Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape - Demons

Next up were the Demons, which I had somewhat intended to be test models in case I ever needed to paint any Khorne daemons for Warhammer. 

To get things started I primed all the miniatures with Colour Forge Standard Grey before giving them an all over coat of Vallejo Scarlet Red with the airbrush. While I had the airbrush out and was in an experimental mood I gave the models a zenithal highlight with Archive-X Caboose Red. It turned out alright. What I should have done was either to give the models a drybrush with a lighter red like Evil Sunz Scarlet, like I did with the Skeletons, or first give the models a zenithal highlight with white and then go back in with the red so that it really pops. Similar to what I do for my Nurgle daemons. 

From there I painted the skirts with Two Thin Coats Death Reaper and the leather tassels with Two Thin Coats Cuirass Leather. The armour and the ends of tassels I painted with Army Painter Tainted Gold. I felt that Thrash Metal would be a bit too bright so I painted the weapons with Scale75 Black Metal. The leader of the mob has a wooden handle on their weapon so I picked this out with Two Thin Coats Scorched Earth.

To bring out all the textures, and also to continue to vaguely lean into this Khornate colour scheme, I gave the models an all over wash of Targor Rageshield. I then finished them off by painting the horns with Black Templar contrast paint. It’s slight transparency gives it a red tint of the skin underneath.

For the bases, I used the same city rubble scheme that I did for the Goremongers and Azrakh. I started by basecoating the bases with Two Thin Coats Dungeon Stone before covering the base in PVA glue and sprinkling on some Krautcover Ruins of Persistence. I then sealed it down with some Geek Gaming Scenics Matt Sealant and painted the rims of the bases with a matt black.
