Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Cove Town
This faction is a bit odd in that they were never actually in the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 computer game. I think the history is that they were under development for an expansion but it never came out. So I never played with them and don’t feel much connection to them. Still good models though and nice to paint up.
For these I decided to go back to the “traditional” method of a black undercoat, base coat then layer paints on top.
Gold: retributor armour layered with auric gold.
Blue skin: calgar blue layered with russ grey, then fenrisian grey.
Grey hair: celestra grey layered with ulthuan grey.
Yellow wings: averland sunset layered with flash gitz yellow.
Blue scales: macragge blue layered with altdorf guard blue.
Orange scales: jokaero orange layered with trollslayer orange.
Black scales: corvus black.
Pink tongues: emperor’s children.
Bones and horns: zandri dust layered with ushabti bone and screaming skull.
Skin: bugman’s glow layered with cadian fleshtone and kislev flesh.
Red cloth: mephiston red layered with evil sunz scarlet.
Sand bases: xv-88 layered with tallarn sand and karak stone.
Wood: mournefang brown.
Steel: leadblecher layered with runefang steel.
Bronze: screaming bell layered with sycorax bronze.
Green scales: loren forest layered with nurgling green.
