That's a beautifully gritty looking Initiate. Where did you get that helmet?

Very nicely done! Perhaps the shoulder pad could do with a cheeky matte varnish though, just so as to take the shine off the decal?

Yea good call, the whole thing still needs to be hit with a matte/satin varnish

I love your off white on the shoulders, it looks very weathered. Great looking mini!

Looks so good! What did you use for your shoulder pads?

They are just some third party decals I found by Ginfritters Gnomish workshop

Amazing I’ll have to Google them! What about for paints and shades?

So the main armor is vallejo black->eshin grey->dawnstone , the sholder pads are bleached bone->pallid wych flesh. In terms of shades the biggest trick is using oil washes, a black wash for metallics +A pin wash of the armor and using a brown oil wash to grime up the shoulder pads

This is awesome! Brown wash makes sense! I gotta get me some. What kind do you use?

Love it! What's your process on that base? That orange-red tone really pops against all the black.

Thanks, yea I really love how the vibrant base contrasts with the black.
To the base is just a combination of GW Martian ironearth & Martian ironcrust over a dark red-brown base coat. After that is dry I applied a bit of pigment powder to the base and boots etc of the mini
