As you might have noticed, I'm a sucker for big Starter Boxes, but unfortunately most of them just land on my pile of opportunity and wait for the right moment. Since I've heard of the incoming 3rd edition of Horus Heresy I knew that I want Saturnine and that I'll paint the contents as Iron Warriors. So today I present to you my idea for the scheme. Keep your fingers crossed that my FLGS manages to snatch me a copy of the box (hopefully I asked them to do so early enough).
The Model
The model here is a 3d print from a creator that was nuked by GW. I kitbashed it from a couple of their sets. The only thing that didn't print ideally is the backpack, but I think I just had the version before the supports were fixed.
The Scheme
- Black primer
- Overbrush with Heavy Metal
- Drybrush with Iron Hands Steel
- Ironclad Grey for the elements that we want to be black
- Sunburst Ochre for the elements that will be yellow
- Averland Sunset for the yellow elements
- A liberal coat of Streaking Grime -> removing the excess
- White for the visor
- Bloodmoon Red for the visor
- Satin Varnish
- Light Drybrush with Iron Hands Steel
- Base: Dark Earth + Brown Tone + Leather Brown + Camo Sand
It's possible that I'll refine the scheme a bit in the future, like adding some edge highlights to the black areas with another dark grey. And I really have to get better at painting Hazard Stripes. Still, I'm super stoked with how my first time with reductive techniques turned out!
