Age of Sigmar: Hobby Highlight – Painting Tahlia Vedra, Lioness of the Parch
It’s time to paint up Tahlia Vedra for Age of Sigmar in this week’s Hobby Highlight!
Today I am showing how I painted Tahlia Vedra, hero of Hammerhal, for Age of Sigmar.
Tahlia Vedra and her mount Inferadine the Manticore make an amazing centerpiece unit for Cities of Sigmar in Age of Sigmar. With so many different textures and things going on, this model seems like a real bear. Fortunately, my experience with painting the rest of my city’s army first really came into play, as I was able to lean into techniques and recipes already established in other parts of the army. Painting Tahlia looked intimidating, but it was a blast.
Tahlia Vedra’s Paint Scheme
When it came to actually painting the Lioness of the Parch, I just added variation off of my basic Cities of Sigmar force, headed deep into wintry Andtor. The biggest departure from that basic scheme is Infernadine himself, who is quite unique in the range, both in terms of palette and textures. Keeping the mount simple was key to not letting the project become overwhelming.
