I painted a Barrow Wight for the One Ring October 2014 painting challenge.


I started by basecoating the skin, hair and robes with a neutral dark grey and added a bit of Space Wolves Grey into each highlight layer. For the last couple of highlights I added white instead of grey.

The armour is Shining Gold over Balthasar Gold base. I added some depth to it with washes of Reikland Flesh Shade and a light glaze/wash with a mix of Thraka Green and Guilliman Blue. The sword is Boltgun Metal/Chainmail/Silver with green and blue glazes.

Unfortunately my first attempt was not satisfactory for me and I repainted the model today, two days late. The original attempt was more colourful, which did not work well for this model and since I painted it in the evenings under a desk lamp, I had not noticed some ink blotches etc.
