Doom Miniatures Part 3: New Primer, Blue and Green Imps

Finally got myself Krylon Camouflage Black to test the adhesiveness of the paint itself. I found it to be much better then my previous primer, although there is still chance for the paint to peel off.

The second test was to see if the Citadel paints is able to paint on Krylon primer. And it does work very well.

Once the units are primed, the base is lined using Caliban Green and Macragge Blue. The demon and cyberdemon is then painted using Leadbelcher exactly the same as previously done.

Since I have nailed the imps earlier, I decided to move on and work with them right away. The steps were the same: Mournfang Brown base, Nuln Oil wash and Steel Legion Drab drybrush. Obviously something was missing as the final result under bright light differ by a mile from what I had earlier.

Further work in an attempt to create the same tone as the red units was performed by rewashing the unit with Nuln Oil followed by a drybrush layer of Mournfang Brown and Steel Legion Drab.

Bad move apparently. I will probably leave it at that.
