Blood Raven Primaris Chaplain

2 year old Christmas Present I finally got around too.  Contrast with Highlights.  And the result:

Blood Raven Primaris Apothecary

Ok... For the most part - contrast paints are awesome!  But for the Apothecary white, I had to re-layer with Ulthuan Grey (used the pre-mixed Ulthuan Grey Air) to prevent the highlights from being so damn STARK!  I heavy applied the Apothecary white previously, so it had a medium grey all over the model.  Other then that, standard highlighting and glazes.  Little Blood for the Blood God for small accents.  Not too bad for ~6 hours of work.

Finished Product:

Blood Raven Primaris Lieutenant (Sergeant Jovan Limited Edition)

So lucked out and was able to score this model.  Worked overtime to make him pop in BR color scheme.  Going through all the primaris commanders I've been collecting and he is the first of the line.  I bring you Lieutenant Jovan...

Funko Pop Blood Raven Primaris Lieutenant

So,  This WAS an Ultramarine Intercessor, but inspired from Miniac's take on the model (he also had the unpainted one...) - Did the paint scheme in my version of the lieutenant. And my end product:

Prepping and painting the new primaris anniversary model - pics to come soon...

Blood Raven Tactical Marine Overhaul results

Okay!  Even with contrast paints and having a plan - life gets in the way like normal.  Also, doing anything in groups of more than 10 models at a go is a still a challenge for me.  Still, the results speak for themselves...

NOTE:  Used the Dollar Store's "LA's totally awesome" - had them soak for 3 days, did an initial scrub and then let them sit for an additional 2 days to eat the rest of the paint.  Doesn't harm plastic models - but tends to not always be strong enough to eat off GW's primers.  But - getting almost all the gunk off and not harming plastic - it's something unlike Simple green.

The rabble is now done!

Old Sergeant and new look.

Blood Raven Primaris Aggressors with Flamestorm gauntlets

Continuing with the large stock of unpainted Primaris Space marines.  Next up was the Aggressors.  I made these flamestorm variants before reading the forums for the boltstorms and frag launcher set-up...  Oh well, split milk - but still since they occupy an elite slot - I did gold pauldrons and bone helmets.  Here is the finished results:

Working on another batch of these guys, along with Angelos, and the killteam Admechs...  More to come.

Blood Raven Primaris Reivers with Bolt Carbines with Contrast Paints

So, I LOVE contrast paints.  Base coat, layer, shade, and layer again - minor highlights...  ALL WITH 1 COAT!  I was able to get these guys done in 2 days - but as usual, I get sidetracked...  Mainly small touch ups, re-hi-lighting to make it pop, the transfers/decals, and the script work too the most amount of time.  Here are the results...
