I have been kinda sick lately so I haven't been able to advance that much on my miniatures to be honest. But yesterday i was able to paint for quite a while and advances were made.
Basically I finished highlighting the yellows with a mix of bright yellow and cream, painted the blacks with a mix of purple, black and cream, painted the shadows of the reds with a blue glaze and highlighted with mixtures of red and orange, did lights on the whites with a very light gray and white on the sharpest edges and painted the golds with mixes of gold and silver. This process was the same for all the minis.
My captain first, as is his privilege because of his rank. I also did a little freehanding on his tabbard. Just a fist and the VII on each side and a white line to decorate. Nice and simple.
I also painted the skin with a mid tone peach and did highlights of that base color plus some cream.
I still have to paint the shadows of the flesh, finish the silvers. and start to paint the chapter and rank symbols and decorations.
I ended up changing the casing on his weapons because of contrast. This way they pop a bit more, it seems. I'm still thinking if I should add checkers on the weapons or just different insignia.
The flesh tone was the same recipee as the captain and I also changed his re-breather to white because that way it's easier to mark him as a veteran.
I painted his hair in grays but with a little of yellow shade painted on top as a glaze, to make it look different of just an old man.
Also i'm looking for symbols to freehand on his gorget, back pack and greaves.
And now the Apothecary.
I was thinking that a leopard like detail in the fur might look awesome on him but I'd like to read your suggestions. Also on the symbols for him, if you guys would like.
Many many thanks for reading these posts and I hope you guys like them :)
