Azrakh the Annihilator - Part III

 

When NMM makes the eyes tired.

After staring at the work in progress model one too many times and deciding I wanted to try finish it before the next Warhammer+ model comes along, I've finally progressed more on this insanity. I'm still following the box art as much as I can, and it's definitely forcing me to get a feeling for NMM, but there are times where I seriously regret deciding to paint the model this way.

Then there are other times where the results are amazing and it definitely looks far better than if I'd used metallic paints. Hopefully this will be the feeling whenever I manage to finish it all.

Rather obviously I'm not done with the trim yet, and the keen eye will notice a tone difference between the shoulder pad and everything else. I've not yet added Lamenter's Yellow glaze anywhere else yet, so I'm hoping that will harmonise everything - and if not, well...I'll deal with that later. I've otherwise tried to follow the formula from before, but given the months gap between then and now, then I shouldn't be surprised if it ends up slightly different. I may have to refresh the paint on the palette soon as well, which again might introduce some more variation.

I haven't done any more of the red armour yet. Nor have I started on silver and grey NMM areas. There is still an awful lot to go on this model, and it's taking time away from other projects, but I would like to get it finished.

The only other new item of note in this short post is the use of white recently on the palette. I've started to try using a white ink, which is surprisingly useful. It flows nicely when mixed into other paints, and doesn't separate or dry out as quickly on the wet palette. I think I still prefer White Scar for point higlights, with the ink being closer to Corax White, but the ink is probably going to be better for glazing. I'll continue with the model and see where I get.

And now back to the left arm.
