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.

Base coats. |
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.

Blood Red armor. |
After tightening up that red armor I finished it with a subtle edge highlight of another classic '90s color,
Sunburst Yellow. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThWCsFqM7Dl1GgRrFU2eWytbTg2Ut4RdxNmN5abpnkVvnh34HZM8SZ9x4cG88po1J4o7lD05YJVND0RibPGltRl-TtylCFWshDi4nk5Fhk9QMBr2BXaSGg0873X5WhL0g4aowxmCC-DsXWjbfrIFlIdBrKnvCtKwFP5W-BReAHgnN2VMIMmVXgf9FYtGC/s320/SmartSelect_20240418-222333_Gallery.jpg) |
Sunburst Yellow highlights. |
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!
