step-by-step: knight of balance

1   2   3   4

Painting the mask: Started with Vallejo Dark Grey & Black mix, continue highlight with Vallejo Neutral Grey on the top part of the mask and with a touch of Vallejo Sky Grey here and there on the top edges for light reflection.


Painting the armor: Blue armor. I was really into this one that I forgot to take detail pictures of it. Ooops! Done it again L Anyway, the concept is the exactly like you’re painting a gemstone, the way GW told people on their masterclass article. Start with black coat, I highlight the bottom part with a mix of Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue and Vallejo Blue Grey. Then I highlighted the top part (only on the corner where the light will get reflected, in this case the top left corner) the same way, with addition of Vallejo Sky Grey to the mix. To smooth out the paint progression, I applied a wash of Dark Prussian blue thinned down with consistency of 1:5


Painting the trench coat: Dark brown leather trench coat for our knight. I highlighted the black with Vallejo Black Brown, followed by adding a little bit of Vallejo Light Brown. I want it to look like shiny leather and not suede, so I didn’t put too much light brown. Instead, I just highlight the edges of foldings and the bottom of the coat with Ivory and a little bit of the brown mix, to keep the transition smooth.
