This is the first one out of four so it was the prototype for the rest.
Here are the different colours I used.
A generic grey primer, maybe not my best idea, the miniature does look so nice. The primer is kind of glossy and does not attach well to it.
Lately I'm using citadel corax white in spray which works much better. I have also a vallejo white primer for brush which I still have to try but which looks promising.
Armour
Base: Citadel Lead belcher
1st layer: GreenSuff intensity Ink tenebris blue
Axe blade
Base: citadel lead belcher
1st layer: citadel contrast gryph-charger grey (no the best idea)
2nd layer: GreenSuff intensity ink opulentus black (better, looks like a very dark, dull metal)
Axe handle
Base: vallejo bone white
Wash: diluted GreenSuff intensity ink opulentus black
This combo seems to work very good for bone like items.
Shield and not blue armour parts
Base: citadel lead belcher
1st layer: GreenSuff intensity Ink swamp brown
Armour undercoat
One layer of GreenSuff intensity Ink swamp brown directly over the grey primer
Fur
Base: citadel Zandri dust
Dots: citadel mournfang brown
Wash: 1:3 mixture of Army Painter Red wash : vallejo Umber wash
Snout and teeth
A bit of black ink and carefully almost dry vallejo bone white
Eyes
A bit of citadel wild rider red (which is actuality quite orange)
Feet
For the leather stripes, citadel contrast snakebite leather. But it has not enough contrast with the colour of the fur therefore I applied a bit of citadel Lothern blue.
For the actual feet,
Base: vallejo sombre grey
Wash with vallejo umber wash
Not the look I was aiming for
Should be more dark and brownish.
Base
Vallejo desert yellow followed by Army Painter Red wash
Rock
Army Painter Red wash directly over the grey primer
Here some photos of the different steps.
