Legion's Bobperialis

You’d think with earlier photo , this update would have come rapidly after the Knights update, but I had started the Warlord, and wanted to await its completion   plus last week my Xmas bug, went into overdrive, turning into a major chest infection,  so was limited on hobby time, as any attempt to do anything,  would result in increasingly worse coughing fits.

Anyway here they are

I think I mentioned before that originally created my own Legio Scheme House Mercia, which I wasn’t totally happy with, plus it was too close to how I was going to be doing my Raven Guard.

So I chose Legio Aturus, 1stly it was a legio that often worked with the Guard plus it had a very different Red and Cream Livery.

I’d already had success with the Red on  my Knights  , though wasn’t sure about the cream.

The basic part of the Paint Job followed that of the Knights, on both models the raised nature of the detail aided in making the base colours fairly easy.

The main work on these was the Cream. Now the official artwork showed it a stained effect and I wanted to emulate that as best I could.

1) So I gave those a base coat of GW Wraithbone base paint,

2) when it had dried I went over the central areas with an MP paints Cream, which was slightly lighter.

3) I then gave areas a thinned out Gw Sepia wash.

4) I then went around the edges where any detail was again this time with undiluted Sepia, to shade and stain the edges, plus on the Warlord odd splodges for staining ( Think GW suggests using Agrax Earthshade,  but I’d seen some Aussie Group on YouTube use above method on the official buildings and thought I’d try it.
