So, after a few finishing details the Cataphractii Praetor has been completed. It started with additional highlights, like the leather seen peeking from beneath the chain-mail on the shoulders and wrapped around the great sword's hilt.
Then the pistol had to be completed, of course. Still not sure why I waited until the end to paint this.
Not the most glorious of First Legion relics, but functional and ready to put paid to the enemies of the Emperor of Mankind.
And at last, I took to heart suggestions from Castigator and shaded the censor hanging from his belt with GW Seraphim Sepia. I also painted in some lettering on the oath of moment scraps hanging from the right pauldron.
A stylized number one decal was added to the right shoulder as well, matching the Forge World paint job, taken from a Dark Angels decal sheet. And with that, the the good ol' Model Masters Lusterless Flat lacquer was sprayed over all and the model was moved to the DONE pile.
What follows is a customary photo shoot in the light box. Please enjoy, or pass as you wish. I'm now torn on whether to try and complete the remaining characters I started in December of 2019, or move on and get into some Blackstone Fortress minis. I wanted to use Squaduary to complete another unit for the First Legion so it probably makes sense to stay focused on that paint scheme for the remainder of January. Check back next week to find out more.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!

Oh he looks great and the group shot is very evocative, nice one.
ReplyDeleteI always regret not finishing a group of models at the same time because I lose the motivation once I start something else. I'd stick with the rest of the characters while you are on a roll with them.
Thank you!
DeleteGorgeous Space Knight! :) Just as HH era DA should be! Luther is that you?
