Making a fist of Indomitus

It seems a long time since i posted something so there is the current state of play. The marines are mostly done, small details to finish and some shoulder transfers to do and some some tuffs on the bases.

Now for the necrons.

This is version on the GW indomitus basing they used in their videos. Starting with thin layer of vallejo thick mud, then paint everything with dawnstone. The a dry brush with rakarth flesh and the a light dry brush with deepkin skin.

Finally the rim is painted black, I will add some tufts at some point.

The sword hilt is flesh tearers red over wraithbone, with retributor armour highlight over the brass metal work on the belt, the halo on the backpack and the edges of the cross on the shield. The wax on the purity seals are volupus pink over wraithbone.

The parchment on the purity seals are aggaros dunes with black lines for the writing, jousting plate is the ceramite white and the eyes are mephiston red. I then attempted to make the eyes glow with successive rings of lighter red before moving to Dorn Yellow for the final ring. The final edge highlight on the black is administratum grey.

Finally the plasma glow uses fluorescent green from Vallejo mecha color, which is thin enough to flow into the groves leaving the wraithbone showing on the ridges.

To start with a base coat of Demonic Yellow from an army painter rattle can, then a wash with Cassandora Yellow. Then an over brush of Demonic Yellow as I felt the wash made the yellow to orangey, then a dry brush of Hexos Palesun.
Then the flexible joints and parts of the pistol are painted with leadbelcher, and all the cloth and leather parts are painted with wraithbone. The shoulder trim and the shield edges are painted black and the raised parts of the shield are painted with gunmetal.

Then black templar over the leadbelcher flexible joints, and the leather is cygor brown. The chest eagle is khorne red, and then washed with nuln oil as was all the remaining leadbelcher/gunmetal.

The remaining metal parts painted with brassy brass, the sword sheath is wyldwood. The black parts are edge highlighted with eshin grey and the main part of the shield is rakarth flesh.

After much experimenting with contrast paints I wasnt really happy with the finish on flat armour panels so I tried this paint scheme. I still need to add the transfers to the shoulder pads but they are out of stock with GW at the moment so they’ll have to wait.
