As Raptors are traditionally less ostentatious and more prosaic than other chapters, I felt the Sergeant Jovan model would make a good captain for my 2nd Company. I gave him an older and more austere appearance with a head swap, and made him feel more like a captain with a company banner.
I went a bit more grimdark than normal on the paint job, with some streaking grime and oil paint mapping.
Hi Luther, thanks for the inspiration. This guy looks great! I liked the bass so much I’ve ordered some myself. Do you mind me asking what tones/paint you used to do the base? Thanks, Luke
Thanks Luke!
Colours for the base were:
– Vallejo 71.029 (shadows) and 71.027 (highlights)
– Airbrush spray of Citadel Seraphim Sepia
– Drybrush Vallejo 70.837
– Tamiya Panel Line Accent Dark Brown for the cracks and crevices
For the rusty steel:
– Vallejo 70.985
– Nuln Oil Wash
– AK Light Rust wash around the bottom
– AK Rusty Streaks running down underneath
Thanks Luther!
Hi again Luther, do you spray the seraphim sepia liberally as a wash or just to accent the shadows?
Hi Luke,
I sprayed it all over but not so much that the base became wet. It’s basically a filter to darken and tint the colour all over.
Cheers,
Luther
Thanks Luther
