MINIATURE'S DEN PATREON GUIDES:

ABBADON THE
DESPOILER
Ultramarine on the Base
PAINTS USED
IN THIS GUIDE
Reaper: Russet Brown, Ultramarine Blue
 PART 1

(this guide also applies to the ultramarine helmet on the trophy rack, the only difference is that the one
on top has had its highlights pushed a bit further)

The basecoat was a very dark blue (Reaper Ultramarine Blue + Black).
I then used pure Ultramarine Blue to sketch the midtone, keeping the basecoat in the recesses and
bottom of volumes.
 PART 2

I mixed a very warm white (white + a bit of yellow) and added it to the Ultramarine Blue to mix an
highlight color that I painted inside of the area of midtone, making sure I wouldn't cover it too much and
keeping the brustroke very loose and "dirty", much like I did on the bones, in order to make the armor
look rough.
 PART 3

With more highlight mix added in, I painted the strongest light in the areas of extreme volume and
edges.
As for the gold, I used the same recipe of Abbadon's. To keep it darker I did a thin glaze of Russet Brown
to lower the lights and make it darker.
