WARG RIDERS

As usual I’ve primed the miniatures in black followed with some grey and white zenithal highlights applied from above:

You can see that I’ve also provided

some initial basing as described in
the video series using Vallejo’s Dark
Earth Basing paste and some cork
rocks:

I’m now just painting the rocks grey, then providing a light dry brush using Ice Yellow (Buff, Ivory etc would
also be fine):

Next I’m painting the log using Militarum Green wet blended into some Wyldwood:
 I’m now going to paint each of the wargs - also using the Contrast Colours,
And here I’m just shading the
trying a different combination of tones for each one. For my first warg I’m
ground with Agrax Earthshade:
using Basilicanum Grey and Space Wolves Grey:

I’m generally using the Basilicanum Grey for the darker areas, and the
Space Wolves Grey for the lighter areas:

For the brown warg I’ve chosen

Skeleton Horde and Darkoath Flesh:
For the last warg I’ve decided to go in-between the grey and brown looks
created so far, so I’m using mainly Basilicanum Grey and Skeleton Horde,
plus a little Black Templar for some of the darkest shadows:

Here’s how they look so far:

 Next I’m painting the goblin skins,
I’m now taking a moment to tidy up any areas that have been accidentally
and for my first I’m using Militarum
hit with the Contrast Colours:
Green and Plaguebearer Flesh:

Once dry I decided to introduce some further variation with some Magos Purple which I’m applying to places
like the knees, elbows, and face:
 For Goblin No.2 I’m using Guilliman Flesh and Plagebearer Flesh:

And for No.3 I used Miliatrum Green, And I once again used some Magos
and Creed Camo for the shadows: Purple for some of the extremities:

Next I’m painting the hair for all three goblins using a vaguely dark mix of
Wyldwood and Basilicanum Grey:
 I’m now using Gryph-Charger Grey for several areas including the metal
shoulders, plating on the boots, and the wrist bands:

I’m also using this for the stones in I’m now using Wyldwood and Skeleton Horde in varying proportions for
the slings: various elements including the strap across the back:
 Some of the arm bands: The sling shot:

And I used Basilicanum Grey for the

I’m also using this for the saddle for
The boots: brown warg to help separate the
the grey warg:
elements:

Once we’ve coloured the entire fig-

ures I’ve chosen to provide a spray
For the loincloths I used a generally light-ish tone using a mix of Skeleton of matte varnish to kill the slightly
Horde and Gryph-Charger Grey: waxy finish of the Contrast Colours
(you could just do this at the end of
course):
 They’re already looking pretty good, and you could absolutely stop here
if you like!

I’m now going to pick out a few details starting with the warg’s eyes which Next I’m throwing some Magos
I’m painting pure white for now: Purple into the mouths:
 And for the noses I’m using Abyssal
I’m then painting the teeth using Deck Tan:
Blue (or Dark Sea Blue):

I’m then providing a few highlights

with the addition of some White
Sands (or Ivory):

I’m now glazing over the eyes using some fluorescent tones; I’ve used Magenta, Orange, and Red but you could
use whatever you like of course:
 Next I’m going to bring a little spar-
kle to the metal work, so will pro-
vide a few quick highlights using Ice We can be pretty sketch here:
Yellow followed with some Ivory:

We can also apply some additional

Gryph-Charger Grey to further dark-
en the shadows or smooth things
over if necessary:

We can also add a few touches of The process here was pretty fast
rusty weathering to further push and loose, yet we’ve managed
the contrast of tones; this is just to create quite an eye-catching
Mars Orange: non-metallic metal look:
I’m now just mixing some pale skin tones using Yellow Ochre, Ice Yellow, We can also pick out the little fangs,
Flat Green etc to pick out a couple of details on some of the faces where and maybe dot a small glint into the
the zenithal highlights left a bit too much shadow: eyes with something like Deck Tan:

I’m now turning my attention to the

And I’m also hitting the claws on base where I’m first adding a few
the wargs: quick yellowish green highlights to
the logs:

And I’m now sticking down plenty of grass tufts, along with some little
leaves created with one of the leaf punches by Green Stuff World:
 To finish the riders off I’m now add-
int some war paint (this is Medium
Blue highlighted up with a little Ivo-
ry):

And this is just some off white (Deck I might also add a little weathering And a little black lining to aid defini-
Tan etc): to the back of the loincloth: tion for places like the wrists:

And this completes the Warg Riders!
