So, from the slapdash methods of painting Plague Marines, to the rather more detailed and precise painting of Blood Angels. My first task is to get this flamer-based Sternguard squad painted up, starting with their Veteran Sergeant.
I used a lot of the guidance notes from the Blood Angels Painting Guide to help with this chap, and I was met with a mixture of successes and... not failures, as such... but things, perhaps, that didn't quite offer the end product I was looking for.
Most notably the gold. Previously, I had just slapped on Vallejo Bright Brass (a lovely colour), but I thought I would try out the Balthasar Gold / Gehenna's Gold / Silver highlight combo. It came out a bit too orangey for my liking, but I shall persevere.
As with all Power Fist-wielding models, this chap comes across a bit 2nd Edition-y, but I can live with that. There is enough detail in the model to hold my interest.
