Legion Praetor Tribune (Complete)

 I actually finished this model a couple of weeks ago, but had it on display in the local Games Workshop store (or Warhammer store, as it's called now). An incredibly fun model to paint.

 There's not too much to say about the painting, although a couple of points stand out. The gold trim was a combination of several layers, being:

• Balthasar Gold (Base)
• Druchii Violet (Shade)
• Gehenna's Gold (Layer) (Most of the area, leaving recesses alone)
• Auric Armour Gold (Layer) (Less area, mostly edges)
• Reikland Fleshshade (Gloss Shade) (Selected areas)
• Liberator Gold (Layer) (Edge highlights)

And my axe.

Another point of interest might actually be the base. After covering it with Astrogranite, some Mechanicus Standard Grey helped to even out the colours and bind the texture paint down. Multiple drybrush applications, picked almost at random and I can't recall exactly what was used now and then different shades applied. It's the different shades that ended up being the most useful: Nuln Oil, Reikland Fleshshade, Seraphim Sepia, Agrax Earthshade, even a little Drakenhof Nightshade. It all just helps to give extra definition and depth to the base. Incredibly simple, but quite effective.

Last note: messed up the head a bit. Couldn't quite get the eyes right, so he's a little battle scarred.

-- silly painter.
