Goreshade Lord of Ruin is the third version of Goreshade, a warcaster of Cryx. Probably one of my favourite warcasters in the Warmachine game. He was fun to paint, featuring a few technical trial runs that I wanted to try.
I used the Games Workshop technical paint Agrellan Earth on the base, which dries into a thick cracked surface. For my first use with this product, I had to experiment with paint thickness to generate a pleasing cracked earth surface.
I also tried out some "object source lighting" - his magical frozen sword is depicted casting light onto nearby surfaces, hopefully demonstrating the mystical powers at his command.
Goreshade also rides a ghostly undead steed. To illustrate this, I decided to paint the horse glowing green. I am not entirely happy with the glow effect, as it sort of evokes a Scooby Doo monster vibe to me. Goreshade's big vampiric grin contributes to the effect! But then Scooby Doo monsters are cool.
