Decadent_puppeteer's Commission Plog - Vol' 3: 'Draigo'wing

[Decadent_Puppeteer]

I have been given the models to make an army focussed around the Grey Knight Special character Kaldor Draigo (I think I've got his name right).

Here are the models:



Draigo, a Librarian, two Dreadknights, ten Terminators (some unassembled) a Land Raider and a Vindicare Assassin (not pictured).

The client has given me complete freedom on the colours. Everything apart from the characters is to be done to the Horde Standard (see link in sig' for details on Standards) but with a bit of extra work on the banner and force weapons. The characters are to be painted to the Elite Standard. Also, he has requested that I paint up some makeshift servo-skulls and objective markers from the spare bits off of the sprues.

To begin with I have painted the gold bits on Draigo using a 3:1 mix of Shining Gold and Blood Red:

Gold's looking good mate, looking forward to seeing some silver on Draigo, seen your commission work before, some high hopes for this
keep it up

[Decadent_Puppeteer]

@sartarius: Thanks! I've gone for a slightly different colourscheme than the norm...

Early stages of Draigo:




Shouldn't be too long before he's finished now...





What do people think of the colours so far?

Comments and constructive criticism is welcome

That Draigo looks awesome! Quick thing, though: Why is there no text on his scroll-bits? It makes the rest of the paintjob seem less good.

[Decadent_Puppeteer]

@Hideous Loon: That's a good point and one that I didn't really think about. I will now add more writing as it makes sense now that you've pointed it out to me!

[Decadent_Puppeteer]

A small update. I have almost finished the first five terminators:








I've also made a video tutorial with details on the colourscheme. It's in two parts as it takes a while to upload videos with my steam powered laptop It can be found here:

Please comment to let me know what you think, especially if you have something constructive to add about the video. I want the videos to be useful and worthwhile; your feedback will help with that. If you enjoyed the video and/or found it interesting then please subscribe as it will encourage me to make more!

Finished Paladins! (Sry about the poor picture quality!)








I've started the Librarian now too:

[Decadent_Puppeteer]

Big update today! The Librarian is finished:






All I need to do is finish the basing and then he's done! He's received essentially the same paintjob as Draigo.

Here was all that was left yesterday (Including the Assassin that wasn't pictured first time!):




Close up of the WIP Paladins:




Group shots of everything completed so far:







Apologies for the poor picture quality in some places.
Only a couple of finishing touches to add to Draigo and the banner now, and in the meantime it's on to the Dreadknights!

Quick update of the WIP Dreadknights:

Everthing's finished!

Here are the Dreadknights:






Assassin:




Servo Skulls:




Land Raider and objective markers:






Army shot!




The Land Raider is a bit plainer than the rest of the minis but Ive delivered the models to the client and he is very happy, so all is well.

I'm pleased with how the army has come together; please leave a comment if you like what you see and stay tuned for a descent into Chaos...
