The Horus Hersey - The Primarchs
Lion El'Jonson
So, as we approach the final straight for Forgeworld Primarchs, I have finally started work on the Lion.
I watched a few videos on The Youtube and one guy who paints largely in Contrast (the Warhipster) came up with a nice technique for the armour.
So here it is:
Armour
Undercoated with Corax White – Then basilicanum grey contrast – the black templar contrast. That gives us actually a nice finish.
The trim
Iron Hands steel mixed with Runelord Brass on the thin metal banding. I have then washed it with Reikland Fleshshade.
The larger trim is Leadbelcher with nuln oil then leadbelcaher again with a highlight of storm host silver
Gold
Standard on most of it, Retributor Armour, Reikland Fleshshade, then liberator Gold.
The design on his tabard with added an extra layer of Auric Armour Gold
The tarbard
Corax White – Apothecary White – Corax White – White Scar
Leather Belt
Mournfang Brown – Nuln Oil
Eagle and Sword
Blood Angels Red Contrast
Design on the Tabard
So far just warpstone green
Head
Gulliman Flesh – Cadian Flesh Tone – Kislev Flesh
Mouth Volpus Pink Contrast
Hair
Screaming Skull – Seraphim Sepia – Screaming Skull Dry Brush
Base
Zandri Dust – Agrax Earthshade
A bit more work on the Lion.
Now with cape.
The insider was rakarth flesh with skeleton horde.
The outside was Warpstone Glow, Bei Tel Green, warpstone glow, and moot green.
I then ran a very watered down Caliban green over the top of it.
