Wraithlord number 1

So having established the scheme I wanted to use with the warlock previously, I have continued to apply it to the pair of Wraith Lords in my army.

The Paint job for this model took alot longer then I would like and the second Wraith Lord was alot faster after I tweaked it a bit.

I started with a base coat of Orkhide shade, the darked green, and then a coat of goblin green over that to get a nice solid green.

Then I layered in Scorpion green all the way up to sunburst yellow, before then using a little green wash in the joints to clean up the deep shadows.

This layering took forever and I would not be repeating that style except for maybe a special character. The result was really nice and I really like the look after but this was about 10 hours of painting yellow, over and over.

For the second Wraith Lord I skipped right to Iyanden Darksun for the Base coat, and then green washed the whole thing before doing the yellow layering. This gave a very similar end result for about 1/4 the time, though the green did not quite have the same feel to it.

I think for any other models with this scheme I will start with the Iyanden Base, a sunburst layer over that, a very watered down Scorpion Green over that to get the same original feel, then carefully green wash the recesses before cleaning up the yellow to finish.

I think it will take a little longer then the last try, but most of that will be drying time rather then painting time!
