Mortifactors Primaris Captain

Welcome to my second (nearly) finished mini. He looks a bit odd in this photo as he has just been varnished.

This is the same mini as a previous blog post, it is a pick up off of eBay, and couldn't turn down the price for it.

Yes it was a resin recast, I wish it was the plastic one, but this will have to do (and a fraction of the price).

It was a joy to put together, and I opted for the helmet head (used the bare one on my Lieutenant) to mainly decide how to paint the laurels on the Mortifactors.

I tried some new techniques on this mini such as using Lahmian Medium as a varnish on the gold and chest of the captain and was quite happy to see it not dull down as much as Army Painter Matte does to the models I have done before.

I tried a new plasma effect, which worked out better than it had on my Ultramarines, but still will take some practice.

I have had more fun than I thought I would with painting the Mortifactors. It is a refreshing difference from the sea of blue (I still have so many Ultramarines to strip) and looks pretty cool to me.

Look forward to more pictures, and I can't wait to get the brush on the minis!
