Enter Kranix, Epistolary Librarian of the Dark Angels.

Well, been a busy couple of days.  Got the Forge World in, and got everything of mine put together.  I am painting the Deimos Hyperios Whirlwind in Adeptus Mechanicus colors.  But, supplies not withstanding, I switched out to painting on more Deathwing.

Here is Epistolary Kranix, of the Deathwing.



I decided to stay with the traditional Librarian colors of blue for the armor, and then add Dark Angel and Deathwing trim. 
Did not do the tabard in Dark Angels Green because it would have blended into the blue on the armor, so I went with the 5 stage red.  
The blues are Cygnar Blue Base, highlighted with Cygnar Highlight, and then a final highlight of Cygnar Highlight mixed with some white.  Final wash with Drakenhoff, and the blue is nice and deep.  
The Crux pad was painted with Dark Angels green, washed with Thraka, re-highlighted with DA Green, and then a final wash of Nuln Oil.
To keep the purity seals differentiated from the bone of the Deathwing pad, I did those in Menoth White Highlight, highlighted by white, then washed with Seraphim Sepia.
Final touch was to take my .005 Micron pen and add some litanies to the seals and scrolls.

He came out pretty nice.  Once he is based and matte varnished, the colors should really pop.
