Wow! Very good job! Especially the lenses and the cloth! :lol: I notice the head is from Baal pred set, I like it ;)

It is good to see that you used bits from devastator set to create a very good techmarine. Well done!

 

Also, what red did you use?

Thanks for the comments :) I will base him, but later, with the rest of the army.

 

Bitz I used, as I remember them:

 

MK5 Torso and Legs, Left Arm, Loincloth, Auspex, Backpack from Tactical Squad box

Right chainsaw arm from the Assault Squad box

Missile Backpack from AOBR

Power Axe from 2nd Ed Special Weapons Sprue

Head from Baal Predator

Shoulderpads from Land Raider

Servoskull from Devastator Squad

Purity Seals from.. somewhere :)

 

Missed anything?

 

Oh, the servo skull is actually attached to the armpit, not the backpack.

 

Also, here's how I painted the red:

 

1. Duplicolor Grey Primer, light coat spray

2. 2 layers of FolkArt Lipstick Red (GW Blood Red) (1:1 watered down)

3. 1 wash of GW Ogryn Flesh (2:1 GW Ogryn Flesh, water)

4. 1 wash of GW Baal Red

5. Ogryn Flesh into recesses that need more shades

6. Highlight with FolkArt Lipstick Red (GW Blood Red)

7. Highlight with FolkArt Red Light (1:1 GW Blood Red, GW Blazing Orange)

8. Very slight highlight with FolkArt Pure Orange (GW Blazing Orange)

 

I'm not 100% happy with my metallics either, any tips on how to improve?

 

Always happy to hear more (and more!) comments!

Thanks for the red recipe :) I think I'll try to implement it :)

 

As for the metal parts, I also struggle with them. I try to use the good old dry rushing to give those part metallic look and not apply excessive paint... Still not happy with it :-/
