Working on these Ur Ghul was an interesting experience for me. I don\’t have a particularly large array of GW paints (Contrast excepted). And as such, although I regularly watch Duncan and Peachy\’s painting tutorials – I seldom follow them particularly closely. While watching the Spindle Drones video they put out – I realized I really liked the finish and was impressed with the speed. I then checked out the Ur Ghul video and was similarly impressed.

Inspired as I was, I decided to try following the tutorial as closely as possible* and the result? Well… I kicked it off with a zenithal…

So having already departed from the video I decided to try and bring it a little back on point…

Drakenhoff nightshade, thinned with Lahmia medium – simple… except I don\’t have any Lahmia medium (coulda sworn I did!) so proxied with Contrast medium. It worked pretty well nonetheless:

A quick second coat:

And then a drybrush with Ulthuan Grey… which, again, I don\’t have soo another proxy. This time I used ScaleColour – Arctic Blue as a proxy.

Adding in the Druchii Violet and feathering it out with a drybrush is the first stage of this whole process that I did exactly according to the tutorial.

Eventually I even remembered to do the faces and glazed in the bloodletter as well!!!

And with that, they were done. This is a really simple process that produces great results in about 2hrs (while simultaneously working on the Spindle Drones).
