The last of my Dark Angels is our Lion Daddy himself, Lion El'Jonson.
This is a stunning miniature and I took my time to paint him up.
I decided to go with the hooded head that I think looks the best of the options.
I used a black undercoat with a light green dry brush followed by Vallejo green speed paint for the power armour. The same light green was used for further edge highlights.
The red on the cloak/ cape used the same approach with evil suns scarlet over a black undercoat and then slaughter red speed paint. Highlights followed again with the evil suns scarlet. This is my favourite painted part of the mini and will be copied on future minis.
The gold trim used old gold Vallejo and golden armour speed paint followed by runefang steel edge highlights.
The other parts of the miniature followed the above approach with the drybrush base colour followed by complimentary speed paints.
The base used astrongranite and cork as more strategic rocks. Painting used vallejo earth, beasty brown, leather brown with ivory tusk to finish off. The rocks were painted black with some of the ground cover paint used to highlight.
I am very happy with his finish and look forward to getting him on the battlefield.
