Blood Angel Intercessor finished (actually a couple of days ago), Quite happy with this one. Painting the red straight over the metallic certainly helped to get the feel for the battle damage. Also meant I did not have to add too much more damage with VMC Dark Rust and VMA Steel.
Used Nuln Oil both gloss and regular versions to add shade/dirt followed by VMC Smoke. I also painted the main body of the bolt rifle in VMA Steel and then added the green then weathered a bit more by feathering the steel along the edges and pulling the brush down. All the gold was painted in Retributor Armour washed with Reikland Flesh Shade and highlighted with VMA Steel. Made for a much quicker job.
The back pack was painted black using the Scale 75 Black and White set. But then I used a brush and sponge to add steel chipping. I then used VMC Black Glaze to dirty the black followed by pin washes of Agrax Earth Shade. For the dirt round the lower legs feet returned to the MIG Abteilung Oils, light Earth and Basic Earth. With a lit bit of Engine Grease in strategic places.
So I now have only to two Intercessors to do from the Dark Imperium box and then can move onto a different type of marine
Third Escher ganger completed too!
Kept to a simple colour scheme. For the black on the leggings I used Foundry Charcoal Black with a last highlight by mixing VMC Beige Red with the lightest colour of the triad and then using VMC Black Glaze to pull it all together.
Happy with the result.
Also added the floor to Module three. Decided to use cork tile again which has been scored and distressed to represent damaged concrete when painted.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteThe battle damaged armour of the Blood Angel looks amazing. Great work!
Thank you. Having built quite a few 1/72nd modern and WW2 vehicle sin the past it was a case of transferring the techniques over to figures. Took a little bit of tickering but I'm happy with the progress.
