From the Horrific Journeys expansion, the Warlocks are much better quality than those of the core set. Being hard plastic and better sculpted, they were a delight to paint. Admittedly, they aren’t the most dynamic in pose, but there’s something about them that made me smile.
As for painting, they were really easy. I primed black and then added some German Grey zenithal highlights using the airbrush. In hindsight, I could have gone a shade lighter, as the German Grey doesn’t stand out at all really. The suit was highlighted last thing, using variations of Sombre and Heavy Grey.
I had a little fun with the flesh, as I wanted it quite pale, and used just two colours, Tan and Pale Flesh. I do a lot of playing around with flesh, maybe not the best approach but it seems to work for me. I put on a base of Tan and then the extreme highlights of Pale Flesh. From there on its continued wet blends of the two colours, sometimes mixed together, sometimes neat. I spend far too long on minis like this when doing so, but I enjoy it and need the practice!
The whites were done in my usual manner – base Heavy Bluegrey, Layer Ghost Grey, highlight Dead White. For the off-white waistcoat, though, I only added a single layer of Wolf Grey over the base.
The eyes are all black, as on the token, and it gives him a bit more of a sinister look, otherwise, I think he’d look far too jolly!
That’s for a little while, as far as MoM goes, I’ve yet to prep the next lot and instead I’m busy on Ronan and Drax, more of which in a later post…

Great work on the warlocks Justin, the black eyes give a very sinister look to the grin, so great choice there

Thanks Dave.
Yes, they add something, otherwise they’d be just old men with a dapper sense of dress and a bit of a sneaky smile!

Those have come out really well, Justin, although I wouldn’t have pegged them for warlocks! 🙂

Lol! They certainly don’t look like your mainstream Warlock, do they!

Love the shading and highlighting on the black clothes, and the skin tones work really well!

Thank you Matt.
I’m really pleased with how they look, especially on the map tiles, they stand out quite nicely.

What is this!? So FFG did figure out how to sculpt decent Arkham minis! The face is so much higher quality than in the base game that it is jaw-dropping. You did a great job painting up this guy. He has a lot of personality and looks quite sinister at the same time. Perfect for Arkham! 😀

Yep, they’ve pulled their finger out for some of the later expansions, and the quality is much improved – these are some of my favourites.
