Artist Notes
This commissioned Amarok is a member of Clan Spirit Cat’s Purifier Cluster, and is an elite pilot given the almost fully white paint job. (The more kills achieved, the less dark grey there is.) The Amarok is from IWM and was a bit of a pain to assemble due to the full ball-socket joints. I had to use green stuff to assemble, as well as pins in the waist. The paint job started with the usual black Rustoleum primer. All other paints are Army Painter Fanatic. The base coat is a mix of white and Ash Grey. While the official color scheme called for a more pure white, I dislike bright whites because they should be relatively grimy. So I went with a light grey. I washed the entire mini in diluted Dark Tone, then dry brushed with a lighter light grey. The metallics are Cobalt Metal and Strong Tone Wash. The freehand of the green tiger used Guardian Green as a base with varying amounts of white to get the different hues. The red streaks were Pure Red, with some white, Daemonic Yellow, and Lava Orange at the origins. The scrap arm came from left overs of an Iron Cheetah kitbash, namely a CGL Timber Wolf arm. It was painted in Lava Orange, and some brash wire was used for the supports/myomer. Some Data System Glow effect paint was used to simulate coolant but it’s hard to see. The base was formed from green stuff and then washed with Dark Tone. Ancient Stone was used for the highlights and a dry brush of Desert Yellow finished the base.
