Reaper's Golgath, Eradicator - 2270



Golgoth, Eradicator was a Reaper done as a bones project for our DC area painting group. This figure was a blast to paint - the bones were cool and the robe allows for some real shading and highlighting techniques.

There were a couple of firsts for this project. First time that I used the pastel colors in my paint tray on a massive scale. And the first time that I ever used a color wheel to coordinate colors - the red-violet robe started out the project and therefore used a blue-green and a yellow-orange according to the color wheel triad.

The technique used to paint was once again a layering - whereby I would use a color and keep moving up the scale, applying a lighter color on top of the darker color.
