Tag: Sculptor: Bob Naismith

  • Old World Jack Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Metal

    I was expecting this guy to have a backpack bump on his back but he doesn’t; and it doesn’t look like one was cut off either!

    He’s a Bob Naismith sculpt from 1987 and was from the RT7 Mercenary line.

    Painted:

    • Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
    • Orange: Kimera’s Orange, shaded by mixing in Kimera’s Ultramarine, highlighted by mixing in Kimera’s Cold Yellow
    • Black/Grey: Kimera’s Carbon Black, highlighted by mixing in Kimera’s The White
    • Metal: Scale75 Black Metal, followed by Cobalt Alchemy, followed by a highlight of Speed Metal, followed by a wash of gloss Nuln Oil
    • Blue: Kimera’s Phthalo Blue Red Shade, highlighted by mixing in Ultramarine and The White
    • Yellow: Kimera’s The White followed by Cold Yellow
    • Scar: Kimera’s Magenta
    • Skin: Kimera’s The White followed by Scale75’s Pale Skin, then a mix of the two for highlights, and Kimera’s Oxide Brown Medium and Oxide Brown Dark for shading. A little bit of Red Oxide mixed in to Pale Skin for blushed areas.
    • Leather: Kimera’s Oxide Brown Medium or Royal Brown as the base, shaded by mixing in Ultramarine with Royal Brown, highlighted by mixing in Cold Yellow.
    • Base: Kimera’s Red Oxide, followed by Scale75’s Reddish Brown pigment, then Natural Soil, and a little bit of Sand pigment on the rocks. Wild Tuft is the front one and the back I don’t recall – maybe AK? Base rim is Vallejo Black Grey.
