How to Paint
Durkar the Sovereign Serpent
Welcome to the next instalment of The Army Painter Academy: a series where we break down how we paint a miniature step-by-step, complete with pictures for every bit of paint applied along the way.
Get ready to unleash your inner dragon master with the monstrous, yet regal Durkar the Sovereign Serpent from Archon Studio. Included as part of the massive Fanatic Wargamers Paint Set, this winged reptile is sure to find a home in many a hobbyist's miniature collection. While there are many ways to tackle a painting project, from the time tested "spray, dip, done" method that is the very bedrock of this company, to lavishly layering and blending every colour to a display level quality, we decided to use a perennial favourite of wargamers the world over - drybrushing! This classic method is a fantastic way to add depth and dynamism to your model in a quick and easy way, giving you more time for gaming.
This tutorial is broken down into easy steps, going from basecoating to finished highlights. If you’re on a desktop, simply click the arrows at the bottom of each section to scroll through the steps or scroll to the side on your mobile phone.
Every colour on this miniature, other than the primer, comes from our the Fanatic Wargamers Paint Set.
Let's get painting!
With that, your model is done!
If you plan on using your model for gaming, we highly recommend varnishing it with either our Spray, Warpaints Air, or Warpaints Fanatic varnishes.
