Time to get the paints out. Tonight I have set myself a small target of getting the dwarven ship from dreadfleet finished off and to get a solid start to the skin of my small group of gretchin.
As you can see I got the basecoat of the skin done the other night on the gretchin and the ship has had its first few layers.
It has been a bit of an experiment with the gretchin. Over the years of my wargaming I have never had a greenskinz army in any of the games I played.
When we started with 40k back in the late 90's Eldar was my thing, then as I progressed into WHFB Orc's and Goblins never really made it into my wanted list. This has made the skin of the gretchin a bit of a challenge and a new experience for me.
After trying out a few things I settled for the skin tone in my previous post. Its a basecoat of Knarloc Green on a black undercoat, thena Badab Black wash, then Foundry's Phlegm green and various amounts of white under I get as light as I would like.
I want these guys to look bright but not like they are on their way to creamfields!
As far as the Dreadfleet ship was concerned, I always had this in my head as a green based colour scheme so it seemed to make sense to have a go at the same time.
Pics after the session to follow ;)
