Blood Ravens - Terminator Captain - My First 40k Mini


So this fella was my first ever Warhammer 40,000 miniature that I finished! He took approximately 10 hours to paint.
This chap is completely magnetised on both arms, so that he can take a multitude of Terminator wargear to make him more adaptable to different game situations.

Painting process:

  1. Undercoat with Grey Primer (Alternatively use Citadel Mephiston Red spray)
  2. Armour base coat in Mephiston Red (not necessary if sprayed red)
  3. Base colour all viable areas Abaddon Black (Cloak, knee pad - for 5th Company, Storm Bolter)
  4. Base colour all viable areas Leadbelcher (Power Sword, Storm Bolter, Armour features) - optional: paint the power sword red so that lettering appears through silver, use side of the brush to paint on silver so it doesn't end up in lettering recesses
  5. Base colour all viable areas Balthazar Gold (Armour details, Power Sword hilt)
  6. Layer colour armour Evil Sunz Scarlet, leaving recesses 
  7. Edge highlight armour Wild Rider Red
  8. Layer colour Leadbelcher areas Runefang Steel, leaving recesses
  9. Edge highlight Abaddon Black features with either Eshin Grey (dark) or Dawnstone *as in picture* (light)
  10. Wash entire model with Nuln Oil shade
  11. Layer paint Screaming Skull until opaque on shoulder pads *thinning the paint with either water or medium will keep the area smooth*
  12. Drybrush black areas Dawnstone - VERY LIGHTLY
  13. Base colour lanyards / ropes Zandri Dust
  14. Layer paint lanyards / ropes Ushabti Bone
  15. Wash lanyards / ropes with Seraphim Sepia and a light wash of Agrax Earthshade
  16. Final weathering - Drybrush Terminatus Stone, then drybrush over that with Zandri Dust to change the hue
