Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Contrast Akhelian Green (18ml)

Product Information

Stage three, use Flesh Tearers Red to fill in the panels of the cloth, the broad stripe on the shield, and sections of the helm crest. Citadel Colour’s Akhelian Green is a deep, vibrant color that is perfect for creating a variety of aquatic effects. This water-inspired green has a strong pigment concentration and a smooth consistency, making it an ideal choice for both base coats and layers. It is an acrylic paint that dries to a flat, matt finish, which makes it an excellent option for creating a realistic look on miniatures, especially for those who are just starting with miniature painting. Akhelian Green offers good coverage and is part of the foundation colors for Citadel Colour, making it a versatile and essential addition to any miniature painter’s palette. What Armies of Chaos to paint with Akhelian Green The Burning Shore is a tale of the Seraphon in the Old World, following a Bretonnian scoundrel looking to escape his debts by boarding a ship to Lustria, only to find himself swept up in a hunt for forgotten lore.

If you’re looking to read more about the depraved followers of Slaanesh and her daemons, consider the following books: I’m not going to go through as much of a step by step on the rest of the models, as fundamentally I mostly use the same recipes again, but there are a few extra bits on some of them. The Cryptothralls basically use exactly the same as the above with nothing really extra, so we’ll get them out of the way first. I wanted the bases to really contrast with the bright, warm colours I had used on the models, so I used Astrogranite, Astrogranite Debris and layers of PVA glue to create a cold, barren shoreline. A few layers of Stegadon Scale Green and Ahriman Blue in between the PVA layers, followed by a final drybrush of White Scar completed the effect.

Emperor’s Children

Runefang Steel– A bright silver metallic color that creates a striking highlight when used with Akhelian Green. It can be used for detailing or as a highlight color. The ‘decorative’ metals – bracelets, spine coverings, etc. – are based in Scale 75 Necro Gold. I highlighted them with Vallejo Metal Color Gold and then washed all over with Agrax Earthshade gloss. Both of these metallic paints are quite green which contrasts nicely with the red bronze. Snakes come in every color and can live on land or in sea. Because of their scaled skin, they make very good reference material.

Step 3: I’m doing orange weapons. I do a few thin coats of Trollslayer Orange to start. Dot the eye, do the glowing parts of the gun and the cables. Akhelian Green is a bright, vivid green color that belongs to the green hue family. To complement and balance this color, we can use various other colors that belong to different hue families. Based on color theory principles, we can choose colors that complement, split-complement or analogous to Akhelian Green. I had some awesome pink and white ink I had bought and nothing to use it on… so I figured let’s do pink Skinks! The skin is done using thinned out Volupus Pink and then a second layer with unthinned the same paint is used on the scales after the first layer dries.Wash pink parts with a thin mix of Contrast Magus Purple/Contrast Medium, wash the blue parts with a thin mix of Contrast Akhelian Green, both focusing on the recesses. Similar to the Saurus, the shield is done with unthinned Akhelian Green and the trinkets and trim in Retributor Gold .The blowpipe is done with a unthinned Darkoath Flesh , it gives a sort dried bamboo look.

Nothing fancy for the metal of the spear, I used my usual Vallejo Mecha Color Steel for this. Similar with the various trinkets and trim I used Retributor Gold as it’s a nice easy gold paint staple. Step 8: The base! I slather it all in Astrogranite texture paint. I also paint the stone by the foot and the scarab with Leadbelcher. You can draw primarily from Alligators and Crocodiles if you want, but you’ll find that a lot of those tend to be fairly drab compared to what Age of Sigmar armies tend to demand from a visual standpoint. Instead, I’d recommend looking at other reptiles and small lizards such as snakes and chameleons. Generally speaking, reptiles tend to be drab in color to blend in with their surroundings, either to protect them from predators or hide them from prey until it’s too late. There are however many brightly-colored reptiles out there; many of these are poisonous, and the color helps communicate that to potential predators. Daemon World by Ben Counter follows the Word Bearers but takes place on a Daemon World of Slaanesh in the Eye of Terror and features a daemon princess of Slaanesh as its primary antagonist.The other major difference between my characters and my rank-and-file jerks is that my character Necrons have orange hyperphase weapons. These took a bit of trial-and-error to figure out before I got a process for doing them that wasn’t particularly hateful. Stage four is to paint the hafts of the spear, the sword hilt’s binding, and the interior of the shield with Cygor Brown. Paint the base white/Wraithbone. Cover the base in Citadel Blood Angels Red Contrast (I lied about not using it, at least on the bases). While the paint is wet, bleed in some Citadel Troll Slayer Orange and stir it in places to give some variation to the red.

Tzeentch Arcanites: Tzeentch is the Chaos God of change and sorcery, and its followers are known for their magical prowess and flamboyant attire. Akhelian Green would be a great choice for creating an iridescent effect on their clothing and equipment, giving them a mystical, almost psychedelic appearance. Once that’s figured out, I based everything that was going to be metallic in Leadbelcher thinned with Lahmian Medium, and everything Canoptek or an energy blade in Caliban Green thinned with water. Previously when working on Canoptek stuff I’ve used Caliban Green Spray (now out of production), and what I found here was that CG paint alone was a little bit more of a vibrant green than I really wanted for the base on the legs. Here I salvaged it by darkening down with a wash of Dark Angels Green contrast, for all later models I used 2:1 Caliban Green/Incubi Darkness, which gave what I wanted straight away. Once both are applied, I then apply a layer of thinned Ironbreaker to the silver as well.

The baseline method I started with was inspired by two GW painting videos – one for how to do Sautekh warriors, and one for how to achieve the “glowing green” Necron vehicle effect. The former I follow pretty closely, the latter I adapted a bit to simplify, leaning a bit more into the green. My Destroyers are a good example of what I’ve ended up with in the past: Overall I’m very happy with the Necron lads I’ve finished up to this point, and I’m eager to paint the rest of the box! While the skin is wet.Wash in neat Citadel Carroberg Crimson over the claws to give a cheap gradient effect. I repeat this a couple of times to darken the claws.
