Following up from the previous post I got right into painting this fiend. I started out by painting just about the entire model using Khorne Red. An appropriate color choice for sure. On the brass areas I used my tried snd true Ral Partha Bronze. The bones, tusks, skulls and hooves were coated using Corax White.

Next I washed all of the flesh using Agrax Earthshade. The bones areas were coated with Skeleton Horde Contrast Paint.

| Washes on most of it. |
The armor was coated using the classic Citadel color from the '90s,
Blood Red. Still my go-to after all these years.

After tightening up that red armor I finished it with a subtle edge highlight of another classic '90s color,
Sunburst Yellow.  |

The bones and such were all given a layer of
Screaming Skull paint. It was at this point I decided to make the space marine helmet (which I think probably still has a head in it) an Ultramarine. It was a color contrast choice more than anything. I like to make the dead marines on my chaos bases Dark Angels but I haven't encountered any on the tabletop in years.

This is a good place to stop. He is almost done and I should get him wrapped up in Part 3. See you then!
