Varanguard - work in progress

This morning, I had a couple of quiet hours, so I used them to do some work on the last model of the first Varanguard unit. I did most of the gold on barding and I also did a lot of work on the mount's skin. 

I really like the progress I've made, because this one was sitting on my shelf for quite a while. As you can probably see, I removed some parts of the armour on the mount's head, because I simply did not like them (and I think it looks more sinister this way).

Here are the colours that I have used so far:

• The miniature was primed with GW Chaos Black spray
• Layer of Vallejo Black was applied over the miniature
• Mount's skin was painted with GW Rakarth Flesh
• GW Flesh Tearer's Red (Contrast Paint) was applied all over the mount's skin
  
• Layer of Wazdakka Red was applied over the raised areas
  
• Skin was highlighted using Trollslayer Orange and Fire Dragon Bright
• Gold details on barding were painted with Retributor armour
• Barding was washed with Aghrax Earthshade 

Next step will be to finish the gold details on the barding completely and add some edge highlights.
