Stormwall: WIP #6 Lightning Pods
Got the shading and most of the highlighting done on the golds last night, including getting some metallics on the lightning pods, which had been waiting patiently while I worked the Stormwall.
Nice contrast gradient on the lightning pods
I got a very nice gradient from Glorious Gold (Vallejo Game Color) to a deep brown on the perforated shields. There is a similar effect on the Stormwall’s golds as well. For shading I use the mixtures listed in the back of the FoW:Cygnar book. I’m thinking I will attempt one brighter level of highlighting using Polished Gold (Vallejo Game Color). If it looks good I’ll do the same on the Stormwall. The pods have made for a nice testing ground for the gold techniques. The pods need the silvers highlighted and the Arcane blues put onto the coils and the globes. Then a quick basing and they are set.
The Stormwall will probably see the gold highlighting mentioned above, then to finish up his Arcane blues. Lastly will be the whites, but let’s not forget we still have the two foot plates and hip guards. Then basing. So close, yet so far…
