Sons of Horus - First test marine

Having received my SoH shoulder pads and the bolt pistols I have been able to crack on with the painting. I decided to paint one test model before going at the whole squad.

The first thing I did was mix up enough of the base colour to make 2 pots worth. This should see me through the whole army hopefully but otherwise I am pretty confident I can recreate it easily enough having noted down rough measurements.

Here is the progress on the tac marine, as always feedback is welcomed:

Basecoat and wash 1
Wash 2
Reapplication of base layer
Grime, battle damage and a small amount of blood staining added to face plate and chest plate

More to come by the end of the week...
