While working on a Zoanthrope that doesn't look like a psychic foetus, I decided to test paint schemes for the force it will soon be joining. Colour was easy, but the methods by which I apply it have me in two minds. Here are some pics of two models following the scheme. The Lictor was predominantly drybrushed, with colours mixed on a wet palette before application, whereas the Ravener was wetbrushed and everything was mixed/blended directly from the pot onto the model while it was wet. Finally, the Lictors' chitin is pretty much all orange, and the Ravener has only a yellow/orange highlight on black.
Which looks best?
