Xehzirhya: Lust Elf Demon Steed Rider (SF) from the Raging Heroes Toughest Girls of the Galaxy 2 (TGG2) Kickstarter is a large model that makes a great army centerpiece or Monstrous Champion.
Most of the models in the Lust Elf line are Fantasy/Sci-Fi agnostic but a few lean one way or another. This one leans Sci-Fi so I've taken a more metallic approach to parts of the paint scheme.
I got to experiment with the new Hexwraith Green technical (Citadel) to give a green "powered" look to the weapon and the insectile carapace of the helm. I've a bit more work to do getting a proper glow but am generally happy with the paint's performance. I did a couple of white highlights but wanted to avoid adding yellows for this one.
This model also shares some of the more horrific aspects of the Lust Elf Centaurs, especially with the "hands as feet" motif.
The Flesh was worked up with Vallejo colors: Reddish Flesh, Medium Flesh, Fairy Flesh, Burned Flesh and Highlight Flesh mostly via layering.
For the face filled viscera I wanted a sort of bloody ectoplasm look and started with Blood for the Blood God (Citadel) and worked up through Brains Pink (Reaper) and washing back with Ruby (Secret Weapon) before highlighting the faces back up through the red spectrum to white and shading back down through the greens.
The Base is 60mm resin from a Secret Weapon bag of random bases. They occasionally sell big bags, about a pound in weight, of second quality bases very cheap and while they tend to need a little filling most of the holes are on the undersides of the bases and can be easily ignored if you'd rather. Overall these bags have been a great value for money.
The base colors were almost entirely done with Secret Weapon washes. Sewer Water, Green Black, Baby Poop, and Yellow Snow with a top highlight of Lemon Yellow (Reaper) on some of the mushrooms and a Bone Triad (Reaper) work up of the various skulls and bones.
Here with a Knight of the Chalice (Raging Heroes) for scale. Shes similar in size to a GW terminator and is part of the same (TGG2) Kickstarter as Xehzirhya herself.
And here with Canoness Veridyan (GW) joining the fray.
Lots of stuff just finishing up Brugelburg, Order of Vampire Hunters Warriors, and a pile of 3D printed stuff. Of course... anything might jump the line... I'm back to the desk to find out!
