Rathnard Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 So with all the talk about building Dead Justice crews with undead executioners, guild autopsies and the like, I thought I'd try something a little different. Introducing, Neverdita! At some point I'll paint the rest of her starter box, then probably expand from there with some other guild models/proxies. I'd originally posted this on my Twitter feed but people want to know how I painted her skin, so I thought I'd just bit the bullet and post it here too. I started with a white basecoat and liberally covered with GW's Badab black wash. I then just drybrushed GW Elf Grey over the top (it's basically a light grey with a slight bluish tinge to it). The hair is just GW Tentacle pink with a heavy GW red wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirarii Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Beautiful! I can't wait to work on my Lilith crew on my day off this week, I might try that scheme on some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks for the feedback all! Will we see her at the masters? I hope so, but with a 2 week old baby girl currently sucking up my time and money it's going to be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Heel Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Beautiful work. BTW: Where is that building in the background from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruglyother Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Stealing this...sort of. I was working on something very similar for my new Lilith crew, but was having trouble with the colors. I had tried playing with an old technique I had use, but the lighter tones were throwing me off. Now I have your example to work off of. Thank you once again for great inspirations.

LupusFerreus Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Well, I've just got back from my local GW store and have found the appropriate new paints to correlate to what Rathnard used. Apparently The best way to get that pink is to use Emperor's Children (layer), with a red wash and if you like highlight with Changeling Pink (drybrush). For the skin, Fenrisian Grey is a good layer but a little dark, so if you're up for drybrushing the suggestion would be Etherium Blue. I can't wait to paint my Lilith crew, after seeing a picture of Rathnar's that he sent me, I feel like I'm turning pink... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yep, that's about right. Emperors Children is a darker pink than Tentacle pink. So combined with the red wash and a drybrush of Changeling Pink or the old Tentacle pink, that'd probably produce a better effect than what I do. I think Ulthan Grey is closer than Etherium Blue to the Elf Grey I use, so you could use that as either a replacement or a second drybrush.
