Space Marine Captain

A little while back I realized I hadn't painted anything above a tabletop standard in ages, and I decided a good way to refresh my painting skills would be to follow one of the 'Eavy Metal masterclasses. I decided to use the Captain Sicarius one on my Assault on Black Reach Captain (who I believe is a younger version of Sicarius). I finally got round to taking some pictures of him, and here's the result:

The shape of the cloak inside didn't allow for the extensive masterclass freehand, so I added a little (upside-down - darn!) Ultramarine symbol instead. 

There are a few areas that could have been improved upon (the armour and extreme highlights on the red spring to mind), but as a test to get me back in painting gear I'm pretty happy with him. His base is deliberately simple because I'm planning to paint a small AoBR detachment and wanted an easy, unifying base scheme for them.

I hope you like him and, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.

Coming soon are some more vampire counts and something TT+1. Until then, happy painting!
