Sanguinary Guard gallery # 2

Here's another set of Sanguinary Guard images.  I believe the base color was a Tausept Ochre mixed with walnut, or hormagaunt purple in the shadow areas where I wanted it to be slightly cooler.  I even mixed scorpion green with some flesh tones to create some of the mid range colors which needed to be warmer, but with a greenish touch.

If I needed a very light color that was a cooler hue, I would mix some bright yellows with space wolves grey, being careful not to make it too greenish!

OK, another hard day of work on the army board.  Here is the house in its final stages:






Marty had a great idea to put Lee and Grant in the house, so he created these images for the windows...


And we need Mrs. McLean and her window garden!




Here's the board after some static grass:


And with some units out on the board...

Sanguinary Guard Squad one, Gallery #1

Just like the Dante I posted last night, these Sanguinary Guard posed quite a challenge to paint in NMM.  As with Dante, I had to have a wide assortment of colors out on the pallette, covering a range of color temperatures, etc.  Their armor was more intricate than Dante's, so it got interesting!

This particular mini presents quite a challenge when considering doing NMM with the golds, since every pat of it is gold, and not just trim here and there, etc.  Color temperature is just as crucial here as with SE-NMM.  I used a lot of muted purples and greens to get shadow areas, while leaving some of the warmest yellows for highlights on the upper sections.

Here are some pics...
