Painting Armiger Helverins for my Ultramarines
Start Basing
In parallel, I was working on the base where I glued some cork and gave it two coats with Vallejo Scarlet Red. Especially the cork needed the second coat of color. After that, I glued the model on top and all the parts together. Especially gluing the model to its base now is an important step, as it will adhere better on the base as it will on the effect color I will be using later.
It looks very impressive already, but I am not done yet. Details will be applied next starting wit Vallejo Brassy Brass on all the rims, followed by Vallejo Khaki on the Skulls. Pick out any other detail you like to get painted differently in this step. I also gave the skulls a shade of Citadel Agrax Earthshade.
With all the modell in one piece now and glued down to its base, I started applying Citadel Martian Ironearth. Remember to apply this very thick to get this nice effect of crackled martian earth. When the base has tried (I gave it about 12hrs), I applied a drybrush of Vallejo Elf Skintone to highlight the details and cracks on the base.
