Blood Angel Objectives!

[BigBaals]

I got tired of using random items as objectives, and our local daemon player has his own objectives. I decided I'd take a stab at making my own! Here they are! WIP of course.

Also I'm getting prepared for the big Second Wave! I thought some Sanguinary Guard would do nicely. I absolutely loathe the small pictures on GW's website, but I like to mix their techniques with the ones I read about here. So are some larger pictures of how to paint the Sanguinary Guard armor according to Games Workshop

 

Basecoat black!

Next, basecoat in shining gold. I keep my paint fairly thin. It might take 2-3 coats to get the gold you're looking for. I don't go too crazy because the subsequent steps will help cover the minor bits of black that still show through. See here:

Next - watered down 1:1 scortched earth and chaos black. Directly into the recesses. Let that dry for a bit. Add Leviathan Purple wash directly into the recesses.

And finally - a thin 1:1 mix of Mithril Silver and Shining gold. I like it a little heavier on the shining gold at this stage. Here is where I veer off the beaten path. I don't highlight edges at this point. I begin to build up this coat onto the largest parts of the armor. Finally, a quick and thin bit of mithril silver to accentuate the armor. Edge highlight if you want. But here's what I ended up with:

I like the gold. It has a nice multi-tone worn effect. If you happen to have a copy of the recent Space Hulk you could use the terminator, grail, and robot as objectives mounted on bases of course. *thumbs up for the dead bugs*
