And finally the turn comes to the last member box of the suicide squad.
Katana!
Primer
As in the rest of the other cases we are going to use Chaos Black and White Corax
from Games Workshop (for short, if you see that I put an asterisk * after the
name of the paintings will mean that is a GW paint, otherwise I will put the
brand back).
Skin
To begin with the skin we are going to use Tallarn Flesh*, if you do not
have this paint, you should look for some clear-flesh paint (something lighter
than Cadian Fleshtone*). We will give to the miniature a wash mixing some
Seraphim Sepia* with Reikland Fleshshade* to make an oriental tone flesh.
Finally, we will make some lights with the base color and a mixture 1/1 of
Flayed One Flesh* in prominent areas.
Pants
We are going to use Brown Gray (of Scale75 brand) as the base color, we will
give an Abaddon Black* wash (if you see that when you wash with paint the
effect is not right, some hand soap to the mixture with water. The soap will
break the surface tension of the water and you will have a uniform wash). We
will illuminate with the Brown Gray and raise it by mixing with Dawnstone*.
Top (to call it somehow), mask, armband and knee pads
We will use Krieg Khaki* as base color, we will apply
Seraphim Sepia*, lighting with color base and last light with Ceramite White*.
To do the mask, we will do a small wash with Xereus Purple*
in the area of the "eyes". To knee pads also we will do the same wash
and brush the details with Xv-88* illuminated with XV-88* mixed with Dorn
Yellow* and end lights with pure Dorwn Yellow*.
Jacket and hair
Necron Abyss* as base color, wash with Abaddon Black* and we will make the
lights with the base color mixed with Administratum Grey*.
To paint the hair we are going to use Abaddon Black* as the color base
and adding lights with Dawnstone* and Administratum
Grey*.
Red parts
We are going to paint all the red parts of the miniature with Mephiston
Red* mixed with Rhinox Hide* as the base color, to make the lights we are going
to use Mephiston and Evil Sunz Scarlet*. Then we are going to draw a circle in
the mask with the same shade of red base, we will draw another circle in the
downside of the previous circle with Mephiston Red* and a small line near the
white part with Evil Sunz Scarlet*.
Yellow details of the jacket
We are going to start with XV-88* illuminated with Bubonic Brown* and
Dorn Yellow*, then we will make a wash with Seraphim Sepia* and we will
illuminate it again with Dorn Yellow*.
Boots, gloves and brown parts
For these parts we will use the same colors that we've been using in the
brown parts of the rest of the squad. Rhinox Hide*, Mournfang Brown*, Xv-88*
and a gentle washing at the end with Agrax Earthshade* if you find that the
color is going a little bit brightly.
Metals and base
Once more, we can take advantage of the fact that the miniature has not
too many metal parts to apply a non-metallic-metal technique. If we decided not
to use this technique, we can use the typical Leadbelcher*, followed by
Ironbreaker* and Runefang Steel* for plated metals, and Gehenna’s Gold*, Auric
Armour Gold* and Runefang Steel* for the gold. We will end the base as we like
and that will be all. Katana is ready!
