Harlequins: a kaleidoscopic vision of the past

 Given that the rush of getting things finished off for 2nd Heads 2026 (a 2nd edition event run by Ed from Minisodes) is now over, I thought I’d paint something a bit different from power armour.


The result of this is the first of a good number of harlequins - my intention is to do a full force of them, all in different schemes. This has the advantage of meaning that I can spend some time on each one, and not have to worry too much about consistency of things like check, diamonds, stripes, etc, but does mean I may eventually go mad… 




Paints wise…
Yellow: Wargames fanatic Daemonic Yellow, washed with Fuegan Orange (citadel), the highlights with Warpaints Warped Yellow and Space Dust.
Dark Blue: Warpaints Regal Blue, washed with Drakenhof Nightshade, highlighted with Warpaints Royal Blue and Crystal Blue
Light Blue: Warpaints Arctic gem, a very thinned down wash of Citadel Aethermatic blue, and some edge highlights with Warpaints Bright Sapphire
Green: Warpaints Emerald forest, washed with thinned Orruk Flesh (citadel). Highlights with Warpaints Leafy Green, then a Leafy Green:White c. 50:50 mix
Red: Citadel Mephistopheles red, Evil Suns Scarlet, Wild rider red, and a few small highlights using Warpaints Lava Orange
