"Bloody skulls for the bloody guy!!!"
Sounds like I have a decent war cry for this giant Cult Leader, even though I have yet to come up with a name for him. I have, between projects, managed to slap some color onto him however. First I primed the model in Chaos Black spray and then I worked on the foundation coloring for the base.

Following the steps I pulled from a White Dwarf (and first used by me
on my Bolt Action British Infantry) for painting Caucasian flesh, I based coated the fleshy bitz in Bugman's Glow.

And followed it up with a coat of Cadian Fleshtone.

This was followed by a sloppy wash of Reikland Fleshtone ink. Also, you might notice in these pics that I was painting up the skulls on this miniature during these stages as well.

Next, I wanted to get some of the other areas painted before putting the final colors of flesh on the model. Mostly because I wanted to avoid getting any other color on it. First, I used scab red as a basecoat for the armor. I am going to the paint the armor bits so that they are uniform (in color, not quite style) with the
Khorne Berserkers that I have been working on. I am resisting the temptation to leave him like this...I think that scab red works really well on this guy!
I then painted Balthasar Gold on the areas that will be golden/bronze.
That's it for now, I should have this chap finished soon.
