Legion Praetor Tribune WIP #2

Arm-ament ongoing
A short update on the Legion Praetor Tribune, including a very bad photo. Hoping to get that sorted out soon - a proper lighted booth and turntable to take photos in.

The usual armour higlighting was done, however a coat of Purity Seal was added part way through because everything became too "shiny" from the flow improver (Lahmian Medium alternative) used. This really can't be seen in the photo, but the effort to he basic armour highlights, as ever, pays off in the end.

Gold trimming was a bit of an exercise this time around:
  • Balthasar Gold (Base)
  • Druchii Violet (Shade)
  • Gehenna's Gold (Layer), first highlight
  • Auric Armour Gold (Layer), second highlight
  • Reikland Fleshshade (Gloss Shade), just in select areas
  • Liberator Gold (Layer), final edge highlight

The blue wings on the chest piece works nicely as a bit of balance, and will help to create more focus in that area. A different head to the standard will be used, but it's not painted yet. I've decided to attempt to give the head a blue glow, emanating from within the armour itself. This is partly in preparation for when I work on Horus, and also just for something different to make this model stand out from others.

Next, however, I will likely concentrate on enough to get more of the model assembled.

Another Lizardman Rider has been finished too. Only 5 more of those to go.
