The Baron's Hunt - Spring Clean 2026
The Levy are dry
“Please my lord, we had no choice but to run. They weren’t mere bandits, they were monsters, my lord” – an excuse uttered in defence of cowardice, Rochester Castle, 1215
Time for the levy, only six of them to round out a small list.
The three Goblins were previously painted, so I attempted to tie them into the theme with a wash of Drakenhof Nightshade and some finished basing.
The two humans are based on elf light infantry for oathmark. These already had a black undercoat, so I worked some The Fang, Khorne Red and Naggaroth Night purple onto the cloth, mixed with black at first, then adding Fenrisian Grey into the mix in increasing amounts to highlight up.
For the skin, I used Kislev Flesh 1:1 with The Fang and applied it as a highlight layer to suggest the faces were just catching the light under their hoods.
Finally, the ghoul. This was primed grey, washed with thinned Drakenhof Nightshade and then washed again, straight from the pot, but only in the shadow areas. I also added thin washes of Skeleton Horde to the cloth, bone and hilt, and then Agrax to the cloth. These were kept thin to keep some of the dark blue showing through.
I will touch up the bases and then put the groups together in their units to show the retinue in full.
Forgot to wash the grass
