| Completed unit of 20 |
The first step in painting Warriors was to decide how to paint each surface. I knew I wanted a dark core, blue plating, and burning reds as highlight.
This was my initial decision. Blue shoulder plates were straightforward to paint blue, but had I stopped there, the model would have been all gray looking from front. I didn't want this, the unit would have looked like a gray mass with no detail. So, I made arm and leg plates blue to compensate.
Eventually I also painted the spine (between the shoulder plates) blue as well.
As for the weapon, however, I wanted to do something special. Some lighting-y freehand of sorts. After looking online, I found a tutorial on how to accomplish this. Basically, you just draw some zig-zag lines over a gradient, brighter than the background but within the same palette, and make all intersections between these lines extra bright.
The result was more than satisfactory:
Afterwards (not visible in that picture) I would add some OSR to make the weapon shapes pop and that's all there is to it. It's surprisingly easy (with a good brush) and the result is very consistent.
So here are some pictures of the completed unit!
