Bats!

I’m playing a few games with some friends tomorrow and wanted to add this unit of fell bats to my death army for the occasion. I’ve had these models for quite a long time, so it was nice to have an excuse to get them painted up.

I painted these relatively quickly, starting by base coating all of the main colours (wings, flesh, fur, fangs) as a flat colour (Vallejo Dark Sea Blue + black, Vallejo Heavy Skintone, Vallejo Beasty Brown, Vallejo Heavy Goldbrown, respectively) and then washing them with GW Agrax Earthshade. I then highlighted the flesh with the base colour and added another wash of GW Reikland Flesh shade to add a bit of warmth to the flesh tone. The final highlight for the flesh was Vallejo’s Elf Skintone, and I applied some GW Carroburg Crimson around the mouth and nose. The wings got a simple highlight of Dark Sea Blue. The fangs were highlighted with Vallejo Desert Yellow and Vallejo Bonewhite successively. The fur was left as is.

They are based to match the rest of my Death army, which has been my main tournament army for Age of Sigmar for the last few years (not that I get to play in tournaments very often). There are quite a few models in that army that suffer from the painted the night before the event syndrome, and aren’t quite finished. I’ll probably be painting some now and then and posting them here.
