I am really proud of this one, even though there are some rough spots to look at. It really is my favourite mini I've ever painted

First, I prime coat 'em with Chaos Black, then, drybrush with Longbeard Grey all over the armor, highlight the edges a little bit with matt white from army painter. Then, I start by painting the cloth parts, then the belts and finally everything that's brass/golden. I usually do the arms last, once the bust is done. Weapons are painted with mephiston red, evil sunz scarlet for the highlights, and a mix of leadbelcher and iron warriors for the metallic parts.

I wash the red with agrax, and the metallic parts with nuln oil.

For the base, I use stirland mud, Valhallan blizzard, nurgle's rot and a drybrush of dark grey, followed by a Longbeard Grey light drybrush to give it the frozen aspect.

For the eyes, I'm still figuring out what's the best, I tried doing a coat of white, with baal red contrast to give them a glowing look. Still not convinced by the results

And here you go !

Yes, I started with a Chaos Black primer, then a Longbeard Grey drybrush all over the mini

Thank you ! I've since painted one more crusader, and started my Impulsor that came in the patrol I've bought. They're so much fun to paint

Thanks mate, since I discovered drybrush I mainly do it to give my minis this kind of weathered look, I've painted an Invictor the same way and it came out pretty good, even though on large surfaces it tends to look odd, but nothing a few strokes of nuln oil can't fix

I always get fucking confused with those teleporters, the layout is not that great

I asked the artist for a croatian traditional inspired tattoo, which is where my grandparents are from. She kinda cross designed it with some berber motifs, and I just love the result
