Viktor Pendrake
by lazypeon
Viktor is the first model from my third commission. Painted for a local Minion player, the brief was to use the studio scheme (or close to it), with a preference to match Cygnar more than Minions so that he would be at home in either army. The other elements of the commission are Maelok the Dreadbound and 2 Boneswarms.
This is a fun model, with a surprising amount of detail (i.e. the last 20% of the model took 80% of the time). The majority is plate armour, but there are brooches, bow, books, quiver and glasses. Here’s the breakdown of the palette:

- Basecoat of Black Primer
- Heavy Drybrush of Pig Iron
- Drybrush of Chainmail (Citadel)
- Drybrush of Mithril Silver (Citadel)

- Highlight with Bootstrap Leather + Rucksack Tan
