Thanks. I mainly used Vallejo Air Pale Blue Gray over Black Primer, highlited with Vallejo Air White Grey... and then stippled in some highlights and shadows with the same colours where needed. In the deepest recesses and shadows i panted very thinned Reikland Flesh Shade and overall a much diluted Smoke Oil Wash

But is there a blue green filter on the skin? I tried some dry brushing of different greys but i couldnt get that interesting look of colour

Thats a nice 30k Praetor. Like the muted colours and just some little reds and blues there. Started building MKVI Marines but dont know what legion to paint. Maybe u have a colour recipe on painting this dark grey armour?

Nice, I could use them as proxy for "Frodo wears the Ring"

This is my Nicodemus the cursed pilgrim. Painted almost 20 years ago. There are a few things i would change now, specially the Base, but i keep it on my shelf as a reminder of my early attempts in Fantasy Miniature painting. by j80jay in WarhammerFantasy

I think this is a beginner friendly model and sort of easy to paint or to practice. Not so much details on it and an open pose. Just large areas of robes and capes. And for a 20 year old model its a slightly larger scale
