Dungeon Saga Keldan figure

Finishing off my month of Dungeon Saga is the limited edition (Kickstart only) Keldan resin figure.  AKA he of the ear where an ear should not be.

Keldan - with new ear

Although I like what I have done with his blue armour, it doesn’t really match in with the rest of the figure.  I ended up with lots of browns/red on the bulk of the figure and then this very cold blue armour.  It’s quite striking, but not matching.

Paint still a bit wet and glossy

My light to dark for the blue armour was based on the blue scheme I had used on parts of some of the other Dungeon Saga figures.

Black
VGC Falcon Turquoise (1/4) + VGC Night Blue (3/4)
VMC Light Turquoise - Base
VMC Sky Blue
VMC Glossy White

For the shades I started with a 1/4, 3/4 mix of the Falcon Turquoise and Night Blue and then added more Night Blue.  Finally some Black was added into the mix.  Once I have finished the highlights the final white highlights was a bit stark so I did a number of bright yellow glazes (80% water) to warm up the chest piece slightly and tone back to the warmer browns.

On his cloak I went for the dusty warrior look and glazed up with some VMC Tan Yellow to get a nice road dust effect.  Again very little paint and a number of glazes to build up the effect.  I always need to stop myself from getting a bit heavy handed and impatient.

Hmm, time to base coat again?

Now that Dungeon Saga is on hold for a bit (other than playing, got another game in today with the family) I’m going to have a go at the Ral Partha Superhero (aka Death Dealer).  I’ve got a spare horse that I will do some tests with first as I play with pre-shading and using my airbrush to paint the horse.  I really need to get the bottom of the horse to be near black and the top in full sunlight and with a lot of yellow.  But that’s way spares are for.  Lots of recoating in primer.
