Poor forgotten Fili of Games Workshop's Escape From Goblin Town set miniatures. The sculpt of the Fili miniature is accurate and provides a nice dynamic pose for the young dwarf doomed to lose his head.
1. Paint the flesh using Tanned Flesh.
1a. Wash the skin with Red Tone to get the ruddier tone of the Dwarfs.
1b. Wash the skin again in Flesh Tone.
1c. Highlight using Barbarian Flesh.
2. Paint Fili’s hair and beard with Leather Brown.
2a. Do the first highlight with Fur Brown.
2b. Using a very fine 5/0 or 10/0 brush paint a final highlight of Desert Yellow.
3. Paint Fili’s trousers, wristguards, and scabbard with Oak Brown.
3a. Highlight the above with Leather Brown.
4. Paint Fili’s tunic and boots with a 1:1 mixture of Oak Brown and Monster Brown.
4a. Wash both with Dark Tone.
5. Paint the belt and tunic trim with Monster Brown.
5a. Paint the details (crosshatch) on both belt and tunic trim using Skeleton Bone.
6. Paint the fur on the front of Fili’s tunic and at his cuffs with a 3:1 mixture of Ash Grey and Matt White.
6a. Wash the fur with Soft Tone.
7. Next paint Fili’s hood with Ash Grey.
7a. Wash the hood with Dark Tone.
7b. Highlight the hood with Ash Grey, no that is not a typo.
8. Paint the knife handles on Fili’s wrists and his buckles with Gunmetal.
8a. Wash both with Dark Tone.
9. Paint Fili’s sword blades with Plate Mail Metal.
9a. Wash the blades with Dark Tone.
10. Paint the swords’ hilt and pommels with Weapon Bronze.
10a. Wash with Dark Tone.
Some last notes:
A. The eyes were painted between the Flesh Tone Wash and the Barbarian Flesh Highlight. The eyes are done with a 5/0 brush. First paint a horizontal white l
B. AP Soft Tone is a good wash for flesh and other light colored items.
C. AP Strong Tone is a good general brown wash similar to Citadel's Agrax Earth Shade.
D. AP Dark Tone is a good black wash similar to Citadel's Nuln Oil.
I based the miniature with coral beach sand for the rocky/sandy caves of Goblin Town and added some Highland Tufts and Meadow Tufts from The Army Painter Battlefields range. I then painted the edge of the base in Deep Blue.
Next week Dori flails his way into the party.
I have to thank TALE OF TWO PAINTERS for the inspiration for these tutorials. Unfortunately, I do not have step by step photos like they do as I found their site after I was a quarter of the way complete. They painted the miniatures using Citadel paints. I felt a guide using The Army Painter brand was warranted, especially as there is no readily available conversion chart for Citadel and AP brands like the other major miniature paint brands (Vallejo, P3, Reaper, etc.). I currently only have the 42 bottle 2015 Mega Paint Set II, so there is a lot of mixing of paints to get the right color. (I’m hoping to get the Veteran Warpainter Upgrade Set with an additional 82 paints that just came out on the first).
