Blood Rage Ravens 3

I start layering the main colours.

The first colour will be a grey blue of which I select a "shadow" tone and apply it to the tunic and trousers having care to leave a thin black line between the different elements like the tunic and the armour in the example below.
Then i over paint with the mid tone leaving the first layer where I want shadows to be.
The final stage is layering the light tone where they are most needed to show the shape of the elements, like the creases on the wool tunic.

Try to work from inside to outside and not to miss spots that are very important to show the depth, like the tunic under the magic pot in the example below.

I use to give the shadow layer two coats of paint to have a good solid base on which to layer the subsequent tones.

As you can see in the example below, after only one coat some black is still showing from under the grey blue.

This are the three tones used. I use to leave the dried paint on the palette for later reference if I need o to mix again the same tone.

The same technique is used to paint flesh

and raw wool clothes.

Here the whole clan with main colours completed. 

Blood Rage Ravens 2

I start dry brushing metals.
First tone is 'Tinny tin' from Vallejo game colour followed by 'Plate Mail' from Army painter.
Then a layer with some matt black is used to clean all the parts that were not supposed to be metallic, eventual spots that were missed during the priming are touched up.

Here are the raven clan warriors in the three different working steps.

All the clan warriors, chieftain and mystics ready for the next stage.

While the metals are drying i add some colour to the clan token and the drakkar.

I'm pretty surprised by the quality of the models. The warrior models show plenty of details very well sculpted and defined. You can definitely find the same quality  in the clan token and the ship even if it is in a smaller scale. As an example here are some details of  the chieftain's armour.

Now i begin applying the colour scheme suggested by the owner. The result is submitted to his approval.

Once it is approved it will be applied to the rest of the models.

Blood Rage Ravens 1

Starting a new project: painting the whole components of blood rage board game from kickstarter.
The base game miniatures and the addons from kickstarter campaign are going to sum up to 86 standard size miniatures, 7 big miniatures and almost 30 tokens. I will be pretty busy in the next days 😳.

Just starting from the ravens clan.
The miniatures are been checked for mould lines which are then removed.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of the plastic material used that leave very few mould lines and that can be worked with files to which plastic usually don t react so well.

Miniatures are then washed with warm water and soap using a toothbrush.

After the bath miniatures are going to be dried with the help of an hairdryer that will also be used to make all those spear straight again.

Here they are, dried and with some straight spears.

Preparing the supports where miniatures will be attached with the use of double sided tape.

All the clan and their tokens are ready.

Running low on ammunition.

An heroic warrior is been prepared by the Valkyries of priming to join his brothers in the Valhalla of black primed warriors 😨.

All the clan primed. The black clad warriors stood in the mid of the night waiting to board the black ship over the black sea .... you get the idea.

Next step will be the proper painting.
