Convergence of Cyriss
Back in October I did some quick commission work to knock out some Convergence of Cyriss for a repeat customer.
The client wanted something darker/bronzier than the studio scheme, and so I hit the internet looking for sample images, schemes and guides I could borrow from. I found and it fit the bill nicely.
The scheme is:
- Prime Black
- Warplock Bronze
- Wash of Aggrax Earthshade
- Paint / Dry Brush of Brass Scorpion
- Wash of Coellia Greenshade
- Paint / Dry Brush of Sycorax Bronze (the store did not have Runelord Brass)
For the glows, I used my standard technique of putting down a thin wash of off-white on the areas, then wash with various colours.
Because there were so many Servitors, I did them in a couple of different colours first, then picked what turned out the best (IMO) for Axis. This also gives the client some places to go when differentiating units from each other.
The biggest concern I had for the commission was that the Servitors were already assembled when I got them. The clear plastic stands were going to be ruined if I got primer on them. Rather than source a paint-on primer, I instead covered the stands with blue-tac and newspaper before priming. I tried using masking tape, but the glue was annoying to get off afterwards.
