The Snivelling Nosepicking Menace – Part 3

Posted on January 31, 2021

Drybrush the pump wagon with XV-88 and Ungor Flesh for varied wood highlights

Apply Bronze and raw metal color of choice to the metallic parts. I suggest reserving the bronze color for the front wheel stamp and the rear wheel letter.

Now apply the details, gray for the stone and mushroom stalks, red, blue, purple (whichever else you want) for the mushrooms and beige (Ushabti Bones) for the ropes. There are lots of details thus this step should take you a while. Use a fine or well pointed brush.

When details are done, apply shades with the appropriate color washes . By default, Army painter Strong tone is a good go-to shade.

For metallic tones, use Nuln Oil Gloss and Reikland Felshade Gloss (good for any bronze/brass/gold tones).Using gloss washes maintains the glossiness of the metallic color and does not dull its shine.

Highlight rope with the base color so as to make details pop.

Highlight metallic colors with the base bronze color and Stormhost SIlver for raw metal.

Glue the pumpwagon riders to the pumpwagon, dry fitting them first to ensure optimum placement. I suggest gluing them on prior to varnishing so as to reinforce the bond with varnish.

Apply desired texture to the base (I used Agrellan Badland from GW along with some flock grass). Do not forget to varnish miniatures with a layer of gloss varnish followed by one layer of matt varnish. The Snotling team is ready for the big game!
