With only a limited amount of time off last week and no actual day off this coming week my aim is to do the bases with the astrogranite or possibly us the Martian Iron Crust to give these a stand out base, then plan to use the matt black on the weapons, high light that with iron warrior metallic and see how that goes.
I thinned down some pallid wytch flesh.
I'd forget the shoulder pads when I started the marines, and so ended up with this choice, the Space Wolf one or the plain, Reiver one.
The knife scabbards got the agrax treatment and the helmets got the Stormhost silver, sepia wash treatment at the same time as the shoulder pads.
The shoulder pads where started with a base coat of Averland Sunset and a Crimson wash, followed by a yeril yellow, then an orange wash, with a yeril yellow highlight and lastly a flash git yellow high light.
I did the wolf head with a base coat of Iron Warriors metallic, a coat of leadbleacher and a final highlight of stormhost silver, and decided to go with the wolf pads, which required me to paint 4 more shoulders...
The blue shoulder had a Thousand Sons blue base coat with a drakenhelm blue wash, I gave it a highlight of thousand sons, then a 50/50 layer of thousand sons blue and temple guard blue.
I also did both eyes on the helmets in a counter point to the shoulders, was also looking at the face plate, trying a sepia was on one with a screaming skull dry brush..
Plan for tomorrow after work is to find the Martian Iron Crust for the bases.
