Black Legion Hell Brute - video showcase included

Hi again, im back with another finished model and another video showcase. Its the Hellbrute again, this time in black legion colours and much darker flesh colours then i used while painting first one. I did not succeeded to achieve exact flesh colours i wanted, but i got much closer to what i wanted than whith previevous model. I basecoated model with mix of skin tone and grey to airbrush shadows later shooting black shade wash. After the shadows were painted i continued to highlight flesh parts with pure skin tone and then i added almost final highlight of bleached bone. After that i glazed raised area with mix of bleached bone and white. Armour parts were basecoated by steel colour and then darkened by two layers of black shade wash. I know i could paint armour straight black and then highlight it with some gray tones but i like the effect the method i used gives. Gold parts were painted by vma gold and then shaded a bit with help of agrax earthshade wash. I felt like i should add somethink to the gold parts so i added some copper like rust by mixing turquoise and green colours and then i started feeling good while looking at almost finished model.

 Horns were painted with sandy brown and then darkened with agrax earthshade again. Tips of horns were highlighted with mix of sandy brown/bleached bone. I did not came with any idea how to paint "pilots" head and i was thinking about replacing it with more tentacles or by huge single eye, but the problem is i dont have any tentacles bits(and my ability to green stuff somethink sux) and eye idea came after the model was glued so there is no reasonable way to place some ball inside and paint it like an eye. However im quite happy with the look of this model, but i think i could do the various cables better as black colour looks quite boring. I know black legion armour should be pure black, but as i ve said before, i like the scorched armour like look this  approach give to the model and its closer to my imagination how chaos space marine armour should look. I hope you like the model at least same as i am. If not, let me know why and if you are impressed same as i am, then click on the play button below to watch video showcase of this piece;-) Thanks for reading and see you again very soon!
