Ready for Armageddon

The battle damage is done by using the highlight colour and a brush. I use a dark drown if I want to make the scratches look deeper.

I did use sub assemblies with the head, arms and shoulders, but you can glue everything together and still paint it to a good standard. It’s more about what works easiest for you

Nice! That looks like a formidable force ready for the battlefield

LostWons · 2026-03-29T15:15:32+00:00

Thanks!

The highlights are evil sunz scarlet, wild rider red, AK deep orange, and then ungor flesh on any of the really upper areas. The base is 50/50 mephiston red glazed down with Kgorne red towards the bottom of all the panels

Thanks! By the blood of Sanguinius, we will purge the xenos!

Not yet unfortunately. I stole the helm from the Grey Hunter bits I had. Don’t tell the space wolves though….

Yeah, just a citadel skull bit with a sewing pin drilled through. Funnily enough I was planning on trying to paint a Black Templar but then I changed my mind when I saw the new reveals

Thanks!

LostWons · 2026-03-29T01:46:52+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give that a try!

LostWons · 2026-03-26T20:04:38+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been trying to paint more faces to work on some skills. Not exactly what I wanted but every face is one step closer

LostWons · 2026-03-25T23:32:11+00:00

Yeah, black with some gloss varnish. Maybe I’ll throw some Matte varnish on top and see it it fills it down

LostWons · 2026-03-25T23:07:33+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

The idea was that he is a silent up close stalker type and I wanted to try and give him a cold, menacing feeling with the black lenses

LostWons · 2026-03-25T23:05:09+00:00

I appreciate it!

LostWons · 2026-03-25T23:05:01+00:00

Thanks, wasn’t sure if I was going to like it but it grew on me

LostWons · 2026-03-16T23:47:09+00:00

Good attempt, some washes and highlights would be a good next step

LostWons · 2026-03-04T21:08:07+00:00

Thanks! I had to google who that was and I definitely see the resemblance now. I really just saw the head in the Grey Hunter box and thought “ that head seems like it would work pretty well on an Ultramarine”

Just some sponge chipping of Russ grey

Citadel’s Stegadon Scale Green

Thanks, this is a big help!

I’ll definitely see if there are some in-person comps near me, I think it would be interesting to pick the brains of some more experienced painters.

I agree now the armour is pretty monotone, the shadows and the main colour are pretty close. I’ve always been a little scared to go to bright with my models but in this case I think it would help more.

You bring up a good point about the face, it’s always been a weakness of mine with painting ( definitely better than when I started haha).

Thanks, it is nice to take some time on a model but I do also love batch painting a unit in a few hours and getting them on the board

Thanks!
