Terminus Alpha

[update - This made final cut at Baltimore Games Day 2010]

My wonderful wife on both our wedding day, and my birthday, gave me the limited edition release of Space Hulk.
This is my first attempt at painting one of the Blood Angels, and I think I've set myself a new bar.

I think the next one I paint, I'll actually take pictures of each step if there's interest. Below, however, is the formula I've devised:

Blood Angel Orange
~
Black Base

Mechrite Red (wash)
Blazing Orange (wash)
Solar Orange (wet highlight)
Blood Red (wash)

Chaos Black (painted into all crevices to create shadow)

Blood Red (to intensify outer areas)
Red Gore (to redden near the shadows)
Blood Red + Red Gore (to blend)

Golden Yellow + Red Gore (highlight edges)
Blazing Orange (highlight edges more)
Blazing Orange + Golden Yellow (highlight edges more)
Blazing Orange + Solar Orange (highlight/intensify areas)

Elf Flesh (edge trim - bright areas)
Tanned Flesh (edge trim - dark areas)
Blazing Orange (intensify/blend colours where needed)
Blazing Orange + Golden Yellow (help intensify colours)
