Painting Space Marines Captain Lysander of Imperial Fists

I painted the whole mini with the base color ? this time it was a mix of Vallejo Game Color Sunblast Yellow and Vallejo Model Color Yellow Ochre (1:1). It took about two layers to get good and smooth coverage. I added some Vallejo Model Color German Camo Black-Brown to the mix, and the color became a bit greyish. I thinned it down and applied it to the parts which I wanted to be shaded. I also outlined most of the details with this color.

I painted the blue parts with Vallejo Game Color Ultramarine Blue, and applied some initial shading with the color which I created by mixing Ultramarine Blue with Black and thinning the paint a lot. I also basecoated the red parts with Vallejo Game Color Red Gore, and the black ones ? with Black. I washed the red parts with a thinned mix of Vallejo Smoke and Black. I cleaned the reds with another coat of Gory Red, but left the shading visible.

Then I added the metallics ? they were generally all painted with Vallejo Game Color Gunmetal, then highlighted with a mix of Gunmetal Metal + Chainmail Silver, and then finally Chainmail Silver. I washed and glazed the metallics with several coats of thinned down transparent paints and inks ? green, purple, smoke, black, blue, and orange ? in random order... Sometimes I cleaned some of the metal with the metallic colors used before, and finally picked the edges with Chianmail Silver.

The base was painted about the same way, just more layers of washes and glazes wera added. I also painted the slime inside of the hole with Vallejo Game Color Scorpy Green, and added several coats of glossy varnish to make the slime look more liquid.
