How to paint the Vigilator Squad set
- Step 1: Prime the Models
Apply a base coat of primer to all the models in the Vigilator Squad. This helps the paint adhere better to the miniature and provides a smooth surface for painting. Use a grey or black primer for a traditional look. - Step 2: Base Colors
Start by painting the main colors of the models. For the armor, use a metallic silver paint, such as Leadbelcher, to give it a reflective appearance. Paint the loincloth and other fabric areas with a color of your choice, like a dark red or blue. - Step 3: Wash
Apply a wash, such as Nuln Oil, to the entire model. This will flow into the recesses and crevices, adding depth and shading to the miniature. Allow the wash to dry completely before proceeding. - Step 4: Highlights
Using a lighter shade of the base color, carefully apply highlights to the raised areas of the armor and other details. This will create contrast and make the details stand out. For example, use Runefang Steel to highlight the silver armor. - Step 5: Details
Paint the smaller details of the models, such as the seals, shoulder pads, and any decorative elements. Use appropriate colors, like Liberator Gold for the seals or a contrasting color for the shoulder pads. - Step 6: Blades
The Vigilators wield impressive executioner greatblades. Paint the blades with a Stormhost Silver and then add a wash, like Agrax Earthshade, to give them a darker, weathered look. Highlight the edges of the blades with a lighter silver or steel color for added definition. - Step 7: Bases
Finish off the models by painting the bases. Use earth tones for a realistic look, or experiment with different colors to match your preferred theme. Add texture to the bases using materials like sand or small rocks for added realism. - Step 8: Varnish
To protect your painted models and give them a professional finish, apply a coat of varnish. Use a matte varnish to reduce shine and glare, or a gloss varnish for a shiny, polished look.
