As the Emperor Wills

After just scraping under the line and getting my Centurion Assault Squad done by the end of February, I decided to change tack with March and do a character, rather than a unit and something that wasn't Sapce Marines. However, because all I had left primed were Adepta Sororitas, the only option was my Hospitaller (not that it is a consolation prize because, upon realising it was next, it found myself eager to begin on it). Already primed with Chaos Black, I decided to start with a drybrush of Dark Reaper. However, not owning Dark Reaper, I endeavoured to make my own, using equal parts Abaddon Black and Caledor Sky along with a bit of Celestra Grey. The result turned out well, although after applying, it didn't seem to do the job I wanted from it.

My Centurion Assault Squad have been sitting and waiting for their time for a while. This is mainly out of fear that I wouldn't manage to get them to a quality I wanted for them. It was also because they took a while to prepare, applying magnets so that they can be modified. However, after a Macragge Blue Primer and some other projects catching my eye first, I finally made it round to them. My technique here was much the same as with the Vets. A cover of Macragge (for anything the Primer missed) followed by a wash of Nuln Oil which focused on the armour only (not the weapons). After that dried, I applied a drybrush coat of Macragge Blue followed by a lighter drybrush coat of Calgar Blue. Then, I moved onto the rest of the paints, applying them as follows: Black  - Abaddon Black (B), Eshin Grey(h), Dawnstone (...
