Face of the New Plastic Chaos Warrior

In this last example, the face is of a Chaos Warrior, and in order to show the furious aspect of this character I painted the face with an exaggerated contrast.

The basecoat was Citadel Tanned Flesh with a first highlight coat of Dwarf Flesh painted directly over the majority of the face. I added Elf Flesh to the Dwarf Flesh and highlighted the raised portions of the face. I picked out and highlighted the Grey horns before continuing with the flesh tones of the face.

Then using a fine brush (a Winsor & Newton Series 7 / 000) I applied a very thin wash of Dark Flesh to the creases only, to enhance the contrast. Once this shading tone was dry, I reapplied the Dwarf Flesh/ Elf Flesh mix over the raised areas. The rest of the highlights were then picked up using Elf Flesh on it’s own, then mixed with Pallid Flesh. Then further highlights of pure Pallid Flesh and finally a small amount of Skull White added to the Pallid Flesh for the Key Highlights.
