Painting him was pretty simple. The armor was based with Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue and highlighted up by adding in Citadel Fenris Grey. The cracks were shaded with Tamiya Panel Line Black Wash, which is in enamel wash so it flows into the cracks perfectly. It also has a brush built in to the cap, so you don't have to get white spirits out for cleanup.


One thing you don't see often, and I really wanted here, is a dirty Ultramarine. Too often, they are perfectly clean and polished. I sponged some primer red around his legs, but most got covered with all the mud! I applied copious amounts of mud pigments to his feet and painted the bases the same way as my plague marines, except with dark brown colors. I also gave him a five o'clock shadow and painted the top of him with AK Interactive Rainmarks to simulate dust and dirt collecting on his armor in the field.
