The good news is that Stop Day is less than a week away. The bad news is that Stop Day is less than a week away. I’ve got mad amounts of schoolwork to get done over the weekend, but I wanted to get this one off figure painted. Without further ado, my Deathwatch RPG character Thrasymachus in all his painted glory:
The next time I do a black figure like this I am NOT priming in white…
Also, painting a black scheme like this isn’t as simple as I thought it would be.
Are you talking to me?
Say “what” again, I dare you.
I have no idea if Black Templars ever use red crosses like this, but I wanted to, so it happened:
I’ve never done this much hard outlining on a figure. I’ve never needed to, but I just couldn’t make any details unless I did, so shaky as I am at it I had a go. I put the Necron head on there because he’s Deathwatch and should be killing himself some xenos scum. I don’t know that Necrons would have bright green blood, but I didn’t have an Ork head so now Necrons have bright green blood. Or leave their heads around Orks. Whatever. It looks cool. I also did some dry brushing with Mithril Silver, and I’m not good at that, either, but I think it kind of works.
I am not unhappy with him.
Oh yeah, since I didn’t have the skill to add the raised trim to the Terminator shoulder pad on his right shoulder, I painted the black trim on. Then I didn’t think it looked right, so I used the same grey mixture from the hard outlines to add some fake depth. I think the idea works, but my freehanding is shaky as all get out, so it’s a one step forward one step backward victory…
Reviresco!
