Sylvaneth Revenant Seekers

 

Another new Sylvaneth unit next, a unit of Revenant Seekers. The Revenants themselves were painted using my standard Revenant colour scheme. the other bits were painted as follows:

Red Chitin

Khorne Red >Wazdakka Red >Squig Orange > Bestigor Flesh. Glaze shade Gal Vorbak Red underneath and on bits of wings close to bug body.

Brown Chitin

Rhinox Hide > Doombul Brown >Tuskgor Fur

Wings

Morghast Bone > Screaming Skull towards edges.

Gold 

Fulrite Copper

Shades

Once the base colours had been applied, the whole model received a coat of gloss varnish followed by a coat of 50/50 mix of Soft tone and quick shade mixing medium.

Sylvaneth Gossamid Archers

 

Following the Lady of Vines I worked on the new unit of Gossamid Archers. I painted this as per my usual Tree Revenants - but the skin was just heavy-thinned plague bearer flesh over Wraithbone

The chitin of the Bug was painted as per Arch Revenant and the wings were airbrushed Plaguebearer flesh. then plague bearer flesh mixed with Militarum Green for the darker areas. This mix was then used to shade along each wing vein.

Sylvaneth Warsong Revenant

I'm preparing for a small 6 player AoS tournament this year so want to get all the newer Sylvaneth models in my list painted up... First up is the Warsong Rev. 

Lovely model, pain in the arse to paint! hair and tentacles everywhere!

But let's go through the scheme and process.

Leafy cape

This was based with Castellan Green and airbrush highlighted with Loren Forest then Elysian Green. Airbrushed shaded with Caliban Green. Then shaded Beil-tan Green/Contrast Medium 50/50 mix trice. I then edge highlighted with Loren Forst and Orgyn Camo.

Legs

Baed coated Rhinox Hide, shaded with Wyldwood/Contrast Medium mix and highlighted Doombull Brown and Karak Stone.

Spirit Skin/Horn

This was base coated Grey seer and then applied a light layer of Plaguebearer flesh (not thinned with medium, just thinly applied). This was followed up with a thin layer of Iyanden Yellow. I then highlighted with Pallid Wych Flesh. This process is different to how I've done the spirit skin in the past and doesn't quite match... I'll try an amended process on the Gosamer Archers soon!

Bug eggs

Basecoated Grey Seer then applied Magos Purple/Contrast Medium mix all over. Then Magos Purple on the lower half of each egg. Highlighted up with Pallid Wych Flesh.

Green Bark

Basecoated Death World Forest shaded Agrax Earthshade and highlighted Loren Forest and Orgyn Camo.

Gold

Basecoated Fulgrim Copper, shaded Argax then highlighted Fulgrim Copper and Stormhost Silver.

Base Tentacles

Based Caliban Green then airbrush highlighted Warpstone Grow, Elysian Green and Screaming Skull.

Sylvaneth Tree Revenants

Today I'm presenting a unit of Tree Revenants that I completed last week.

These models were split down into 2 sub assemblies for painting - tree sections and spirit sections. I did this because I wanted to undercoat the spirit areas of the models with grey rather than black and it also allowed me airbrush both sections much easier!

So, lets go through the process and paint scheme.

The bark was painted with Caliban Green and then various areas, such as the knees, hands and tips of the branches where transitioned up with Warpstone Glow and then a mix of Moot Green/Warpstone Glow. The leaves were painted with Moot Green and then coated in Lamenters Yellow glaze. The small details were painted with standard gold/brown colours.

The spirit part of the models were painted Palid Wych Flesh, then shaded with a *very* thinned Athonian Camoshade/Quickshade Wash Mixing Medium mix in order to apply a light shade to the models. Once this had dried I applied a glaze of Lamenters Yellow.

The hair was painted Averland Sunset and highlighted up through Yriel Yellow > Flash Gitz Yellow.

The weapon blades were painted White Scar and then Baharroth Blue was airbrushed onto sections of the weapons to create the transitions. The weapon hafts and details were painted in the gold and brown colour schemes used on the banner (covered below).

The banner trim and back was painted with Warpstone Glow whislt the motif was painted with Baharroth Blue and the background Celetra Grey. The wooden parts of the banner were painted Rhinox Hind and transitioned to Caliban Green higher up. Again the leaves were painted Moot Green and coated with Lamenters Yellow glaze. Balthasar Gold > Gehenna's Gold >Auric Armour Gold were used for the top section of the banner.

For the final details I applied Baharroth Blue to the rune markings, the leave robe was painted using the standard yellow colours of Averland Sunset > Yriel Yellow > Flash Gitz Yellow. 

Once I had completed the painting, I applied 2 coats of Gloss Varnish and then coated the models in a 50/50 mix of Army Painter Soft Tone and Quickshade Wash Mixing Medium. Once that had dried the models were based as per my other Sylvaneth models.
