To start with I basecoated both parts with several coats of Averland Sunset. The last thing I needed to do was the plume and exhaust cloud of his rocket boots. Will I ever shine a UV light on this guy? Probably not, fun anyway though. The very last that I needed to do was to paint the lens of his goggles and his totally-not-arc-reactor on his chest with a bit of Greenstuff World Fluorescent Blue paint. I then added a couple of quick highlights to the black areas with Mechanicus Standard Grey before giving the whole flask a coat of gloss varnish to give it that glassy feel. I then added some small yellow dots to look like bubbles in the liquid. I started by basecoating it with Corvus Black then painted the lower half with Warpstone Glow to represent the liquid. The very last bit of detail that I needed to do was the flask in his hand.
I then washed the entire model with Army Painter Strong Tone. For the crossbow, bolts, goggles and dagger on his thigh I used Leadbelcher. For the Quatryl skin/fur I was Khaki and as you might imagine I used Mournfang Brown for the leather pack and boots, and Scale75 Old Copper for the armour plates. In the end I decided on some Vallejo Model Colour English Uniform, which I figured is a nice utilitarian colour. The artwork has the Tinkerer in mainly brown tones, so given I had planned to paint him with brown leather and bronze armour I wasn’t too sure what colour to use for his clothes. I started with the Tinkerer as they continue the trend of a relatively simple paint scheme.
Although to be honest, neither have much skin showing aside from their faces. The Demolitionist and the Tinkerer both being the same race, a Quatryl, it made sense to paint them at similar times.
