Continuing on from Part 1, it's time to paint this first-born hero.
After a bit of internal debate, I decided to go ahead and paint the right shoulder pad a bone color instead of gold. I thought this might break up the monotony a bit. I kind of like the armor bewing white. It reminds me of a Dark Angel force that was shown in White Dwarf back in the '90s that had all the leader models painted in Death Wing white. Well, that's an idea for a different army I think. Next I painted the armor black using good old Abaddon Black
Next I picked out the gun holster and the wax part of the purity seal using Khorne Red. Gee, for a guy who hates Chaos, he sure is adorned with a lot of colors named for it, huh?
So, I suppose he's painted to a Combat Ready standard, but I have no intention of keeping him this way. So far it's been fun painting up this old miniature. Next up, his mid-coats and highlights.
