Painting Solomon Kane Shadows

Posted on April 17, 2021

These 6 shadows are identical yet very quick and satisfying to paint.

As usual, apply a solid zenithal lighting primer, using black/grey/white. This will work well with the GW Contrast paints.
I used 3 GWE Contrast paints: Skeleton Horde for the entire miniature, Gygor Brown for the recesses and Militarum Green for some fold areas, as as to mix the tone and establish gradients with the Skeleton Horde while it was still wet.
Once the contrast paint is dry, just go over the stitches with GW Ushabti Bones (with a fine brush) insisting upon the stiches most exposed to light and paint the base with a solid black (here I use craft paint).
A subtle touch of yellow paint will create an ‘eye’ effect
The shadows are ready to plague Kane on his path to redemption..
