Please find the progress of my army below.


 


 


 


 


He was the first to arrive so I jumped straight in. Project number one is the Primarch himself. Perturabo.


 


 


The main torso section undercoated, based and starting now to pick at details.

This is a leg section I started. (Please note that painting chevrons is not easy!)

Like the steel colour of the armour. How did you do it?

 

Basecoated a mixture of chainmail silver and black.

 

Highlight of chainmail.

 

Washed in medium and nuln oil.

 

Washed again focusing more in the recesses.

 

Highlighted with chainmail.

 

It's really simple but I wanted to go for that cool, smoky look. Something real beat up and war ready. Lots of weathering to do at the later detailing stage.

They kind of went into the "I'll get back to you soon" basket. Well, it's soon, and I'm gonna finish these guys! Perturabo is pretty much done and I'll get some snaps of him tonight.


 


I built up my own Warsmith, he's wielding a rather large and menacing axe! He's built from Iron Hand kit.

I know it's early but does anyone have any suggestions for basing style?

 

Considering doing a flat plate base, maybe with a small step but with nuts and bolts lying around on the ground. Maybe some of the plate warped, or bent up and jagged at the end. Also some hex plate, or grating. Color would be dark metal again, but with spots of high contrast rust and maybe some iodized coppery bits with the teal iodization.

 

I wanted to stay true to a theme with them, maybe they are protecting an old Forgeworld from a Xenos invasion.
