Intercessor Sergeant

There! A cookie!

Next Intercessor done, a Sergeant this time. It honestly took a bit of mental effort to get this model done, which is a sign that I need to take a bit of a break; I'll have a short hiatus for a week or two after this.

Nothing much to really say though. The face was done with Kislev Flesh, Guilliman Flesh (Contrast), and a bit of Seraphim Sepia in a few areas as it seemed appropriate (e.g under the nose). Also in this case I painted the eyes first before anything else to try and get a black line around them. It worked, but I'm not sure I prefer it over perhaps a different colour, or maybe the line is too thick. In any case, it was easier to paint in the eyes before anything else.

I might have preferred black for the hair; black just seems a more natural fit for the close cropped appearance. As a Son of Sanguinius however, it would have a natural tendency towards blonde and I wanted to see if I could make it work. I think it does, after a fashion, and so this Marine's moniker will be "der Krieger".

Decals worked better this time with using the airbrush cleaner on them before applying any varnish or sealant. I spent a bit more time on it as well, letting the solvent sit for longer and worked more at it with the brush. Not sure if any of that helped, or if the base colour helps, of it's just a matter of the decal. In any case, it looks far better this time around.

Still one more Intercessor to go before those included in the Dark Imperium boxed set are finished.

-- silly painter.
