Well, I didn't get all my Sternguard finished, but I did a pretty good job on my Sergeant, Brother Tyrael. Yes, I named all my models and I'm a dork. I also had a chance to touch up my mini display board. I need to push the highlights on this miniature a bit more and add some lighter colors to make it pop, but as is, I'm pretty satisfied. This is my most recent formula for red:
- Prime with Army Painter Dragon Red
- Paint over with a really watered down Mephiston Red. The main point of this is to get all the spots that the primer missed.
- Wash with Carroburg Crimson.
- Paint with Mephiston Red. Focus on most of the mini leaving Carroburg Crimson in the deep recesses (panel lines, between the different armor plates, between the joints, etc.).
- Paint the raised areas with Evil Sunz Scarlet.
- Paint over with Bloodletter Glaze to bring the colors closer together. This is as far as I got unfortunately.
- When I continue, I plan on painting the raised areas with Wild Rider Red.
- Finally, I'll paint a very tiny highlight with Bestigor Flesh. If necessary, I'll go over the miniature again with the Bloodletter Glaze.
