Ultramarines Contemptor


Rider-75

Recommended Posts

Finally, after much time and fidgeting and procrastination, not to mention avoidance, and family life, the old boy is finished!

 

I really enjoyed assembling and painting this for the most part. The poseablilty and options in the kit are truly fantastic. There were times when I couldn't see the bugger far enough - noteably after I'd finished the blue, going round and recoating everything else in black was relentlessly tedious....

 

It's been a bit of a learning curve for a few techniques. I've tried a bit more work on adding small chips and scratches using just paint, and I've had a go with weathering powders too.

 

Anyway, enough preamble, on with the show!

Thanks for the feedback Torch!

 

It's:

Base mix of Mordian blue and chaos black

Block highlight of mordian blue over everything but recesses

Highlight through progressive mix up to edge of Ultramarine

Heavy Asurmen blue wash to enrich and even

Rehighlight to finish off

Thanks, I'm going to finish off my Dark Angels, then I'm planning to revamp my Ultramarine's from when I was a kid!

 

Great recipe, I'll have to transfer if over to the new paints, but I'm hoping it will work out a lot better than my previous attempts.

Thanks NP.

 

@Torch: Rough translation for paints is:

 

Mordian = Macragge

Ultramarine = Altdorf Guard

Asurmen = Drakenhof Nightshade

 

I've yet to try these as I've still got plenty of them for now... I'm just hoping that as I've rather a lot inbound that they match well or else I'll be rather :(
