I finally got around to finishing the Sanguinary Guard, making them a full 10-man unit, and with the leftover gold I decided to paint up a Blood Angels Command Squad. The Librarian showed up just for the photo.
I was a bit lazy with the gold this time around and skipped most of the previous shading and highlighting in favor of a more simple, zenithal highlighting approach using the airbrush. .
Some base-coating here...
And the final pictures; hopefully I'll have more photos from the battlefield soon!
Now on to the Red ones...

ReplyDeleteThe gold looks great, which of your methods did you use to achieve that look?
ReplyDeleteHey thanks, ...it was more or less my previous (vallejo model colour method 3) recipe. I got lazy this time though and relied on the airbrush for the xenithal highlights, it worked fine.
Deletebase - vmc brass + brown
xenith hl 1 - vmc gold
xenith hl 2 - vmc gold + tiny bit of vmc silver
Then I just did a wash with very thinned p3-umbral umber.
