Taking advantage of half term I managed to get the new Archaon from Games Workshop finished and ready to start playing games with. I used the same colour scheme for the bulk of the model as I have used for most of my Chaos Army - you can see the basic scheme here in my Archaon Part 1 Post.
I completed all the wings from the previous post and then got onto the fun stuff of painting the heads. I was able to go into much more detail with these and blend and layer properly. I kept them really bright and I really like the overall effect, especially on the Tzeentch head. I used a lot of fine line work to represent the feathers which worked well. The Nurgle head was done in my usual Nurgle cartoon style, particularly with the bright purple lips. The red Khorne head isn't my favourite sculpt, but I love how the red came out. I just used Mephiston red with a black/carroburg crimson wash, then highlighted with Evil Sunz Scarley and Firedragon Bright. This was a really good combination I got off the GW video.
Once these were done I watered down a lot of Vallejo luminous Green mixed with white to a really milky consistency and just flowed it all into the gaps. I added yellow to the bigger wider cracks too, too make them more vibrant.
Once this was all done I did the base quickly in my usual scheme, then I spent two hours fixing mistakes and areas that needed repainting due to me rubbing paint off whilst holding it!
And here are the final photos - hope you like them!
