Time for some miniature painting. Quite often when I paint miniatures I look at something I previously painted and think: I would like that shade of color, I wonder which one it is.

To help myself in the future, here are miniatures I paint, complete with which colors. Feel free to be inspired.

Today’s miniature is the Plagueherald from Gloomhaven, also commonly referred to as the Cthulu on Gloomhaven forums.

Basing is done using Army Painter uniform grey spray. All paints are from Army Painter.

In general these colors have very good coverage. I think all of them are only a single layer. The cultist robe I believe turned out to be too forest mossy green for what I had in mind, and scaly hide to bright.

Let’s add some more color:

I was going for slimy worm on some if the insect parts, and I am pretty sure I used «Abomination gore» for the tail on the Mindthief with great result, but it did not turn out the way I was hoping in this case. The wash lifted the brighter clothes to where I wanted them, and had a good effect on the insect parts as well.

Time for some final touches:

Quite nice. The oozing poison around the feet didn’t turn out the way I expected, but still ok. Just some basing left: glued “stones” (made from cork) to the base and then dry brushed some of them closest to the feet with the same oozing poison color.

Inconsistent light between the painting/photo sessions affects appearance. Looking forward to playing this character in Gloomhaven!
