Necropolis hawks avenging

So I’ve begun the project with a test model, which is always the best place to start, in this case one of the easy to build primaris helblasters from the old boxset!

After assembly I primed him in army painter wolf grey. I then gave him three light coats of a wash of army painter blue tone and dark tone mixed together in 50.50 proportions.

Once that was dry I gave him a drybrush of wolf grey, followed by a glaze of blue tone. Then I edge highlighted his blue armour with wolf grey.

I then proceeded onto the white parts of the armour for this I basecoated uniform gray, layered ash Gray, edge highlighted a 50/50 mix of ash grey and white. I then used GW contrast apothecary white in the gaps and crevices. Before finally i edge highlighted matt white or layered it on large flat surfaces like shoulderpads.

I then picked out all the yellow parts in two layers of thinned down daemonic yellow. I the  did all the black parts of the armour with a single basecoat of matt black followed by a layer of necromancer cloak, and for the shoulder icon edge highlights of uniform gray.

I then did the blue plasma glow, first by layering white twice, then a wash of blue tone, then a layer of crystal blue, the troglodyte blue, then voidshield blue, before finally drybrushing in matt white on the centre of the coils.

I then layered on oak brown on the leather parts before giving it a strong tone wash.

I then hand painted the Gothic numerals and battlefield role insignias. The eyes were layered dragon red. Then lava orange, then had two white dots of matt white applied.

The basing was first basecoated in uniform gray, then painted with gw astrogranite texture paint. Once dry I drybrushed it with uniform grey, then applied army painter snow, before letting that dry and then applying fine snow from woodland scenics.

The edge of the base was then painted in matt black and finally the model given thin coats of matt varnish.
