New painter attempts to not ruin the Indomitus Space Marines
Working on the rest of the squad
So I finished the other seven assault Intercessors. I chose to stick with the contrast Snakebite Leather. Other than that I’ve made few changes, mostly choosing to make the entire gauntlet and central chest piece gold. I like the way to pops compared to the dark green. I also took it easier on the “battle damage” making the marks smaller and less often.
I’m about 90% done with the Sergeant but I haven’t done his exposed head yet still trying to find a skin color I don’t hate. He’ll get his own entry when I finish him.
For the skin on the Sergeant I would highly recommend the Contrast paints over Grey Seer or Wraithbone. I have used them over Rakarth Flesh before and it was alight, but the lighter tones work better. For Caucasian skin I’ve taken to using Darkoath Flesh, but for more African tones Wyldwood is very nice. I haven’t tested the theory, yet, but I think that Darkoath or Guilliman Flesh over, say Zandri Dust might work well for Arabic or Indian tones.
