Before we start painting the

miniature, we locate the light

reflections on the wings, by
taking a picture of it under our
desklamp. I have primed the
miniature in Chaos Black as it
has a great shine to it, wich
makes it easier to locate the
different light reflections. I
have added a guide for how to
locate light reflections in the
post description.
I used this photo,
as a reference for
how i wanted the
wings to look – i
really like how the
moonlight makes
the wings see
through’ish on
some areas. Lets
go!
We now glaze the upper half of the wings & the light reflections
(see reference photo from page 2), by adding 1 part more of
ratskin flesh to the basecoat mix – add 2-3 parts of water. From
here on we add bit by bit, ratskin flesh to the previous mix &
move further towards the very upper area of the wings. The sand
coloured arrow is where the glazing start, & black arrow is
where we end.
We now add 1 part more of
rhinox hide to the basecoat
mix & glaze the lower quarter
of the wings & the naturally
shaded areas (see reference
photo on page 3) – add 2-3
parts of water.
We now once again add bit by bit more rhinox hide to
the previous mix, moving further towards the edges of
the wings – we furthermore shade the holes in the wings
with pure rhinox hide. Add 2-3 parts of water. Finally
highlight the edges & holes, with a 2:1 mix of ratskin flesh
& rhinox hide. Add 1-2 parts of water.
We now glaze the whole wings with
thinned down cavalry brown – add 4
parts of water. We furthermore add
veins, with a 3:1 mix of cavalry brown
& rhinox hide. Finished ☺ !
