Wolf Guard Terminator - WIP 6

Armour finished...
...probably...













I spent quite a while this evening adding blended shadows and highlights onto the armour.  I'm fairly happy with the transitions, even though in the photos I can see a couple of bits I seem to have missed, but it all seems a bit too subtle.

Until I see it again in daylight it will be difficult to make a judgement call but I had enough energy left to put a quick base coat down for the metallics.

Armour shadow:

VMA Black Grey with increasing amounts of Citadel Black undercoat (it's the only black I had left) added on each successive coat. There were 4 to 5 coats in total until the last one was almost black.  Very (very) dilute mix applied to recesses and shadow areas as a kind of glaze to try and get a smooth transition.

Armour highlight:

VMA Black Grey with increasing amounts of VMA light grey.  Applied as above but to raised areas and 'top-lit' parts of the mini.

Metallic:

Boltgun metal with a couple of drops of Badab Black and a blob of black undercoat (plus a 3 or 4 drops of water)

So we're getting there slowly.  Next step will be the right shoulder pad and the stone areas + shading and highlighting the metallics.
