Draconis: Spring Clean 2026 (Fallout) and Onward
Supermutants!
31st May 2026
It took a while to get back into working on these following our short break, and the hot weather. I had made a start before going away, but struggled with deciding on colours (as I often do).
Usual prime method, then I laid down some Plaguebearer flesh contrast for their skin, and starting blocking in some rubber black for various panels. I also used some gore grunta contrast for the clothing on the MG armed mutant.
Then, almost three weeks later I got back to things…. I worked on rust and chipping on some armour panels. Using brown washes, drybrushing and highlighting for the bare metal, and more ‘scratch’ based weathering on coloured panels.
Once I was finally back at it I tried a few different things, eventually choosing dark grey clothing for the mutant with the flying hat (highlighting up from rubber black through 4 greys – too many really for the end result 😊 ) and pale grey for the hammer brute.
I also worked on the bases – something I often do when I am struggling with the main figure.
Finishing touches, picking out eyes (sort of..), weapon details, ropes and straps getting highlights, and adding various weathering stages to the bases (Agrax wash, some streaking grime patches, rawhide drybrushing and stippling etc).
