PAINTING SPACE MARINE DEVASTATORS
MULTI-MELTA
HOW'D HE DO THAT?
ARMOUR
For my Shadow Hawk Multi-Melta Space Marine, I basecoated the armour with a 7:3 mix of Chaos Black to Codex Grey to get a deep, charcoal-grey colour. Then, I highlighted the armor with a 7:3 mix of Codex Grey to Chaos Black (a reverse of the base mix). I basecoated all of the red areas with Scab Red and worked up to Blood Red.
MULTI-MELTA
On the barrel of the Multi-Melta, I drybrushed a small amount of Chaos Black to mimic the scorch marks created by the weapon.
DETAILS
I added a parchment drape to the one shoulder pad. This drape was ideal to paint kill markings on the model. I used simple hash marks for the number of kills and also added a silhouette of an Eldar Falcon to represent that the hash marks were for the number of Falcon/Wave Serpent kills in the Chapter's recent campaign against Eldar forces.
