Painting: Arcadia Quest – Hammer Beastman

Carrying on with painting the Arcadia Quest miniatures, I did the Hammer Beastman next.

	The miniatures were undercoated with grey
	I always start with the biggest surface area, and for this miniature, it was the fur. I wanted a very warm feeling to the miniature’s colour, so I started with a base coat of Scrag Brown, Mephiston Red and a little black.
	This was then heavily dry-brushed with Scrag Brown
	The fur was given a wash of a heavily watered down version of the base coat
	All other areas of the miniature were given a base coat: Teeth, horns and hooves were painted Flayed One Flesh The haft of the hammer was painted Scrag Brown Loincloth, collar and bracers were painted a dark grey Hair on the chin and hands was dry-brushed with a mixture of Scrag Brown and Flayed One Flesh Eyes were painted Mephiston Red Trimming were picked out in gold Hammer was painted grey and dry-brushed with a lighter grey The chain was picked out in Ironbreaker Fur was highlighted with successive layers of watered down Scrag Brown
	All non-fur portions of the model were then given a heavy wash with watered down black.

Finally, the various areas were highlighted with their base colour, and the pupils in the eyes picked out in black.
