Harlequin Player Step by Step Tutorial

I had a request for a step by step tutorial for my Harlequin technique, so here it is.  I like to do tutorials, but I always think to do them after the model is finished though.  I hope people find this guide helpful.

Harlequin Shadowseer





The Harlequin models continue to roll off the painting table.  This time it's a Shadowseer.  

Much like the last player posted, this is a sprucing up of a previously painted model.  This time though, it was a much more extensive job.  Every part of the model saw some work done to it.  

The photographs have a tendency to over state the white highlights on the model.  It was there with the Solitaire, but more noticeable here on the Shadowseer.  

The rest of the model is fairly standard Harlequin fare.  I chose to limit the diamonds for two reasons.  First, there isn't a lot of places to make them work.  Second, I feel that the Shadowseer would have a bit more understated look.

I plan on getting a new plastic Shadowseer.  The model looks awesome and with the leaked FOC, having 7 Elite slots gives the option for a lot of Seers.

As for what's next, it's more players.  I flirted with doing some batch painting, but it didn't feel right.  I did two to start off with and did a good amount of base-coating, but ultimately decided to focus on just one model at a time. 

Harlequin Player II


This is an older metal sculpt Harlequin Player.  I just had to spruce him up a bit and bring him along with the new plastic style.  I think the model still stands up.  I think i'll differentiate the Troupes by their hair color.

I have a Shadowseer on the verge of completion.  I am really excited for the new plastic one, but it doesn't hurt to have options.
