A Skaven conversion with a sculpted coat and a very bad attitude.

1

Water effects in the low channel

Two thin pours of resin rather than one thick one. Tint the first pour, leave the second clear.

2

Final tone and varnish

A matt varnish everywhere except the water, which stays gloss. Sealed and photographed in daylight.

3

Basecoat and zenithal

Black undercoat, grey from above, white from directly overhead. Everything after this is glazes.

4

Edge highlights

Thin, controlled, only where two planes meet. A tired brush is the enemy here.

5

Priming and the first texture pass

A simple spray base in any colour, then texture paste pushed around with a silicone shaper while it is still wet. Keep it uneven — flat ground reads as a tabletop, not terrain.
