CAV:SO Cataphract, Silverback, and Imperator

[SparksMurphey]

Over Easter, I'm trying to get some paint on the wonderful new Bones CAVs I've got. I'm starting with the Cataphract, Silverback and Imperator, three of the new designs introduced in the Kickstarter. The Cataphract and Silverback will be a brown-and-grey camo scheme to go with my existing Ritterlich minis, while I'm going for a garish yellow pattern for the Imperator, since Rach are known for being preening peacocks favouring overt colour schemes.

 

First off, undercoats. The Imperator gets a Muddy Brown base, the other two an Oiled Leather base.

 

Once that's dried, Muddy Brown and Stone Grey are sponged onto the Cataphract and Silverback...

 

...while the Imperator gets two coats of Sun Yellow.

 

And after the yellow is dried, Peacock Green is added as highlight lines, with Lava Orange in flame patterns.

 

Now moving on to the finer details!

Great work

Finished most of the work on the minis themselves. They still need a little touch-up and basing, but here they are out in the sun with a DSLR rather than my phone camera.
