A Green-Skinned Hobby: October 2013

Here is the second rank of my Arrer Boyz. Just like the first rank, I've repositioned the arms on these guys. For one of them, I had to add a big rock for him to stand on. Trying to get these guys to rank up the way I want has been quite interesting so far. Hopefully, by the time I get the unit finished it will all be worth it.

The main colors for this rank are Bubonic Brown and Bleached Bone. As usual, the non-skin areas are highlighted up with Bleached Bone. After the whole model is done, I wash it with a brown & black mix.

I did see a video on Youtube about adding a small amount of future finish to your paint to make it flow better (search Dr. Faust's painting clinic). I tried it on these and it does seem to work.

My Devlan Mud & Badab Black wash is starting to run low. I decided to mess around with trying out some different "Magic Wash," formulations. For this I tried out some different combinations of Higgins Black Ink (available at most art supply/arts & craft stores), Burnt Umber acrylic paint, Pledge with Future Floor Finish, and water. Still not super pumped about the results I got, so if you've got a sure-fire recipe, let me know. I did see a review somewhere on the blogs that the Army Painter inks are a great match for Devlan and Badab.
