Blood Angel Intercessor (finished)

Locked and loaded.
A very short post just as proof of the next Intercessor Marine having been finished. I've gone for darker lighting to reduce the glare off the top surfaces, but I might have gone a bit far. Works with the gun though. Still can't get enough light to really show the airbrushed darker area, as they're mostly in the naturally dark areas anyway.

The decals aren't matching as nicely against the surfaces for some reason, with the transparent edging showing too much. I may need a stronger solvent, or perhaps apply the decal before the varnish spray step. I'll the try the latter next time.

No grass on the base. I normally put a tuft or two on, however for this model to make it different I went with less is more; the base seems balanced enough with the pose that I didn't want to overload it and detract from the Marine.

Not shown is the right pauldron company insignia. I've run out of white decal variants, so applied a black decal instead and painted over it with Grey Seer and White Scar. It's not as smooth as I could make it - next time, it would be better to use multiple thinner coats, but I was rushing a little. Celestra Grey would also be a good alternative for the base colour.

-- silly painter.
