Daemon Prince

I have finished my plastic Daemon Prince model. The kit is great and goes together easily despite having a large variety of interchangable bits. I assembled and painted it so it could lead my Illuminati Chaos Space Marines as well as a 40K daemon army.

The purple areas were base painted in Citadel Liche Purple and highlighted with a Liche Purple-Elf Flesh mix. They were edged in Cote d'Arms Shocking Pink. The metal was base-coated in Citadel Tin Bitz and highlighted with layers of dilute Shining Gold. Edging was done with a Citadel Shining Gold/Gold mix. The model was washed with a Liche Purple/Leviathan Purple mix.

The base was base-coated in Citadel Scorched Earth and highlighted in Revell Terracota/Ferrari Red mix. The liquid flow (it's blood, I tell you)was made by dripping a variety of purple, yellow and red paints into Citadel green wash. It was coated in a generous cover of Citadel gloss varnish to give a wet look.

I used the painting guide in the current White Dwarf but simplified it. My experience is that a mundane painter, such as myself, ends up with a bloody mess if they try to paint with the detail of a professional commercial artist, so I simplify. I did got to town on the face, using a Revell Ferrari Red/Citadel red wash mix.
