Hey everybody, I had a second sitting with the Captain today, fairly brief but I think I settled my issues with the color scheme.

Blood Ravens characters from the Dawn of War game had a lot of bronze/gold on them and I figured out how I want to do my HQ models now. From the elbow and knees down will be bronze, leaving the core of the model and the shoulder pads pretty much standard. Maybe I'll add a little bit of bronze to the backpacks as well, instead of having them just red and black.

The little tech bit on the base was a half-arsed attempt at doing some of the European style weathering on off-white areas. Basically it was Menoth White Base (Bleached Bone) with a ton of washes then simple scratches. Not exactly what I wanted but a close approximation and it was extremely quick to do.
