All deliberate. I'm trying to use less colours so the model isn't too busy. Hence blood claw was chosen so the armour and shoulder pad colours would tie in with some elements of Abaddon like his shoulder pad, the flames and the hair.
If I'd painted the marine a completely different colour, it would have been too prominent and stole the show a bit. The blood was also used to tie elements together and to tell a story. Put a lot of thought into this model.
That is simply stunning. There's absolutely nothing to fault on that model. I think tying the SW colours in with his hair and trophy rack worked really well. The detail is superb without detracting from the center piece of this mini diorama that is Abbadon.
Sorry for replying to an old thread, but would it be possible to see some pics from other angles or perhaps a list of the parts used.
