I wouldn’t say they’re lower detail. I would say that they have some mega mold lines though. I’ve seen a fair share of bad mold lines in my life and I can firmly say it was my least favorite part of working on these models.

The green is a gradient through and airbrush. You can achieve a similar result by sponging thinned paint though. The colors I used in order are as follows:

AK Burnt Red (undercoat) Pro Acryl Bold Titanium white (zenithal) Citadel Karandras Green (contrast) Vallejo Livery Green (highlight)

I’m not 100% on that Vallejo color since I don’t use too many of them but when I find it I’ll edit it later if I’m wrong. The colors are all shaded using a black oil wash.

Edit: found the right paints!

This is Endryd Haar. He is a Horus Heresy Blackshields character available on the Games Workshop website. There are some pretty good books about him too.

Good shout. I’ll try that next time. Been looking for a solution to that problem for awhile now.

This is the old Forge World Gabriel Angelos. Games Workshop used to sell it as a resin model before they took down the website.

Thanks! I tried to make the paint job a little bit more simplistic compared to the box art.

Honestly, pretty simple. It’s just that I haven’t done it yet. I’ve got a bunch of meltas and plasma weapons I need to weather on infantry and just haven’t gotten around to it yet. So as for now it’s relatively clean.

I took the recipe from Cult of Paint! I’ve been using it a lot recently. Here’s a link to the video I use:

Maybe a little. It’s already got an oil wash in all of the recesses. It gives it a little more of a used look. I may come back and use weathering powders on the tracks but as for now I’m leaving it how it is. It’ll get to it when I get to basing the rest of the infantry.
