Working on Marvel Crisis Protocol (Loki Prince of Lies)

Hey all, currently working on some of the new MCP models for Asgardians (Thor, Mighty Thor, Loki, and Lady Sif).  The nice thing about blogging is I should actually remember what paints I used this time, instead of trying to figure out what I did based on process of elimination!

Loki, Prince of Lies

It's been awhile since I painted, so I started with what I felt would be an easier to model to work with.  I chopped off his hair, as I felt it didn't go well with the model.  I also don't like the standard practice of "my power color is the same as my suit color" which works pretty well for the comics, but really clashes on the table.  All my characters have a color which stands out from the rest of the model to help it pop on the table.

With all these models I did my standard grey primer, followed by a light zenithal spray of pure white over the upper sections of the model (more like 70%).  I then follow with a satin varnish to help with wash/contrast adherence and to protect the zenithal.

Paints Model:
GW Warp Lightning Contrast
GW  Bad Moon Yellow Contrast
GW Guilliman Flesh Contrast
GW Talassar Blue (very thin)
Vallejo Model Air Silver
GS El Dorado
GS Shiny Gold
Army Painter Dark Tone
GW Sepia Tone Wash

Paints Base: 
GW Dawnstone
GW Ulthuan Grey (dry brush)
Army Painter Dark Tone (Thinned)
GW Garaghaks Sewer Contrast (super thin)

Yet to Come: 
Green Stuff World Flour Powders

These models paint really nicely and are a great palette cleanser vs some of the more bling covered GW style minis.  Highly recommend giving some of them a try if you enjoy the comic book universe.  (It's also a pretty fun game to play!).
