Howdy painters! Today we’re going to look at a fun simple way to paint the fire braziers on the new Fyreslayer Hearthguard Berzerkers.
The goal of this guide is to provide a way for anyone to get their fire effects looking great both on the table and up close, without requiring a ton of technical understanding.
STEP 1 – The fiery bits are base coated with Averland Sunset. I thin this with a quick drop of water and then 1-2 drops of Future Floor Wax to get a thin clean application. The Floor wax breaks the surface tension so you get a very smooth finished application.
Allow this to dry *completely*.
STEP 2 – Once the Averland Sunset base has dried completely, use Fuegan Orange on roughly 75% of the fiery parts, making sure to leave the yellow untouched near the brazier.
Again, let this dry completely, you don’t want the colors to mix at all.
STEP 3 – I added a couple small highlights of Yriel Yellow on the yellow parts near the brazier, and then I added Nuln Oil to the 50% opposite of the Averland Sunset.
This will dry somewhat thinly and you’ll wind up with a dark orange.
STEP 4 – Continue to add Nuln Oil shade to the final 25% of the fires tip, you want this area to be the darkest. Because of the way the shade will dry you will get this really dark almost black/grey color, but it’ll be very flat matte which looks kinda smokey.
STEP 5 – I used a little bit of Flayed One Flesh to add little wifts of tan smoke to the fire, and then I added just a little bit more Yriel Yellow to complete the look.
Let this dry and perhaps toss a matte varnish on it so it doesn’t get scratched/scuffed with handling and gameplay.
Enjoy!
