Hidalgo Skeleton UnD-02 by Morgue Miniatures

Another superb miniature from Morgue Miniatures, sculpted again by Mr Paul Muller. Love the detail including a tiny skull topping Hidalgo's cane. Sheer joy to paint.

I won't mention, what colour/paints I used for bone, since it's the recipe I use for all my bone/ skeleton work which should be mentioned in previous blogs. However I will mention what colours/paints I used for the cracked earth base.

Base (cracked Earth):

1. Citadel Texture: Agrellan Earth - Thick Coat.
2. Citadel Shade: Seraphim Sepia - Shade/Wash.
3. Vallejo Model Colour English Uniform 70.921 + Vallejo Model Colour Dark Sand 70.847 - Dry Brush.

Well what can I say ? I can't be unbiased because this is one of the miniatures that is produced by my tiny cottage miniatures business that is run by myself and my lovely wife. Obviously I had to paint her, so to emphasize the amazing sculpt by Mr Paul Muller. Fantastic miniature with amazing detail.

Dress was painted using:

1. Citadel Necron Abyss Blue - basecoat.
2. Citadel Asurmen Blue - wash/shade.
3. Citadel Necron Abyss Blue + Citadel Mordian Blue - Layer.
4. Citadel Mordian Blue - Highlight layer.
5. Then airbrushed lower section of dress with Scalecolor SC33 Sunset Purple.
6. Citadel Leviathan Purple - wash/shade.
7. Scalecolor SC33 Sunset Purple - Layer.
8. Scalecolor SC33 Sunset Purple + white - Highlight Layer.

Some of the flowers on the dress were painted:

1. Vallejo Model Colour 70.966 Turquoise + Vallejo Game Colour 72.026 Jade Green.
2. White was added to the above colour for highlights.

Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game Gnolls

Compared to the pants sculpts of the water cult warriors, these sculpts of gnolls are awesome. Like the size and must say one of the best representations of gnolls in the miniature market, to date. Real pleasure to paint these guys.

Thought I'd shown you their behinds as well as the typical front.

Again I painted them slightly different for playing purposes, since the sculpts are exactly the same. So rusty armour for one and different hair colours for all 3, though stuck with the same overall grey fur.

Talking about fur, here is the colour and paints used for the dirty grey fur based on the Citadel Colour app 'Dirty Grey':

1. Citadel Skavenblight Dinge - Basecoat.
2. Citadel Agrax Earthshade - Shade/ wash.
3. Citadel Stormvermin Fur - layer/ fine lined.
4. Citadel Stormvermin Fur + a touch of white for a slightly lighter colour - edge highlight/ top layer.

For the arm and lower leg bandaging:

1. Citadel Rakarth Flesh - Basecoat.
2. Citadel Agrax Earthshade - Shade/ wash.
3. Vallejo Model Colour 70.874 Tan Earth - just as edge highlight/ top layer. Leaving the shaded area.
