"Mongolian Warrior painted by Sascha Herm" Topic

all,

I have just finished a Commission on a Limited Edition Mongolian Warrior from TAG Miniature. I painted him in a day and it was a nice change after all the Napoleonic Uniforms from my last commission.

Mongolian Warrior: link

gave him an extra Bowstring made from Green Stuff. The Tunic was painted using Foundry Teal Blue, GW Black & GW Scorched Brown as the base. Highlighting it with A, A+B, B but no C. For the leather Armour or Jerkin I used Andrea's Dark Brown Leather, using Napoleonic Orange for the first Highlight, followed by adding more Orange and GW Vermin Brown. GW Black & Scorched Brown was used for Shading. The piping on the Leather was painted using Foundry's Madder Red. I used Foundry's Raw Hide for the Boots & Bow string. Buff Leather was used for the padded Waist band, the inside of the Armour and the stripes on the Tunic. For the Wood I only used Spearshaft A & B. I started with A as a base and washed it with GW Devlan Mud. I used A again but painting stripes trying to imitate wood grain. Spearshaft B was used in the same way as a final highlight.

For the skin I used Foundry's Expert Flesh Set but with Snakebite Leather mixed into the A shade (2:1). I left B out and used GW Dwarf Flesh with Snakebite Leather (2:1) as the first highlight. I added C into the second Mix for the next highlight. Followed by pure C, D & E. I used F only very sparingly for some spot highlights (Cheeks, Nose, Chin).

Well, I hope you like him. All comments are welcome

Kind regards
