Captain Junius Tiberius of the Ultramarines 4th Company

Finally i am done the first model of my army...Behold; Captian Junius Tiberius, Master of the Fleet and Captain of the 4th Company, the aptly named "Defenders of Ultramar". I have spent several hours of work and the photograph doesn't do it justice (note to self... buy a new camera!) Here is how i panted him:

Armour: I primed black and I started on the armour basecoat of Mordian Blue (foundation paint), I but several watered down layers on all the "blue parts". Then i applied Ultramarine Blue over the base coat, after which i started on the face...i didn't want to highlight anything quite yet.

Face:The Face was pretty straight forward and came out very well. Scorched Brown Base coat, followed by Tanned Flesh secondary base coat. Next, I had a mix of Tanned Flesh and Dwarf Flesh, and applied it too the raised areas. Then i took watered down Tallarn Flesh and applied it to the raised areas again. (I left the scar alone!). A decided that i wanted the under parts to stand out so i applied a Liche Purple wash to the jaw area. For the Scar and the jaw I mixed some Blood Red (20%), Liche Purple (30%) and Tallarn Flesh (50%) this came out fairly well.

Cloth and Seals: This was my absolutely favorite part! Scorched Brown base coat followed by a 1:1 mix of Scorched Brown and Graveyard Earth (over several watered down layers). Then I applied Desert Yellow (i mixed it with Graveyard Earth and played around for a few layers). The next part was a gradual layering of Desert Yellow and Kommando Khaki until it was pure Khaki. Then I preformed the same layering with Khaki and Bleached Bone. I used Mechrite Red for the seals themselves.

Cape: I cried... well almost, The longest and most tedious matter at hand. I wasn't going to let this part 'brush' me aside. Well this might not seem like much but what i did was a mix of Blood Red and Skull White (1:4) and watered it down and just went at it for a base coat. Gradually i was able to get a pure Blood Red, but the fun didn't stop there, I Highlighted all the folds with Macharius Solar Orange and blood red (1:3) (what a name). I was really happy with the results but if i didn't have to paint red again it would be too soon.

Hair: Scorched Brown base coat followed by a Iyanden Dark Sun and Bestial Brown (1:3) finish.

Gems: Blood Red with Gemmy highlights.

Gold: I use a Game Color Gold mixed with Bestial Brown, then i Ink it with Brown ink then i take the gold, pure gold, and i do some touch ups. Inking again if i have to.

Metal: Boltgun Metal base coat and a Chainmail finish.

Trim: easy, Knarloc Green that's it. now beat it.

FLUFF: The year was M41.999 when Uriel Ventress was exiled from the chapter and he went on his Daemon-bound adventure. Enter Junius Tiberius; descendant of Lord Admiral Lazlo Tiberius, and a Sargent of a 4th company Tactical squad. Junius caught the eye of both Cato Sicarius and Marnius Calgar on Medusa V and the Tau-Occupied Durance.Now armed with a Powersword, Bolter, and the 4th company, Tiberius protects the Segmentum Ultra from alien and heretic alike.
