Right: Basalt Grey highlights and Coal Black shadows.īasalt Grey over most of the surface except for the recesses.(center left)ġ:1 mix of Basalt Grey and Vallejo Game Color Stonewall Grey. Finally, Citadel Nuln Oil was used liberally across the whole model. Vallejo Model Color Basalt Grey was used where any highlights would go. Pro Acryl Coal Black was painted into the recesses and downward facing angles. All the skin and wings received a base coat of Vallejo Model Color German Grey. You could just as easily start on in on the next section if you use a black primer. This whole bit isn’t strictly necessary to do and was done quickly without trying to be too neat. This was kind of an underpainting to figure out how I wanted to approach the paint job and figure out where I wanted to place light and shadow. The whole model was primed with Stynylrez Ebon Flesh, a medium brown color. The paint will also fill in the gaps a bit more.īe’lakor himself was pinned on a 40mm round base using a paperclip and superglue. Some gaps may need a couple layers and could benefit from being sanded when the glue dries. I did this anywhere I could easily see the gaps where two pieces came together. Liquid superglue will tend to seep into the seam and mostly fill it in. A dot of superglue was put down on a surface then a paperclip was used to transfer the glue to the seam. The first thing after assembly was to reduce the largest seams, especially on the chest. Anything here is could be swapped for any paint that looks close to the color. Each have their own attributes and I recommend using whatever gives you results you like.
My paint collection has a variety of brands. I could see spending another twenty hours polishing it up into a really nice display or competition piece.
The chainmail and skulls on the tabard are cool as hell, and the whole thing is hanging on rings through his flesh. This is a great model, full of interesting details. Be’lakor himself ended up taking about fourteen hours to complete, and the base another nine.
My aim with this project was to mimic the box art but not try to go full Heavy Metal on the thing. In today’s How to Paint Everything, we’re covering a Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar double threat: Be’lakor, the first Daemon Prince, as painted by Daniel “Skails” Rodenberg. In our How to Paint Everything series we look at how to paint well, everything, talking about different assembly methods, techniques, and colors used.
