Finally had some time to get started on this beautiful model - I think it's very visually impressive, and it is probably my favourite current Chaos model (apart from maybe the Demon Prince, for pure customisation options). I decided to go for a dark green colour scheme for the torso, with silvery/bronze colours for the armour and some dark red plating here and there as a spot colour. In this post I will show you what I have done so far and what steps I took to get there. The torso isn't quite finished, I haven't done the face, the bone or the metal on it, but I am pretty happy with how the actual flesh has turned out.
First I basecoated the model in Chaos Black, and all the mechanical components got a layer of Boltgun Metal. I followed this with two slightly thined coats of Orkhide Shade from the foundation range, to give me a dark green base on the flesh.

After the Orkhide Shade and Boltgun basecoats - it just means
that the recesses will actually be a very dark green instead of pure black, which
I find does help it look better in the long run - black often looks too unnatural for me. |
