The Others 7 Sins
Tutorial:
1. Black primer as usual (C)
2. White airbrush cover from top - head, shoulders, arms, aboms heads. Had some problems with white consistency so some small dots are visible..oh well..
3. Working with airbrush and reds: Nebula Red (Minitaire) , Khorne, Mephiston, Evil Sunz (C)
4. Highlighted layers of orange and yellow: Lava Orange (V), FG Yellow(C)
4. Teeth with Skeleton Bone (V) and tongues with Black (V).
5. Wash here and there in recesses - Nuln Oil For gums, and Red for the rest
6. Skeleton Bone for teeth washed with Agrax
7. As usual my favorite technical - Blood for the Blod God in mouths, where the meat is visible (C)
8. Shiny Gloss Varnish from Vallejo in aboms mouths, tongue, Avatar "hair"
9. White watered down for teeth correction and nails. Black nails for Avatar - varnished with gloss
10. Yellow eye dots at the end.
11. Black bases
Because of the multiple layers of red you just need to be patient. Its very rewording at the end but it takes time for the paint to dry.

That 50 shades of red is pretty cool

indeed haha, thanks

Great stuff again skolo.

One of these days, I will have to try an airbrush. I can never get my gradient looking quite like that with a brush. I'm not suggesting an airbrush is a panacea to my lack of skill, but it would be interesting to try.

I think Pride is the best one thus far, though Death was a very close second. Once again, great job and thanks for sharing.

Wow those look awesome. I just started with painting miniatures but mine wont ever be as good as that, also because i cannot afford the time to do it that exact even if i get some more skillz with time.

thanks mate!

Oh my, those are lovely designs on the sails. I only have luck with simple design when it comes to free hand work. Excellent job, as always.

Its not a free hand entirely. Designs are up a little bit so its easier to paint

All of your minis look amazing!

thanks mate. will post some new stuff soon

@Skolo, Nice paint job on your dread fleet. I started mine but have only finished some of the terrain.

Thanks. Will update this thread with the rest of the ships soon
