How I Paint Iron Warriors, Part 2: The Leather
Here is Part 2 of how I paint my Iron Warriors. After I have finished the metals (see Part 1) all the details are done in no particular order. In this case I chose to do the leather parts of the model first.
 |
Step 1: Vermin BrownAll the areas that will be leather are painted with Vermin Brown. It is a nice dark red/brown that covers the metallic paint well. |
 |
Step 2: Snakebite LeatherSnakebite Leather is then used to high light the leather areas. This is a heavy highlight, meaning that only the deepest recesses are left Vermin Brown. |
 |
Step 3: Snakebite Leather and Bleached BoneI then start to mix Bleached Bone into the Snakebite Leather for the highlights. This is a progressive stage where I start 2:1 SL to BB, then 1:1 and finally 1:2 SL to BB. |
 |
Step 4: Bleached BoneI then spot highlight with pure Bleached Bone. This is focused on the top most areas and adds a bit of shine to the leather. |
 |
Step 5: Ogryn Flesh WashFinally I use Ogryn Flesh to tie the highlights together and tone back the pure Bleached Bone. Devlan Mud could work for this wash as well but I wanted a slightly redder looking leather. |
Now that the leather is done I move on to the next stage, in this case the bone.
Now, on to Part 3: The Bone! (coming soon!)
