Praetor Complete! One more to go for the Court

Since I was working on both at once, I had finished the Praetor, as well! This lad was a bit intimidating at first, but as I went along, got easier. Just as the rest, mixed brands of acrylics, ABT 502 oils, Villainy Ink enamels and spirits, as well as the usual Dirty Down effects. Did minimal kitbashing on this guy-added the heavy metal hair that I like to do for the uncanny look, plus a scraggly beard since Praetors are what happens when a devil mates with a hyena or jackal apparently. The model had taken some battle damage in the same incident that cost the Pit Locust one of his wings, so I had removed the rest of the sword and whipped up a scourge. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out!

The base was kind of inspired by the Paris Catacombs. 

Included are a couple of shots with a black background as well! (I will be getting an even better setup for pictures in the near future.) 

I definitely enjoyed this in the end and got to experiment with more colors-I really like Umbral Nightshade, and look forward to using it for some Undead stuff, too. 

Also recently got a box of Possessed and Chaos Chosen to kitbash into the Night Lords to make a sort of 'Corrupted Night Lords Kill Team', which will be very very black metal inspired as well. Some of those helmetless dudes are *definitely* getting corpsepainted. (No idea of what order I'm doing these in.) Also-also, I ordered up some Ionic paints to try them out; I heard they are quite saturated, and the Rotting Yellow and Rotting Flesh colors seemed to be up my alley(as did Frost Blue and Phthalo Blue, both of which I can utilize in ice stuffs.) Also grabbing some more ABT oils-I can certainly use Reddish Brown and Phthalo Green. They aren't due in until June, though. I kinda want to test out Bear Cavalry and P3, too. (I've also somehow fallen into Paint Experimenting mode, since I seem to be getting certain favorite colors of each brand now. It was only a matter of time. 

Anyway, I'll be back around with more stuff when I think of it or I get this Desecrated Saint done! (It's all primed and about to be drybrushed. Basecoats on the main body to start tomorrow, but he's got the big body rack that's getting done separately. Yeah, that bastard is a 2-parter.)

'Til next time!
