If you’re looking for inspiration or help with your Ogor units now that they got their Battletome, check out Rob’s Mournfang Pack tutorial.
In our previous Ogor Painting Tutorial, we went over how to pull off horns, fast fur, and a bunch of other neat hobby how-to techniques. Going off of where we left the Mournfang previously, here is where you want to keep working on the fine detailing.
Hitting the Metal & Leather With a Wash
Rob put a gloss coat of varnish on top of the model before any washes were applied. This is just a protective layer for the paint and preps you for a wash. Next, Rob mixed the Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil gloss washes together to create a grimy metal wash. By applying these washes over a semi-gloss varnish, the paints are more controllable and are easier to correct, vs. if you put the wash directly over the freshly-dried paint with no barrier.
When you do the Ogor Rider’s armor, make sure you also do a once-over pass on the leather straps on the Mournfang.
Pulling Details Out of the Skin
After the armor wash dried, Rob applied the Gloss Reikland Flesh to the skin of the Ogor. Once again the Gloss varnish, coupled with the Semi-Gloss varnish makes for extremely smooth and near perfect drying.
Once the washes are dry, its time to head back to the skin with a quick highlight layer using a light flesh tone. Pay careful attention to where the light is brighter on the model and go over those areas with small strokes of a highlighted flesh paint. Then you’re all done. Just remember to matte varnish your models when everything including the washes are dry. Otherwise the paint may rub off during gameplay.
