WIP. |
Continuing from part 2, the next stage was to apply the layer of Ultramarines Blue. This is the mid- '90s color that I am thankful to still have a nearly full pot of. It's a brighter version of the color of the same name that came in the '89 Space Marine Paint Set.

Ultramarines Blue stage. |
The next step was to apply a highlight of Fenrisian Grey to the edges.

Fenrisian Grey highlights. |
Those green eyes...they somehow work. I was going to make them red. Should I still do that or leave them? Anyway, I will deal with it soon enough...

Green eyes...keep em or not? |
I really like how well the Fenrisian Grey works with the other colors and I think it makes the whole thing pop. I have been using
this recipe since the start of 40k 8th edition and I definitely going to stick with it.

Next up, I am going to touch up the metal bits, particularly the gear works in the arm and legs, and then I got to make a decision regarding the where the decals are going to go. I have decided not to switch bases after all but stick this current one on a regular Dreadnought sized base. I go t an idea that I think will work better than just scattered bullet shells on rocks. I hope I can get it done by the end of Dreadtober, but we'll see...
