The Horus Hersey - The Primarchs

Not a lot of work on this project recently, however yesterday did see me start to paint Rogal Dorn “The Vigilant”,” the “Praetorian of Terra” and the “Unyielding One” and the nickname that is constantly overlooked, “Konrad Curze’s scratching post”.

Boy does this fella like gold!

So with that in mind here is what we have done so far…

Armour

Retributor Gold (shade) Druchii Violet > *highlight* Retributor Gold ^Dry^ Liberator Gold

Considering another watered down shade of Druchii in some spots where I think the dry brushing has gone too far.

The gems

Rogal has a few very prominent gem stones on his belt and leg guards. For these I dotted them with ceramite white, and then used a very old GW ink to give them that shiny feel. Red & Sky Blue.

Cloak

Mephiston Red (shade) Druchii Violet

Sword

Mephiston Red (Shade) Nuln Oil Gloss (Shade) GW Red Ink

Metal work on the sword

Retributor Armour (Shade) Reikland Fleshshade

Hair

Ceramite White (Shade) watered down Drakehnhof Nightshade *Highlight* Ceramite White *Highlight* White Scar

Face

Bugman’s Glow (shade) Reikland Flesh shade *Highlight* Cadian Fleshtone *Highlight* Kislev Flesh (Shade) watered down Reikland Flesh Shade

More too do here…..

Right, Dorn is almost complete, still a few bits and bobs to do around his sword handle and some of tiding up.

Cloak

Mephiston Red (shade) Druchii Violet *Highlight* Mephiston Red

Emblem on Cloak

Retributor Armour (shade) Reikland Flesh Shade

Still debating whether or not to give him a wash with something, as the dry brushing and highlighting on his armour have made it look a bit flat in the light of day.

I have already moved onto another Primarch, so I will sit on this for a bit until I decide.

Who am I painting next you wonder? That’s a secret for now.

It’s Perturabo.
