Armies on Parade is on October 24 so let’s see how the progress on the Shrine of Aquila is going.
I have all the base colours painted on now. I tried the Retributor Armour as a base for the gold and I loved it. My Grey knights and Adeptas Sororitas models have required a layer of Tin Bitz and three layers of Burnished Gold. I painted on one layer of Retributor Armour and one of Burnished Gold. If only the Retributor Armour spray was available in Canada. Sigh.
The lamps are Altdorf Guard blue with Mithril Silver trim. The pipes are based with Naggaroth Purple to change things up from the green. The skulls and skeletons are based with Rakarth Flesh.
I have to go over everything (except the green) with a wash, especially the gold. Then I will add some highlights. The gold highlights will be a mix of Burnished Gold and Mithril Silver. With the wash and highlights it does a good job of cooling down the gold. I have a couple of weeks to get this project done.
Enjoy
