Ophidian warrior/Guerrier ophidien
This beauty took about a week of evenings to do and I'm well chuffed with the coppery NMM armour. The base is made up of broken Hirst pillars, lumps of cork, Vallejo pumice paste, bird sand and earth scatter. Colours used were... Skin: VMC French mirage blue, shade with VMC Oxford blue, highlight with VMC pale blue grey, then VMC silver grey. Cloth: 3:1 mix of VMC black and vermillion, highlighted by adding more vermillion, then red and golden yellow. The green bottle: Base with VMC black green, then layer up through deep green, VGC goblin green, then VMC light green, finishing with white sparkles. Copper/bronze NMM: Base with VMC burnt cadmium red, shade with a 50/50 mix of GW scorched brown and VMC turquoise. Re-highlight with Burnt cadmium red, then layer up through red leather to orange brown, add a spot of base skintone, then a spot of pale skin, then a spot of ivory. Verdigris was a wash of VGC foul green, then VMC verdigris glaze. All comments and votes are welcome.
