Games-Workshop's Bretonnian Sorceress on Foot



This figure is the first metal figure that I have painted. At this point, I did not know anything about highlighting, shading, drybrushing, etc. It was enough of a challenge just to get the right color of paint onto the correct spot. I was really excited about the belt detail. Completed in January of 2000.

Painting Instructions for Bretonnian Sorceress on Foot:

Step 1: Undercoat model with white primer
Step 2: Use Elf Flesh on face and hands
Step 3: Use Skull White on eyes and teeth
Step 4: Use Blood Red on dangly sleaves
Step 5: Use Enchanted Blue on robe
Step 6: Use Bestial Brown on hair and wand shaft
Step 7: Use heavily watered down Bestial Brown on hands and face (including eyes and mouth)
Step 8: Use Chainmail on sword
Step 9: Use Sunburst Yellow mixed with a bit of Bestial Brown on wand head, sword handle, belt, and tassles
Step 10: Use Blood Red on cloth part of belt and headband
Step 11: Use Goblin Green on base
Step 12: Use watered down glue on base, then dip into fine ballast
Step 13: Use drybrushed Camo Green onto fine ballast
