IONIC-0460 Set Malifaux Gremlin Fleshtones

The set

An assortment of paints from the IONIC range, the manufacturer's part number IONIC-0460, named Set Malifaux Gremlin Fleshtones. The word Fleshtones states what the set is put together for, Gremlin names the type of character and Malifaux the theme the set belongs to. Which particular shades it holds, how many of them there are and how rich they are is given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

What it is suited to

The skin of a non-human character is painted differently from human skin, even though the method is the same. The base tone tends to be stronger and will not tolerate shadow mixed with black or gray; that dirties it and the figure goes gray. The shadow is therefore taken into a richer, darker position of the same tone, and the light into a lighter and cleaner one. A ready-made set helps above all when you are painting several figures of one group, because they all keep the same color line and you do not have to hit the shade again from memory.

Application

Stir the paint thoroughly before work, as the pigment settles to the bottom. Cover in thin coats and add the next one only once the previous has dried; one thick coat clogs the fine relief and with it the expression of the face. Transitions are best drawn out with heavily thinned paint laid down several times over. Choose the thinner and the ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Try the shade out on a test piece first, as the tone usually shifts once it dries.

Terms of supply

The package holds a set of shades according to the manufacturer's data. The figure, thinner, brushes and varnishes are not included, unless stated otherwise.
