Painting Solomon Kane’s Darkness Posted on May 20, 2021 Darkness was particularly interesting to paint due to the diversity of texture and metal weathering. I chose GW Contrast Volupus Pink for the lower garment and GW Contrast Gore Grunta Brown for the robe. Given the nive sculpted texture of the folds, I do not intend on adding any more highlighting to these elements. I used GW Contrast Aggaros Dunes for the wimple and scarf. Base skulls were given a layer of GW Contrast Skeleton Horde and the minion robes and mask were painted GW Contrast Snakebite Leather. The armor was painted GW Leadbelcher and washed with Nuln Oil, so as to take away its sheen. The head piece and skulls were painted GW Runelord Brass and washed in GW Reikland Fleshshade Gloss. Stone floor was painted GW Mechanicus Standard Grey (any medium grey will do) and highlighted GW Celestia Grey (light grey). Base skulls were highlighted using a very small drybrush with GW Ushabti Bones. Minions skin was highlighted with GW Celestia Grey, using a small pointed brush and GW Blood for the Blood God was added around the sword wounds front and back. The garment stitches were highlighted with GW Ushabti Bones which was also used by dry brushing the bottom of the robes and garment to indicate dus and filth. GW Nihilakh Oxide was used over the brass part to indicate oxidation. Less IS more… Then a combination of GW Typhus Corrosion and GW Ryza Rust were used to weather the armor. Darkness is ready to face Solomon Kane …
