Primarch Mortarion complete.

Here he is. My Mortarion. 

I set out wanting to replicate the Above artwork from the Horus Heresy artwork for the Card game. This proved to be quite difficult but I think I got close. 

The Book Flight of the Eisenstein described Mortarion as having Brass armour under a Shroud of grey. I googled Brass and got many hits of this colour. 

I decided to use a Vallejo Old gold to come close to this colour. The Old gold can look quite dirty especially after washed with burnt umber oil paints and white spirits :)

The cape is an off grey white with a selection of weathering Powders fixed and blended with White Spirits. 

Silence was painted with layers of Warplock Bronze, Runelord Brass, washed with Agrax and sponged with Mithril Silver. Nihiliak Oxide was used for verdigris. 

The face was a difficult thing to get right and still may tweak it over next few weeks. Used Karak stone, druchi violet and yellow washes to get the pallid sheen to his skin and highlighted with Karak and a bit of admin grey. 

I'm happy with the model and am looking forward to his first battle :)
