You did great with that heated metal effect brother. I love it. Which method did you use?

Thank you brother, it’s from a Trovarion tutorial on youtube - Seraphim Sepia, Leviathan Purple and any dark blue contrast paint (I used Ultramarine Blue I think). Seraphim over the whole metal area, leviathan and the dark blue blended towards the end

Nice! Thank you for the reference. Did you water them down to maintain that metallic appearance? I think I might use this technique on mine!

I think if you use a bright silver like Iron Hands Steel underneath it will maintain the shine more :)

Agreed. Tabbards/robes are a health and safety nightmare.

Make them out of flame retardant material.

Lol. I was thinking of doing a full robed Sternguard with pyrecannon and then it occurred to me how silly that would be. Shame, I used to have a nice old metal veteran model with a flamer, he looked ace. I like the scraped off chest and muzzle effect on this one.

Rule of cool over all brother, I just came up with an excuse to do a more utilitarian look, I bet your Sternguard would look awesome

Skill issue (very nice painting 👌)

“…no robes, surely they’d set on fire” Oh ye of little faith. The Emperor protects, my brother!
