Tech-priest Enginseer (adeptus mechanicus / skitarii)
Also for my adeptus mechanicus army. This is the old enginseer. Relatively quick paintjob. I primed black, sprayed in vallejo metal airbrush colours steel and chrome. Steel all over, then chrome in zenithal. Then I washed the entire thing with nuln oil gloss. After that I painted the rest of the mini. The rest is the same as on the skitarii rangers and vanguard and dominus (also posted here). The dominus has more time spent, so he's received a somewhat smoother paintjob. Grey cloth: 1. Basecoat adeptus battlegrey 2. shade agrax earthshade 3. reapply basecoat of adeptus battlegrey. I do this with a thinned version of it which I feather out towards the recesses so I leave a darker shade. It's relatively quick and provides an acceptaby smooth finish. 4. Adeptus battle grey and vallejo model colour ivory mix in 1:1 ratio (I think flayed one flesh is very similar). Applied roughly where the highlights will be to sketch the highlights. 5. Adeptus battlegrey thinned and fat glazed on the transitions between the highlight sketches and base. 6. Thinned vmc ivory as final highlight. Applied in short streaks (very quick to do) along the bottom edges so the cloak looks a bit frayed. Yellow: 1. Averland sunset 2. Agrax Earthshade. I just wash all over, though you can recess shade i suppose. In that case you can skip step 3. 3. Averland sunset reapplied. A bit like I did with the cloth, but flatter. 4. 1:1 mix averland sunset vmc ivory 5. edge highlight ivory. 6. Sometimes I glaze some vallejo model air tank brown into the recesses to give more colour. I'm not sure I did here. But I did on the dominus. Off-white cloth: 1. Zhandri dust 2. Agrax eartshade 3. Zhandri dust reapplied (same way as with the grey) 4. Screaming skull highlights, also feathering to make it smooth. 5. VMC ivory as final highlight (or flayed one flesh) I'll copy this to the skitarii vanguards and rangers post as well. If people find that post and wonder about the colours they don't have to check here...
