The Battle with Miniatures
Slayer(s)
After watching a demo game in Games Workshop I got the urge to paint my Slayer out of the Skull Pass set. First problem was that I didn't have blazing Orange, which the paint guide suggested I should use for his hair. Painting both of the supplied models with my own mix of orange I was a bit disappointed - the pigment in the yellow seemed to be very dilute, and so it took me many coats to get a flat colour. Then I was hoping I could red ink wash the hair, so that it gave a pinline red shadow in all the groves of the hair - but that wasn't going anywhere either, so I took a while trying to get the shade - but in the end it didn't work. The flesh, of which there is plenty, was easier. However the interface between the flesh and the hair was not very good - so I ended up painting a line of black ink between them to make it stand out more. Quite happy with the skin though, so I also provided you with the view that the infantry get as the Slayer charges ahead - coz I was proud of his tush.
