  • Chaos Spawn painted for commission!

    Chaos Spawn painted for commission!

    This month I was commissioned to paint up a couple of Chaos Spawn for a Tzeentch army. I’d never painted any of these before so I thought it would be a fun project!

    Check out the pics:

    I did something rare, I used a white undercoat where I usually use grey or black. I wanted the blue to be really bright and vivid. I used Thousand Sons Blue and Ahriman Blue, with Drucchi Violet as a shade and final highlights with Temple Guard Blue.

    For some of the extremities I mixed purple into the blue to blend it out and get some colour variety, then for the claws and bone areas I painted those black with highlights of Kabalite Green, Moot Green and a final highlight of Averland Sunset.

    For the eyes I applied a cover of ‘ardcoat to give them a really eery gross appearance!

    These guys were really fun to paint, although I’d love to see a new Chaos Spawn kit since this one is definitely starting to show its age!

    If you’ve been following along with #Painthammer2019 on Social Media, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the works of Scykhe. His mechanicus army is full of unique flourishes and you can really see every model gets a personal touch. With quite a lot under his belt thus far for #Painthammer2019 I thought it was time to get in touch and ask him about his project!

    Something I’ve wanted to do for Painthammer for a while is feature some of the community members and go into a little more detail about them and their hobby progress. With #Painthammer2019 now in full swing, it seemed appropriate to start now. So, I am proud to present our first Community Spotlight: Xavier St-Amand!
