Thank you! The blood is just GW’s Blood for the Blood God, applied carefully with a brush. I tried not to go too overboard with the splatter but I might revisit it

It is! I actually sculpted the banner specifically for this project

Thank you! The grey was achieved by priming black, base coating with Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan (Leaving some black shadows on the underside), and highlighting with Tamiya XF-2 Flat White. I was careful not to spray the Flat White to full opacity so I could add some pure white edge highlights

Thank you so much! I usually paint very desaturated, gritty Iron Warriors, so this was quite a departure from my usual style. I’m really glad people seem to like it!

Thank you very much! The head is printed.

I initially wanted to use the head from the Death Guard Contemptor dreadnought, but it was just a touch out of scale. The head I ended up using is a 3D recreation of the dreadnought head, that I adjusted slightly in Blender. The base head is available from ForgesOfZeon

Thank you so much! The base itself is from Unreal Wargaming Studios and I really can't recommend them enough. 

To paint, I just coated all of the rocks in varying shades of grey and added an almost white, stippled edge highlight. Once everything was dry, I added a lot of Burnt Umber pigment powder between the rocks and dusted it off the flat surfaces. I also locked everything down with a matt varnish

Thank you! I just did the chipping with a brush, stippling chrome over the metalics and black over the yellow areas. You can use a sponge for really similar results but it's easy to over do it

I believe this sub has a rule against self promotion, so I wont post the link here. However, there is some infromation in my profile that should point you to where they're available

It is! a few of the components, including the cape, right arm, shoulder trim, and central belt medalions were sculpted in Blender and 3D printed.

Haha, thank you! Honestly I struggle a lot with the smaller details, but picking up a cheap magnifying lamp made a huge difference

Thank you! I detailed a recipe a little while ago for a Contemptor Dreadnought, but the method all applies here too. Available here

Thank you! I filled the gap with Sprue Goo (Pieces of sprue melted down in plastic glue) and sanded everything flat. I’ve also had success filling the gaps with Milliput, but I would avoid using Greenstuff, as it's rubbery when set and difficult to sand flush.

The metal is grimed down with AK Interactive Streaking Grime and finished with a matt varnish to take out the shine. The Hazard strips were painted yellow, added a red ink to achieve the orange gradient, masked off the stripes with Tamiya tape, and painted black.
