Happy New Year

Well it's that time of year when we make resolutions and mine is to try and be more productive. I got a couple of models amongst my Christmas goodies. First up is Pedro Kantor. I've always liked this miniature and am hoping that I'll be able to do it some justice.

I initially undercoated it with Vallejo Game Colour Night Blue, to which I added just a touch of GW Chaos Black to try and get that really dull dark blue that the Crimson Fists have.

The Power Fist was basecoated with a mixture of GW Blood Red and Scab Red. Personally I don't like the 'shiny' paint schemes that a lot of SM Chapters seem to have and prefer darker, more matt schemes. What I'm hoping to get at the end of this is a realistic colour scheme that doesn't look to cartoonish.

Anyway, enough of my drivel, here's some pics.
