Hi everyone! I’m here with another update on my Stardrake! I’m now onto the detail work, working on the spikes, horns, mouth and wings. Click to see photos of this progress after the jump!
I decided to paint the spikes on the Stardrake in a contrasting theme to the scales, so I decided to go for a fire like red effect. They were painted Khorne Red, Nuln Oil, Evil Sunz Scarlet, Wild Rider Red, Fire Dragon Bright, Yriel Yellow, White Scar and glazed Bloodletter and Lamenters Yellow, with a final edge highlight of White.
I painted the inside of his mouth as if he is about to breathe fire on a poor unfortunate enemy. I wanted to make it really bright. This was painted building up white and with glazes of Bloodletter and Lamenters Yellow, with white finally added back in to the back of the mouth at the hottest point.
Finally, I have been working on painting the wings. I decided, similar to the spikes, to go for a contrasting colour to the main body of the Stardrake. The wings were blended up through Black, Khorne Red, Evil Sunz Scarlet, Wild Rider Red, Fire Dragon Bright and glazed Bloodletter and Lamenters Yellow towards the ends. Overall, I’m really happy with the way they look, and also really happy with the blend.
it's just you
You need to see a Stardrake in person to appreciate the pose – there's honestly nothing wrong with it when you see it it from a few angles
I agree, it really is a stunning model!
Is it just me or do the front legs look like they are the wrong way round on all the stormcast drakes?
A lot of people have mentioned the problem with the legs when the model was first seen. It is a odd pose.

hey,
great work mate!
as this little lizard is going to breath some fire it would be perfect if the inside of the teeth will get some OSL coming form the back of its mouth.
i think this will add to an already awesome model.

Thank you very much! 🙂
I've since added some to the teeth as in the photo above I hadn't finished the teeth yet 🙂
oh my… really looks like it is about to breathe fire!
Gorgeous paint job! Keep it up!
