15mm Sci Fi - Khurasan Miniatures Apocalypse 666 range

For years I have wanted to paint up Khurasan's Apocalypse 666 miniature range.  Well, this week I was finally able to make that happen; in one fell swoop I painted the whole range in under a week.

The range consists of

• The False Prophet, the Beast from the Earth
• Cercopyths
• The Flayed
• Lurkers in Dark Places
• Foul Spirits, winged demons

As a whole, the range was not difficult to paint.  Undead rarely are, and as for monsters, I enjoy painting them more so than regular humanoid troops.  These make great additions for any game really.  Sci Fi, modern, whatever.  Just use your imagination.  Its hard to go wrong with the devil from another universe and his minions, especially if you combine with with some of Khurasan's other great monster figures.

The False Prophet was quite a simple scheme:

• Vallejo Sand Primer
• Tamiya Flat Earth basecoat
• Vallejo Model Air Ivory Sand head and horns (airbrushed on.....very carefully).
• Valleo Model Color Pale Sand & Ivory for horns, hoofs, teeth, spines and for the top of the head
• Vallejo Model Color Old Rose for the tongue and gummy bits.
• Washed in GW Earthshade (with a drop of Future Floor Polish to break surface tension)
• Fur washed in Army Painter Dark Tone
• Teeth and fleshy bits washed in GW Reikshade Fleshtone
• Skin highlighted in Vallejo Model Color German Camo Pale Brown

Cercopyths were an experiment: I wanted to see how well GW Contrast Paints airbrushed on.  I decided to avoid the "Demon Monkey" scheme: I did not want to paint multiple colors on such small areas.  

• Vallejo Sand Primer
• GW Contrast Paint Darkoath Fleshtone, airbrushed on.
• Skin washed lightly with GW Sepia wash.
• Vallejo Model Color Pale Sand & Ivory for teeth and claws.  Mouth washed with GW Fleshtone.
• Fur washed in Army Painter Strong Tone. Drybrushed with Vallejo Model Color Light Brown
• Skin highlighted in Vallejo Model Color Light Brown & Vallejo Model Color Dark Flesh
• Eyes done with Vallejo Model Color Lemon Yellow

The Flayed were already featured in another blog post.  I will not repeat the scheme here.

Lurkers in Dark Places were another simple zombie-type scheme.

• Vallejo Ivory Primer
• Vallejo Game Air Dead Flesh basecoat, washed with GW Athonian Camoshade & GW Yellow wash, letting them mix together.
• Skin highlighted with Vallejo Model Color Pale Sand 
• Teeth and claws done with Pale Sand & Ivory.

Finally, the Foul Spirits were a variation of the Lurkers

• Vallejo Ivory Primer
• Vallejo Game Air Dead Flesh basecoat, washed with GW Sepia wash.
• Inner wings washed with Army Painter Green Tone Wash & GW Fleshtone
• Skin highlighted with Vallejo Model Color Pale Sand
• Teeth and horns done with Pale Sand & Ivory, washed with GW Fleshtone ink.

The range is not extensive, and the model count was modest.  I probably should  have added another pack of Lurkers and Foul Spirits to my inventory.  Oh well.  They are great for small skirmish games, or in Alien Squad Leader as "Primitive" units (Thralls, Fighters, Close Flyers, Beasts).  Anyway, I am pleased with the results and that I finally, after many years, got around to painting this interesting miniature range.
