@Ice - Its a very nice base, but they did screw the pooch on one bit, if you glue the bigger base bits down, you can't get the smaller base out. Sadly Fulgrim doesn't come with multiple arm choices, he just gets the laer blade.

@Daxx - I personally wont get any (too expensive) but if anyone wants me to paint their ones I would be happy to

@Vent - Thanks man, loved your Tyberos model btw

Update: Started the assembly of Fulgrim, my god this guy is fiddly, the little extensions to his tabbard and shoulder bits are a nightmare!

**daxx367**

If I ever get one, you will hear from me

Looking very nice, can't wait to see it painted!

**Knightley**

Ha, sweet I'll get to be known as that guy who paints Primarchs

Update: Primed Grey and got some purple on bits

**daxx367**

Very nice looking!

**Casey's Law**

The Purifier is great, much warmer than the rest which will be nice on the table to get that stand out quality you wanted.

Fulgrim time! It's nice to see you work on more challenging miniatures and flex your painting muscles.

**Nashbashem**

Ah some great work as yet again occurred since I've been gone

And a Primarch to boot! I'm positive he will look epic once he's done.

He turned to chaos eventually and now so will you

I'd love to see you give a crack at the Loken and Abbadon set.

**Knightley**

@Daxx - Such a change painting purple, I've not had much practice at it so, hopefully, it will come together in the end.

@Casey - Challenging is a bit underrated, this guy is mental...

@Nash - Yeah you go away for a little bit and the whole world turns to the ruinous powers

If someone wants me to paint Loken and Abbadon I would consider obliging

Update: So because this model has so much detail I figured I would focus on the base first. First the gravel/stone was base coated with adeptus battlegrey, then given a drybruch of codex grey and a raised edge highlight/dry brush of admisitratum grey, the troopers were base coated in purple and the whole lot was then coated with devlan mud, to hopefully give it a dirty look about it (that and I'm running very very low on Badab Black) After the wash was try (I ended up doing some tiling the bathroom) I layered on a 50/50 purple base/Warlock Purple leaving recesses in my typical darker shade. The Iron warrior got a coat of black with adeptus battlegrey edge highlights and boltgun metal which was then washed black and left to dry.

**Knightley**

Next up is more work on the base.The skulls got 2 coats of bone and a white highlight, the eyes on the marines got a quick shade, layer, highlight + white dot. Any silver bits got edge highlighted and the Emp children got a warlock purple edge highlight.

Reasons why I want money:
To buy Forge World stuff.
To get Knightley to paint it!

**Casey's Law**

Looks like you're doing a lovely job on it!

**Knightley**

@Daxx - Funny enough that's not far off why I want money as well!

@Casey - Thanks dude

Update: Got some time on the face. I started with a tallarn base and a wash of ogryn flesh over the whole face and a purple wash around the eyes (because you know, fulgrim was that way inclined) I then layered on a 50/50 of Dwarf Skin and Elf Skin, after that was dry I layered on a direct layer of Elf skin, trying to catch the raised edges of the face, such as nose, eye brows cheek bones etc. Once that was dry then I did a final touch up of 50/50 white and elf skin. Now before you all comment on the hole on his chin, its hidden on the lower lip of his armor so dont freak out

**Gitsplitta**

Far better job than I could do...

**Casey's Law**

Excellent!

**Knightley**

@Gits - I dunno, I've seen the faces you've done and you're not slouch when it comes to faces!

@Casey - Cheers dude

Update: not a lot done today as I spent most of the day tiling the bathroom, long process that. but basically his eyes, eyebrows and hair has been completed

**Gitsplitta**

Don't envy the tiling...

Do envy Fulgrim though... nice progress, even if limited.

**inmygravenimage**

There are no words to express how impressed I am with that face. Stunning, by far your best work.

**Knightley**

@Gits - Tell me about it, who's the smart guy who suggested fixing the bathroom before the baby comes!?

@Graven - It not bad, I am happy with the lighter tones when you compare it with some of the other faces I've done

Spoiler:

Update; got some paint on the Icon which sits on the base, the green was interesting, I've not painted any great amounts of green so it was a nice change

**daxx367**

:O
That will be all.

**Yellowbeard**

Wow! Nice work on Fulgrim's head, Knightley.

**Casey's Law**

Lovely, delicate work sir.

**Knightley**

@Daxx - Thanks

@YB - Cheers, the client is very happy with it as well

@Casey - Delicate indeed good sir, his head isn't huge either!

Update: finished up the Icon after more tiling :S

**Matt.Kingsley**

Great work on Fulgrim so far, everything you've finished (and the icon

) look great

**Casey's Law**

You can just tell this is going to be epic.

**Gitsplitta**

Nice job on the wreath Knightley. Makes the metallic bits stand out very well.

**Knightley**

@Matt - Thanks man

@Casey - is the build up about to pop a blood vessel

@Gits - Perfect that's what I was going for!

Update: as a test to how I was going to do the gold and purple I threw on some paint for his Volkite charger

I have had the pleasure of seeing that build in person. It is beautiful.

**Miss Dee**

Bet it looks better than the picts

**Epicus Maximus**

Fulgrims going to look gorgeous with your smooth painting style!

Can't wait to see him completed!

**Matt.Kingsley**

The pistol and it's holster are looking great, Knightley!
