Recently, I found this classic for a somewhat reasonable price on ebay. I came ready primed, although the primer seemed to be a bit old, it was a rather dark white.
So for an easy first highlight, I drybrushed the mini a fresh white.
I then applied thinned
Golden SoFlat Red Violet into the recesses. At this stage I discovered what is very apparent in the final picture: the mini was primed, but mold lines had not been removed... At this stage I didn't want to go back, as I already had three coats of paint on and did not want to start from scratch.
Main colors were applied as glaze, to let the two whites and the purple shading show through:
Golden SoFlat Quinacridon Magenta and
Golden SoFlat Cadmium Orange. The skin and scrolls were also mixed from these plus
Golden SoFlat Bismuth Vanadate Yellow.
Over the magenta, I applied an oil wash with
Schmincke Norma violet dark, removing it from the raused areas again. Into the base colors I then mixed
Schmincke Zinc White for highlights. Lastly, I painted chaos runes with
Pro Acryl Bold Titanium White.
Finally, I applied my usual base cover.
