Tutorial: Painting Star Wars Shatterpoint Aurra Sing

Welcome to Painting Star Wars: Shatterpoint Cad Bane tutorial. Here I will present to you a Step-by-step of a basic painting process for Fistful of Credits Aurra Sing miniature and a few extras.

Before we start, some notes:

• This tutorial is sponsored by Rebel.pl, polish distributor of Star Wars: Shatterpoint and The Army Painter.
• The entire painting process presented in this tutorial was accomplished using The Army Painter accessories provided by Rebel.pl
• The tutorial is focused on basic techniques. Perfect for beginner hobbyists, eager to field their miniatures as soon as possible. The second part is a bit more advanced for those of you willing to put in some extra effort.
• Please note pictures present a huge miniature under strong light that might result in a feel of messy, clumsy paint job.
• As usual, please take note that what works for me might not necessarily work for you.

Miniature Preparation & Notes.

Both Mandalorian Super Commandos were prepared in the same way as previous Shatterpoint miniatures. Visit Tutorial: Painting Star Wars Shatterpoint Clone Troopers article for a detailed step-by-step guide.

---

---

Undercoating:

I mounted the miniatures on a stick with a piece of Blu-Tack, then undercoated them with The Army Painter White Matt Primer.

---

---

BASIC PART:

---

Clothes:

Aurra Sing is commonly represented in either opaque orange or yellow clothes. I decided to base this paint job on Fistful of Credits box art, so honey yellow. Using Wargamer: Character Brush I have painted all clothes with Ancient Honey Speedpaint.

---

---

Brown Accessories:

Next, using the same brush, I’ve painted boots, weapon holsters, straps, hair and vest with Brownish Decay.

---

---

Corrections:

I’ve made quite a few mistakes with previous layers that I have corrected in this step using Matt White.

---

---

Skin:

To better represent Aurra’s pale grey’ish skin tone I applied a layer of Ashen Grey.

---

---

Weapons:

I then painted weapons, strap buckles and hair jewelry with Grim Black Speedpaint.

---

---

Eyes:

Painting eyes is a craft in its own category. Fortunately for Aurra here two small dots of Matt Black followed by delicate ‘touches’ of Dark Tone wash worked like a charm. I also applied Dark Tone wash to her lips. Wargamer Detail Brush was perfect for this step.

---

---

Base:

Finally I have painted the base following steps previously presented in the Tutorial: Painting Star Wars Shatterpoint Clone Troopers article, at which point the basic painting process was over and the miniature might have been considered done… but why not take it further?

---

---

ADVANCED PART:

---

Advanced Clothes:

To bring more depth to Aurra’s clothes I applied a layer of Flesh Wash.

---

---

Weapons Highlights:

With Wargamer: Detail Brush I applied thin lines of Mummy Robes to the sharp edges of weapons and strap buckles. I also applied a few tiny dots to selected spots on weapons, buckles and hair jewelry. Dots of bright colors create focus points that result in more contrast within a particular color range.

---

---

Advanced Weapon Strap:

Next I applied similar lines and dots to the weapon strap with Elven Flesh color.

---

---

Brown Highlights:

All other browns, including straps, hair, boots and weapon holsters, I have highlighted with lines and dots of Mummy Robes to prepare them for upcoming color filters.

---

---

Brown Filters:

Next I have applied slightly thinned down Dusk Red to all elements, except for hair that got Brownish Decay treatment instead. Combined with well punctuated weapon strap the miniature ended up with a nicely diversified range of browns.

---

---

Finally I Varnished the miniature the same way as presented in the Tutorial: Painting Star Wars Shatterpoint Clone Troopers article.
