Dark Angels - The Lion

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on The Lion. I've been working on him intermittently with the base part way done, just the broken tiles and Blessed Verdigris on the statuary. The Watchers have been shaded too.

Shade washes on the cloak. This is the outer cloak, inside and out.

The Lion himself, I was not happy with the shade wash here, but reminded myself it's far from finished and I'll be covering most of this up anyway.

I finally gave up on having the cloak on sprue. I realised I could paint it just as well and occasionally dry fit it in place. I want to be able to make use of some of the shading. There's no point putting highlight in where it will be in shadow.

So, having that option to make informed decisions, rather than guess really helps. I've also added  in the colours for the lion pelt and did the first set of highlights on the red cloak.

I was also working on the Ironsoul's Condemnors at the time so I got a good refresher on red fabric. Hopefully I can pull of the same on a much bigger surface area. I also tidied up all the black. So, I'm flitting to something else next, which will probably delay any further updates. Where I can I'll make a little bit of progress here and there. It's much better than it was, I just need to reach that tipping point where all I can think about is finishing it off.
