I painted this Reaper Miniature over a period of about two weeks for a player that was running a Bugbear Rogue in a Dungeons and Dragons game.



Paint Brush: Raphael 8404 No. 1 and Windsor and Newton Series 7 No. 2

The Skin

I painted the bugbear skin with the following Reaper triad. When I had finished the highlights and shadows, I applied a very think glaze of Badab Black (Citadel Wash).

The Hair

The Bugbear's hair was painted with Chaos Black and drybrushed with Icy Grey. Once the dry brush was finished I applied a wash of Badab Black to tone the brightness down a bit.

The Leather

The leather armor is painted with a base of Scorched Brown mixed with Reaper Walnut Brown. I highlighted the raised areas with a mix of the basecoat and Tallarn Flesh.

Armor Scales

The armor scales were basecoated with Citadel Tin Bitz. A light wash of Devlan Mud was added to give some depth to the recesses. A mix of Tin Bitz and Mithril silver was applied on the higher surfaces for highlights.

The cloth was painted with Citadel Scab Red, and shaded with a light coat of Badab Black.
