Painting Guide: Bloodbound step-by-step

Recently, I've painted a set of Age of Sigmar Khorne Bloodbound minis for demo purposes.


One of my gaming buddies wanted a step-by-step guide for this fairly quick and basic process, so here it is:

Step 1: Basecoat black. (not pictured)

Step 2: Rough overall drybrush of VMC Chocolate Brown.

Step 3: Slightly less rough drybrush of VMC FLat Earth.
This should get me a solid base for stuff like leather.
The overall drybrush also helps in spotting details.

Step 4: Paint weapons, chainmail and assorted bits with VGC Silver.

Step 5: Paint blingy stuff (including collars) VMC Polished Gold.

Step 6: VMC Cavalry Brown (a dark red) on the armour plate.

Step 7: Edge highlights on the red using VGC Bloody Red.

Step 8: Paint the skin using Citadel Ungor Flesh. Note that I skipped this (and the next step) on a few minis so I'd have some variety in skin tones.

Step 9: Highlight the skin using Citadel Elf Flesh.

Step 10: Paint the bone bits using VMC Iraqi Sand.

Step 11: Give the whole model a wash of Citadel Agrax Earthshade.

Step 12: Add some blood on weapons using Citadel Blood for the Blood God.

Finally, base and varnish.


This isn't a perfect or foolproof scheme, but it can be applied reasonably quickly and with a fairly limited range of colours and looks fine on the tabletop.
