Hello everyone, 

 

I would like to share my newly painted Black Legion Exalted Champion. I am very pleased with how he came out, please let me know what you think about him!

My first serious attempt at freehanding, the Eye of Horus marking this Legionnaire out as a true veteran of the Long War and a staunch traditionalist who still honours the Sons of Horus of old.

Thanks for looking!

What's the recipe for your gold, it looks brighter than the ones I've seen.

 

I start with a basecoat of Balthasar Gold, followed by a shade of Agrax Earthshade, then I make a glaze using Auric Armour Gold & Lahmian Medium (more Auric Armour Gold than Medium) which I paint all over the parts I want to be gold. Then I make a glaze of Agrax Earthshade & Lahmian Medium (more Medium than Agrax) and paint that all over. Finally I highlight with Liberator Gold. If one layer doesn't cover the previous layer completely I apply a second coating, although that's usually not necessary. Make sure to use your brush to keep an even coat as the paint dries, the shading & glazes have a tendency to pool towards the bottom of the armour pieces.
