Greetings.
It's time to call this Indomitus Judiciar DONE. He's been great fun to paint and I found myself sinking into the minutia of details, where I could pick away with highlights, etc. ad nauseum. So today I'm calling it quits so I can move on to the last character, a Chaplain. I'm not painting the Indomitus Chaplain from the box, as I've decided that Chaplain will go to the Blades of Vengeance. I'm using the older Primaris Chaplain with the cool robes for the Dark Angels. But I digress...on to the big stamp o' DONE.
I used this week to complete the hour glass, backpack, and miscellaneous other details I hadn't quite got to for the last WIP post. The hourglass got red sand, something I took some time to decide. I tried something new here, using a gloss varnish to help with the glass look. I recognize I could have done something with highlights to give the impression of glass as well, and maybe better. But this will do.
I also put some more work into the buttons and button holes to make the robes a bit more interesting. Some mud and dirt was dry brushed over the boots to tie the model to the base.
The backpack was highlighted and the icon painted. some more button detail also visible below. So...many...buttons...
The sword finishes up kind of plain, but it suits his chapter executioner role. No power leads present, so I did not paint it as a power sword.
And a last look at the right side, with more of the hourglass shown, and the pop of color from the green sleeve cuff.
So there we have a completed Dark Angels Indomitus Judiciar. Now to wait for the new codex to find out how either on or off the paint job is once we see the models role in that Chapter. 😂 I decided not to get too wound up over that so I could get the project done. For the remainder of January I'll be working on the Chaplain. Then for Squaduary 2021, I'm going to paint the fourteen chaos cultists guardsmen for Blackstone Fortress, so I can call the original set of hostiles done and move on to the characters.
I hope your projects are going well, and you are staying safe out there.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
Definitely got a grim reaper vibe going on for me, lovely. I use a lot of varnish instead of highlights these days too. Works perfectly here. I've been meaning to paint my Blackstone cultists for literally years now.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Definitely grim.
DeletePhwoar, he looks terrific, mate! Perfect head swap and I really like the paint job as well. He looks sinister as heck.
ReplyDeleteSinister, but still totally loyal. ;P Thanks!
