Here's a few wip shots I took yesterday. I have just the base and plasma to go.
Went with a darker gritty look on this one

Out of curiosity, how do you do the blue? I've been looking for a good method for dark blue

He looks more like a Crimson Fist than an Ultramarine!

Great work though, the wear on the powerfist is brilliant.

Ever so slightly lighter than the CFs. I tried to some Crimson Fists and they always came out to light.lol ironic that my ultramarines come out to dark.

It's the dark cloak that really makes me think CF's!

Seriously good work though, and I am sure if you ever fancy it you could paint up a Pedro and use these models as a CF army!

I was pretty happy with the cloak. I started off with a mix of red and brown and went up to a light red. Wanted that leather/heavy fabric look.
The armour does look really dark on the lower greaves I have blended some dirt to the lower half of the model.
Looks dark on the pics too think I need to adjust the camera settings.

Very nice, great colour tones and nicely put together.
