Since last week I got a bit more work done on this clunky relic of the past.

| Early basecoats. |
Quite a bit actually. My Deathwatch scheme is simple, I use a dark grey topped with a lighter one on the edges with a little white on the corners for the final highlight.
 |
| The mid-coats. |
For the gold areas I used my old and trusty
Ral Partha Copper Metallic. On the icons I applied a mid-coat of
Retributor Gold. These two colors work well together which is amusing considering their age gap. The melta gun is going to go in a slightly different direction but it used that same base color.

The last thing I managed to do (up to this point) is paint the scroll work on his leg and the purity seal on the main gun. I still haven't chosen what I will write on that leg scroll yet.
He is mostly completed now, let's see if I can knock it out before month's end.
Really coming along great! While the Deathwatch scheme might be simple, it's also very effective. I do like those little splashes of color - the gold and the red. They stand out even better against the more monochrome main colours.
ReplyDeleteLookin' good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I agree, the "less is more" approach works well with the Deathwatch. It's easy to get carried away with specific chapter iconography when it comes to working on the Deathwatch.
