves on the Kelpies pick colours that will work with idea for bases. In my case I picked three colours focused around a forest theme colour Battledress Green Wurm Green Bile Thrall
