I seem to be a on a roll recently with my Army of the Imperium, I just have a Librarian and Chaplain left to do and I would have completed both Dark Vengeance and Deathstorm boxed games. Adding those to my Grey Knight Army and my Hawkshroud Imperial Knight and my rag-tag collection is growing nicely. more pictures of this brooding Company Master after the jump.
So much blending on this figure. In an age where we’re spoilt by gorgeously painted airbrush armies, I think there is something quite charming about going back to the brush and lavishing detail on a model and blending by hand. I’m no Golden Demon expert, but I relish the challenge and appreciate the skill the likes of Ben Comets and Darren Latham display.
As I write this, I’m assembling some Chaos Cultists from Assassinorium: Execution Force. I’m not sure what I want to paint next so I thought I’d get that box set ready to paint. Stay tuned.

That's a pretty cool model. Really love the purples. I'd probably had the "Asterix" helmet replaced, I was never a fan of those on Dark Angels. Apart from that, splendid job!
That's looking absolutely amazing. Certainly getting through the models quite quickly which always a good sign. Keep it up!
Nicely done. May I enquire what colours you used in the purple areas? I have used grey to highlight purple in the past and have had mixed results. No pun intended.
Brush is always excellent, but it will never compete with blending via airbrush if you know how to do it, not many people do. But looks awesome.
He looks great! Your timing on this guy was really helpful too as I am painting a converted version on him and it was great to see how you painted some of the details.
I agree Garfy, there's something immensely satisfying achieving a smooth blend with a regular brush. Personally I think it's a bit of a shame that there is more of a reliance on airbrushing over brushwork these days, almost like there's a little bit of the craft of the hobby being lost. Though I will admit when airbrushing is combined with other techniques and is done correctly it can look fantastic.
As an aside, love the sword – the high contrast reflections on that look awesome, really pops.
