Games Workshop - Citadel Colour Layer: Sycorax Bronze (12ml) Paint

Product Information

You could also probably use this to paint an ancient Spartan army, but it’s probably the wrong shade of red for the Battle of Mantinea in 418 BCE or whatever. Dark Aged Skin (Octren’s exposed hands and chin; I’ll write out the full details for how I’d paint a whole face here in case you’re interested)

If you want a more yellow hue you can go base with balthasar gold, shade with agrax, then drybrush with griffon gold. The general idea for Sycorax's character may have come from the classical literature familiar to many in Shakespeare's day. Sycorax is similar to Medea, a witch in Ovid's Metamorphoses, in that both are powerful, magical female figures. [6] [8] Scholars have also pointed out that Sycorax resembles the magical Circe from Greek mythology as well as perhaps a version of Circe found in the mythology of the Coraxi tribe in modern-day Georgia.

What Space Marine armies to paint with Sycorax Bronze According to the history provided by the play, Sycorax, while pregnant with Caliban, was banished from her home in Algiers to the island on which the play takes place. Memories of Sycorax, who dies several years before the main action of the play begins, define several of the relationships in the play. Relying on his filial connection to Sycorax, Caliban claims ownership of the island. Prospero constantly reminds Ariel of Sycorax's cruel treatment to maintain the sprite's service. Dirty Down sells a series of paints that can produce three effects; rust, verdigris, and moss. I have experimented with all three of them and have come to the following conclusions: Raven Guard: The Raven Guard is a faction of the Warhammer 40K universe known for their stealth and covert operations. Their armor is often adorned with intricate and ornate details, and their machinery and equipment are often made of advanced and corrupted materials. Sycorax Bronze is an excellent choice for painting the bronze elements of the Raven Guard’s armies, as it gives them a sense of ancient and weathered metal, which perfectly fits the image of the stealth and covert nature of the Raven Guard. Similar to the weathered bronze, I wanted a weathered silver for the other metals. I figure these guys are in the field in the Realm of Life and it probably rains a lot, and I wanted to sell a theme of antiquity for the army.

Scholars generally agree that Sycorax, a foil for Prospero, is closely related to the Medea of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Postcolonialist writers and critics see Sycorax as giving voice to peoples, particularly women, recovering from the effects of colonisation. Later versions of The Tempest, beginning with William Davenant's seventeenth-century adaptation, have given Sycorax a vocal role in the play, but maintained her image as a malevolent antagonist to Prospero. Since I’m planning on linking all of my hereos using Contrast Talassar Blue as a spot colour somewhere on the model and Cleona Zeitengale seems to me as one of the more good Good Guy, I decided to make the bulk of her cloth blue. After that I busted out some Base Retributor Armour on her staff, robe trim and shoulders.In The Tempest, Prospero describes Sycorax as an ancient and foul witch native to Algiers, and banished to the island for practising sorcery "so strong / That [she] could control the Moon". [1] Prospero further relates that many years earlier, sailors had brought her to the island, while she was pregnant with her son, Caliban, and abandoned her there, as, due to her pregnancy, she was spared being put to death. She proceeded to enslave the spirits there, chief among them Ariel, whom she eventually imprisoned in a pine tree for disobedience. Sycorax birthed Caliban and taught him to worship the demonic god Setebos. She dies long before the arrival of Prospero and his daughter, Miranda. Caliban grows to hate Prospero's presence and power on the island, claiming that the land belongs to him since it was his mother's before Prospero appeared. Croyden, Margaret.

I finished off the Bronze with Screaming Bell highlights to pop some edges and called the armor done. Overall it took me a while because I'm still learning but I don't think the process would take a long time at all for a more experienced person, especially if they had access to an airbrush from the jump. I understand the bad rap I saw Sycorax Bronze get on the internet but I think with the right application it fills that bronze hue's color niche very well and it's surprisingly easy to use after learning how to use it. If you have something you want with that color of bronze I would highly recommend using it, at the very least to try something new. I have a whole rest of my army to paint so I'm going to be doing it again on other models. I think I'm going to try changing my workflow next time to this which should save me time on the initial base coat:Add in a little more Mephiston Red and layer up again, concentrating on raised areas where light would hit Savory, Elaine (1994).

In our How to Paint Everything series we look at how to paint well, everything, with different methods and approaches from different artists. Today we’re looking at how to paint weathered bronze and copper. First off, I’m gonna go over my basing technique, as basing, even moreso than these shared textures, is a fantastic way to unite such varied schemes.

Iron Hands: The Iron Hands are a faction of the Warhammer 40K universe known for their bionic enhancements and mechanical appearance. Their armies are often adorned with intricate and ornate details, and their machinery and equipment are often made of advanced and corrupted materials. Sycorax Bronze is an excellent choice for painting the bronze elements of the Iron Hands’ armies, as it gives them a sense of ancient and weathered metal, which perfectly fits the image of the advanced and mechanical nature of the Iron Hands.

I started off with Contrast Talassar Blue on the pants and Contrast Guilliman Flesh for the skin. I then moved onto Contrast Snakebite Leather for all of the leather bits Emelda is my second favorite hero in the box, and probably the most “heroic” looking of the bunch. I went for a classically heroic color scheme based on the old Grey Knights schemes I remember reading about in White Dwarfs of years past.
