WIP: Grey Knights Characters - Part 2


In this post, I'm focusing on the Brother Captain.  It was time to paint in the gold details using Vallejo Brass (70.801) shaded with GW Reikland Fleshshade. Now things start looking flashy and ornate!

With the gold addressed, I blocked in more base colors.  The storm bolter was cleaned up along with the halberd.  Then the shrine was painted in and a rough crenelated pattern painted on the tilting shield.  The braid across the front of the armor got some attention next followed by the trim on the cloak and loin cloth next, red trim on the outside and white trim on the inside.  When I had to call it for the night, the shield on the right and the head were all the remained unpainted.

I'm going to duplicate the black crenelations on the right shoulder pad panel.  There is a little more cleanup I want to do as well over all.  Then it'll be time to paint in the remaining shield and head.  With the base colors complete, I'll get to work on the highlights. Grand Master Voldus also had is gold details painted in.

I've been a little distracted by Kill Team and general summer family fun, but progress has been made!  I'm confident I'll get these two completed before the end of the month. Then it will be time to take stock on the current hobby season as I plan for the next!

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
