A step by step guide on how I painted a Blood Angels Intercessor.
- Undercoat the model with Chaos Black
RED POWER ARMOUR
- Basecoat the the armour of the model with Mephiston Red
- Shade the red armour with a 3:1 mixture of Abaddon Black & Mephiston Red
- Edge highlight the armour with Evil Sunz Scarlet
- Apply a second edge highlight to the sharpest points of the armour with Wild Rider Red - This step is optional, I would use this mainly for Character models.
UNDER-SUIT & GUN CASING
- Basecoat the areas of the model you want to be black with Abaddon Black
- Edge highlight the undersuit/gun casing & any other areas which are black on the model with Eshin Grey
- Apply a second edge highlight of Dawnstone - This step is optional, I would use this mainly for Character models.
METALS/METALICS
- Basecoat the metal areas on the model with Leadbelcher
- Basecoat the areas you want to be gold with Retributor Armour
- Shade the silver & gold metals/metallics with Nuln Oil
- Edge highlight the gold metallics with Auric Armour Gold
- Edge highlight the silver metallics with Stormhost Silver
WINGS & AQUILA
- Basecoat the wings & aquila with Ulthuan Grey
- Shade the wings & aquila with Nuln Oil
- Edge highlight the wings/aquila with White Scar
PURITY SEALS
- Basecoat the wax of the purity seal with Screamer Pink
- Basecoat the parchment of the purity seal with Zandri Dust
- Shade all of the purity seal with Agrax Earthshade
- Edge highlight the wax of the purity seal with Pink Horror
- Edge highlight the parchment of the purity seal with Ushabti Bone
GEMS/STONES
- Basecoat the gems on the model with Warpstone Glow
- Edge highlight the bottom of the gem with Moot Green Also apply a dot of this colour to one of the sides of the gem in the light.
EYES/LENSES
- Basecoat the eyes with Ulthuan Grey
- Apply Waywatcher Green to the eyes, don't worry if it over spills slightly as this can enhance the glow affect. Once this is dry you can then apply a second coat of Waywatcher Green
BASING
- Apply Astrogranite Debris to the base of the model.
- Wash the base with Agrax Earthshade
- Drybrush the base with Tyrant Skull
- Apply Valhallan Blizzard to a majority of the base to create the snow texture.
- Lastly paint the rim of the base with Dawnstone
