Berengar: Fur
When I painted the model pictured, I basecoated the Ungor Flesh , Screaming Skull and Black areas first to get the balance right. I then did the drybrushing for the main colour, before retouching them later. I have broken this down into three sections below just for clarity.
- Basecoat the coloured section with Ungor Flesh .
- Drybrush heavily with Tau Light Ochre . This should cover almost all of the basecoated area and add some nice texture.
- Repeat, but with a lighter drybrush using Skrag Brown . This should cover slightly less area and further define the shape of the musculature.
- Glaze with Skrag Brown , going over all of the drybrushed areas, to unify them. Pull your brush towards the darkest areas.
- Thin some Mournfang Brown and shade downward facing fur.
- Highlight the fur with Tau Light Ochre .
- Selectively highlight with Ungor Flesh .
- Finish with very small specular highlights of Screaming Skull .
- Basecoat the light section with Screaming Skull .
- Glaze the inner thighs and where the fur in thinner with Cadian Fleshtone . I would recommend getting some reference photos for this, if you haven't referred to some already.
- Shade deep recesses with Stormvermin Fur .
- Add highlights with 1:1 Screaming Skull and White .
- Finish with some selective White highlights.
- Basecoat the black ear and face markings with Black .
- Carefully mix Ice Yellow into your black, then highlight the fur. Do this a couple of times, coverring less area each time you increase the amount of Ice Yellow .
Berengar: Eyes, Nose and Claws
- Basecoat with Black .
- Highlight with Dark Reaper .
- For the highlights, mix some Ice Yellow into the Dark Reaper . Repeat as many times as you can, adding more Ice Yellow and coverring a smaller area. Don't be too scared of a big jump in brightness. These areas are small and it will be hard to see.
Berengar: Collar
- Basecoat with Black .
- Overbrush with Leadbelcher , leaving the recesses Black .
- Edge highlight with Ironbreaker .
- Finish with some small Silver RLM01 Metallic highlights.
