After painting Kill Team Sons of Horus and Death Guard marines I was in the mood to revisit my Dath Guard!
Mortarion is the third Forge World Primarch I painted. I took some extra time painting him, but the dirtiness of the Death Guard made it a bit less challenging as painting a cleaner Legion, let’s say the Emperors Children’s Fulgrim.
Overall a fun mini to paint, only the resin work is as painful as always.
I changed the colours a bit, most people paint the 30K Mortarion with a dirty white Robe, I wanted a darker look on his way to the dark goods.
So dark grey hood and robe. I even took a hint from the painting techniques of the great Ana Polanšćak and sprinkled some white dots on the mini!
While working on Mortarion I remembered that I also have the Tyhon mini lying around, so I build him also and batch painted both in one run, the colours were just the same.
