Here’s my paint station set up for the Four Day Skinksapalooza I’ve got planned. I’ve got my brushes, paints for the first step (base coating), and first six of twenty-five models ready to go. At right is a clipboard with my paint scheme notes.
I identified six primary and one to three secondary paint areas for base coating on each Skink. So the six paints in front are Jokaero Orange (for the orange skin), Naggaroth Night (for the purple scales and head crest), Dryad Brown (for Boltspitter shafts), Warplock Bronze (for brass jewelry and Boltspitter bands), Rakarth Flesh (for bone white teeth), and Waaagh! Flesh (for emerald green Star-Bucklers). In the back are three paints to use for various Star-Buckler decorations like feathers and what I guess are ribbons (Mephiston Red, Macragge Blue, and Averland Sunset), and Retributor Armor for their glowy eyes.
My plan is to use my Citadel Medium Base brush to paint the orange and purple areas, then my Citadel Glaze brush to paint the remaining areas, more or less in the order I’ve listed them above.
After that, I’ll move to step 1A, which is layering the purple, bone white, and emerald green areas. Step 2 is shading the whole model in various appropriate colors (and hitting the eyes with Spiritstone Red). Step 3 is more layering and Step 4 is edging.
Finally I’ll do the basing treatment, which is spackling on Stirland Battlemire, painting the rim of the base in Macragge Blue, then waiting and waiting for the texture paint to dry (oh, I’ll glue on some cork “boulders” during this stage). Then, probably the next morning, I’ll hit the ground effects with some shade paint, drybrush it with Underhive Ash, and finally, glue on some tufts of grass.
Tra la, that’s my Skink painting plan.
