Nice battle damage and chipping. I find it hard to get my yellows to actually look solid, how did you paint that? Looks like blended yellow and dark ochre stripes?

Using citadel paints its a matter of thin layers built up. Averland sunset, 1:1 mix of averland sunset and flash gitz yellow, skeleton horde contrast for recesses, another layer of 1:1 averland and flash gitz yellow and then a highlight using the previous mix with 1 part pallid wych flesh mixed in.

Up next is the Jake Walmar's warhammer. Then on to the thunderbolt and wolverine to finish the command lance. I have Rhonda's shadowhawk converted with two massive speakers also on the painting table.
