Supreme Grand Master Azrael

 I finally got my hands on an Azrael miniature for my Dark Angels.

As a member of the Deathwing I decided to invert the usual painting approach of Azrael of his dark green armour and white/bone cloak. 

The deathwing paint job of the armour went with more of a bone colour rather than pure white similar to my Sternguard Veterans.

The banner was pretty tricky to paint and I also inverted the usual colour approach with this and made it primarily a bone white colour with gold trim.

I kept the colour selection limited and really liked how the red came out on the lower cloak using a base of white, red speed paint and then mephiston red to highlight.

The sword of secrets had a gun metal speed paint with a white highlight followed by light blue speed paint in some of the areas. I left some of the white highlights to give off a pretty cool combined look for a plasma sword.

The base had a mix of rocks, grass tuffs and some barbed wire for something different.

Despite the mini being from a less reputable source I am happy with the finish.

Deathwing Centurion Devastator Squad

After making my Primaris Assault Centurion squad I wanted to also have a squad of the Devastator Centurions.

I chose the lascannon fit out as after all these years it’s still my favourite heavy weapon.

I used the same approach to build as detailed in my how to post that was a pretty easy way to increase the size of the bros up to primaris size. I made the sarge a little taller than the other bros and used the Mohawk bit from the original kit.

All the heads are from the primaris lieutenant kit.

Painting followed my Sternguard Veterans approach which had more of a bone white colour. Finishing off was a heap of transfers and the bases using old bark as rocks and astrogranite textured paint.

Here is a size comparison next to a primaris marine.
