Got the new Dante model for my Blood Angels army!
Assembled using Revell Contacta glue.
Base-coated using Citadel Paints: Leadbelcher for the armour, Mephiston Red for the robe, right shoulder pad and axe handle, Abaddon Black for Inferno pistol, wreath, seal parchments and base elements.
Major paint work: Castellan Bronze for armour and some details; White Scar for seals (parchment, Mephiston Red for actual seal itself); Leadbelcher for Axe Mortalis blade and some details; Abaddon Black and Leadbelcher (50/50 mix to create a gunmetal grey type colour) for wing details; Mephiston Red for blood drops; Dark Reaper, Kislev Flesh and White Scar (equal amounts to create a light olive colour) for wreath. Used Baharroth Blue for Axe Mortalis power coil and nodes.
Still long way to do - have to paint the base elements and then have to wash and highlight and add a few details and touchups.

UPDATE
---
Base elements painted, skulls (Tyranid and human) added and Armageddon Dust used to texture the base.
Base elements painted using a mixture of Fenrisian Grey, Kislev Flesh and White Scar (to create a greyish marble). Added Tesseract Glow to the Baharroth Blue on the Axe Mortalis (as well as the lens of the Astartes helmet on the ground). Mephiston Red for the helmet and White Scar for the skulls.

UPDATE
---
Base elements washed with Agrax Earthshade. Scrollwork, purity seals and wreath also washed with Agrax Earthshade. Blood drop painted on backpack (had forgotten previously!) using Mephiston Red.

And finished!
A few bits touched up, some highlighting on the base elements using White Scar and Kislev Flesh and some darkening of shadowed areas on the main model using Agrax Earthshade. Applied Tesseract Glow to the jump pack and also reapplied onto power elements on the Axe Mortalis.
This is more I could do, but I feel this is the best I am going to achieve and if I try anything else, I'll just ruin it. Pretty happy with it, to be fair. Really enjoyed working on this model - probably my favourite ever so far!
