Base formulation for World Eaters

So. Starting off with 10 guys plus a character. The character is intended to be an Armistos.

This is only for the bodies, I shall be doing the arms, backpacks, weapons, and shoulder pads separate. 

All of these guys will be armed with Volkite Culverin.

Step 01. Prime bodies + heads with Tamiya Light Grey.

Step 02. First coat of white. Specifically, Insignia White airbrush by Vallejo Air. This coats everything. The first thin coat goes all over.

Step 03. The second thin coat of Insignia White, once the first is dried properly, comes from above and left. Coat the left side of the bodies as that is the direction of light that I'm using. Ensure that there is no real gapping or grey showing through.

Step 04. First thin coat on the right side and from below. White Grey, again Vallego Air. Ensure proper coverage and allow time for previous coats to dry. This will allow a proper coverage and let everything get situated. Also will provide small contrast to the other white for the "darker" side.

Step 04. Highlight spots where shade would fall with shin layer of Pale Blue Grey, Vallejo Air. This goes into the darkest recesses and areas where the least light would show. Be careful with this as to much can overtake the work already done.

Step 05. Seal all work at this point. Gloss varnish, again, Vallejo brand.

Step 06. Apply glaze of 50% gloss black wash and water, mixed 1:1 with gloss varnish. Wash all the white area. This will allow shadows and highlights to spread, and will prevent it from pooling due to the extra gloss levels.

Step 07. Chipping. Using a sponge, apply GW Chaos Black in stippling across the entire miniature. If it gets too heavy, don't worry, it'll clear up later.

Step 08. More Chipping. Using a different sponge, or the same if you don't care, stipple GW Leadbelcher across the armor panels. Hit the sharp edges as those areas will obviously see more wear. Again, don't worry about being too heavy.

Step 09. After everything is dry, hit the knee pads with Vallejo Blue from model air. This is somewhat transparent, it may require a second coat once the first is dry for proper coverage.

Step 10. Areas where the legs meet the crotch guard where there is the rubber looking gasket appearing ripples, apply Vallejo's Nato Black from model air.

Step 11. Hit all ornamental metals (buckles, armor trim) with Warplock Bronze from GW.

Step 12. Hit all ornamental metals with a layer of Vallejo Copper again from model air. Be careful on this step not to get too much off the specifics.

Step 13. Highlight the ornamental metals with Vallejo Bright Brass from model air. Again, be careful.

Step 14. Touch each of the ornamental metals with Minitaire Ghost Tint brown. This will wash the brass down and give it a red gold tint. Be especially careful on this step.

Step 15. All non ornamental metals get a layer of GW Leadbelcher.

Step 16. All non ornamental metals get a highlight brush of Vallejo Steel from model air.

Step 17. Apply gloss varnish. Allow to dry then apply Waywatcher Green Glaze from GW to the eyes. Repeat as needed to reach desired green level on the eyes.


Images will come once I get them all taken.
