HTP: Imperial Fist Apothecaries

For my Apothecaries I wanted them to be a warm white so they wouldn't clash with the yellows of the army.

I started by painting them the same way as I painted the rest of my imperial fists. I then masked the shoulder pads with liquid frisket film topped with liquid latex.

The base would be a bone tan. Airbrush the entire model with Minitaire D6-159 Rotten Wood.

Any white will do. I airbrushed form a downward angle across the model to keep some tan in the shades but helping unify the armor in white.

The heads are glued to paint handles to prevent the weathering powder from pooling around the helmet where I can't get it. Also helps with painting details on the helmets. At this step I remove the liquid mask to reveal the yellow.  Not Shown, apply decals at this step. 

Once the decals are applied, softened, and sealed, I coat the entire model with weathering powder. After it has dried I use a cotton swab to remove the excess powder and shade the miniature. it's critical you do this as soon as it's completely dry.

For the metals I used Lead Belcher as a base, painted over it with Runelord Brass, and finished with Seraphim Sepia.

For the scroll work I simply painted them with Deck Tan,

For the seals I painted them in flat red.

Paint both the seals and the tapestry in Agrax, Once dry go back over them with deck tan and flat red to highlight.

The little apothecary symbol is painted in flat red. His vial is painted with Blue Green and washed with nuln oil.

After the nuln oil dries paint another layer of Blue Green, then mix white to add a highlight.

The blacks are done in the same way as the rest of the army. base black, London grey, sky grey.

The power swords are painted with the same colors as the plasma guns.
