The first member of my Golden Lions squad is finished. I went with the classic red camo colour scheme despite it not really making any sense in the Venusian jungle theme I have going for my Imperial. It could be explained though with this squad just recently being transferred from an Martian battlezone for example. Or them normally operate in the shadows and darkness so the actual camo don't have much of an impact.
The model was really fun to paint and it was one of the first models where I used airbrush for the initial layers of paint. You can see in the pictures further down how he looked when only painted with an airbrush. I will probably do more airbrush work in the future but I need an better airbrush for that. I didn't paint on the Imperial emblem on his right shoulder pad because I heard rumors about transfers in the future so I hope I can use that instead, the emblem would be a paint to free hand anyway. Hope you like how he turned out.
