The "slabs of muscle" as described in his army entry in the Imperial Codex, are there on the model, long and broad and ready to be filled with paint. Adding extra lines to the muscle gives it a fibre and tensing look, and really brings the model to live. It is the flesh on this model that I feel proudest of.
The metallic less so. I ran out of time and got a bit rushed and thought that drybrushed metallic paint over black will do. And frankly I think its a bit of second division painting that detracts from the things I've done well. I'm a bit disappointed with it.
The base was just a standard gaming base (sand, scorched brown, dry brushed bestial, dry brushed bleached bone, pva static grass) so that I can give the model to my brother and he can get some use out of Sgt. Harker in his Imperial Guard Corps.
I will take some more shots of models I've painted shortly, updating the Sorcorer and the Defiler when I can.
So what's happened to these other photos you promised?
ReplyDeleteHis flesh is definitely awesome. For a contrast you can see the flesh of the (finally!) finished Scouts on MyBatt, though they're good enough for my skill level I think. You've got the shading completely spot on though, it's incredible.
