Assault Intercessor Death Company - Part III

Goblet and halo on the backpack. Why? Because he can.

 

Fully assembled now, I'm starting to pick back up the pace with painting these Death Company. None of the red has been highlighted yet, but the outline of the red crosses on the armour has been done. These will be brightened to make them stand out more.

The metallics are mostly done for this phase, and I'll come back to them after the varnish spray. I've used the gloss shades this time around because the base was already quite dark (Iron Hands Steel) and I didn't want to push it further. The gold is Balthasar Gold with Cryptek Armourshade Gloss just to see how it would look. The shade has a slightly red hue to it, and I've been looking for an excuse to see how it goes with the various golds.

Back in black.

 The holster is another new experiment with the Contrast range.

• Zandri Dust over the leather areas.
• Screaming Skull to add scratches, creases, and general wear along the edges.
• Gore Grunta Fur over the whole area. It was applied a little too heavily in this case.
• Agrax Earthshade around some recessed areas, or to darken as necessary.

I'm not entirely convinced that Gore Grunta Fur was the right choice, but I don't have much of the Contrast range and so it was the best choice at the time. It should have been applied just a little thinner however. The Screaming Skull doesn't show through particularly much either, so might need something a bit brighter in future. Still, while this might not work against full red armour, here it's better than the normal brown I've been using.

The purple gems on the right pauldron I was going to keep mostly as purple, but may try to highlight to a red just for something different.

-- silly painter.
