Basecoats
- I primed with Standard Grey , followed by a heavy zenithal of Ghoul Grey
- Skin + crystals with Briar Queen Chill
- Leather straps and boots with Dark Brown
- Armour and jewelry with Necro Gold , and the axe head with Thrash Metal
- Hair with Matt White
- When the crystals are dry, apply a layer of Frostheart
- Cloak with Tenebrous Grey
Shading
- Use Agrax Earthshade on the gold and leather/cloak.
- 2:1 Lahmian Medium : Drakenhof Nightshade on the skin, crystals, and axe head.
- 1:1 Lahmian Medium : Dreadful Visage on the hair
Highlights
- Highlight crystals with Baharroth Blue , then dot highlights with Matt White
- Highlight the skin with Fenrisian Grey glazes
- Lightly drybrush leather and cloak with Thar Brown
- Recess shade the gold, and also add splotches, with Nihilakh Oxide
- Pick out the eyes and teeth with Ice Yellow , then wash the teeth with Agrax Earthshade
- Highlight hair with Matt White
- Drybrush the axe head with Cobalt Metal
- For the axe shaft, I basecoated it with Violet Red then added some wetblended Deep Purple highlights.
Basing
- I coated the base with Mod Podge, then applied Grimdark scatter from Krautcover.
- Base rim was then painted black via an AK Playmarker.
- At some point I may go and add Valhallan Blizzard , but not sure if I'll be using snow effects for my Norse or Risen, yet.
