Ahriman of the Thousand Sons



For Ahriman I started with the cloak.



The main color for the cloak is VGA Warlord Purple over a white base coat.  The underside of the cloak is VMA White Grey.



Then I used GW Xereus Purple to create the shadows in the cloak.



I then followed up with another coat of VGA Warlord Purple to even out the colors and brighten it up.  Then I applied a very thin coat of VMA Wood to the underside.




From there I used these paints for the various armor and weapon colors:

- GW Retributor Armor with Sepia wash for the gold.
- VMA Silver with sepia wash for all silver parts.
- Blue Armor is Many coats of Forgeworld Calth Blue (clear) airbrush paint on top of a Leadbelcher undercoat.
- All the Green Gems are VMA Silver and then Tamiya Clear Green.
- The Green Warpflame was done with a white base (any white works) and then GW Waywatcher Green Glaze (See Below)



The next step was to make his base.  For this I used the GW Balewind Vortex with white base and GW Waywatcher Green Glaze.


The other parts were done in four stages.


GW Kantor Blue over black base coat.


GW Kabalite Green over the blue.


VGA Escorpena Green over the Kabalite.  GW Moot Green Works also.


Then I performed a dry brush of GW Moot Green on the skulls and the extreme edges.  

And that's it.  The Silver was all VMA Silver with either a sepia or a red wash.

Just finished up the House Terryn Detachment.

The Basic Scheme:

Blue is GW Kantor Blue with VGA Ultramarine Blue Highlight
Red is a 50/50 Mix of P3 Skorne Red and Khador Red Base
Gold Trim is GW Retributor Armor with Sepia Wash
White is VMA White Grey with VMA Wood to make it look off white
House Markings are on the last post
The Bases were done with an Apple Barrel Pewter Grey sand mixture then GW Nuln Oil Wash and a Lighter Grey dry brush highlight.  Rust effects are VMA Light Rust
Thermal Cannons were VGA Bloody Red then VGA Hot Orange
Avenger Cannons were done with FW Clear Airbrush Paints, starting at the base of the gun then going to the tip in this order, first orange, purple, blue, then VMA Nato Black for carbon buildup.
