Space Marine in Artificer Armour 4

Painted 5th April 2023:
- Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha black
- Blue: Scale75 Artist Cobalt Blue, highlighted with that + Pro Acryl Titanium White, shaded with that + Scale75 Art Prussian Blue, further shading with Art Black
- Black: Art Black, highlighted with Titanium White + Art Black
- Copper for Armiger head: Decayed Metal, then Victorian Brass, then Amber Alchemy, then Moonstone Alchemy, then Dirty Down Verdigris
- Rim: Vallejo Black Grey
- Base: Martian Ironearth on left, PVA glue and ballast on right. Red Ochre mixed with Art Black for the base colour, then Reddish Brown pigment, then Natural Soil, then Sand, a little bit of Gypsum on the rock, a little bit of Ash on the Armiger face to try and get a bit of separation. Wild Grass tuft for behind.
- Red: Pro Acryl Bold Pyrrole Red, then Primary Red, shaded with Burnt Sienna Umber, further shaded with Art Black. Very slight highlight of Primary Yellow.
- Armiger lens: Primary Yellow, shaded with Crimson, shaded with Art Black
- Lens: Scale75 Art Sap Green, highlighted with that + Primary Yellow, a little bit of a further highlight with Titanium White mixed in. ‘Ardcoat to finish.
This has to be one of the paintjobs I am still most proud of years later – the face under the visor was a spur of the moment decision which came off far better than I could have expected.
