This marine follows the usual proscription for painting the World Eaters. This includes a white spray undercoat (White Scar) followed by a base coat of Corax White and highlights in White Scar. The blue on the shoulder pads is a base colour of Alaitoc Blue and highlights of Teclis Blue. The red helmet is done in contrast paint. Nuln oil follows where appropriate.
As per the standard formulation, I have grimed up the miniature by applying Guilliman Flesh into the recesses of the joints. Sponge applied Black and Eshin Grey shows some battle damage, and I've also applied some silver scratches to the shoulder pads.
Finally, of course, Blood for the Blood God has been liberally applied to show the miniature in the middle of a grim dark fight.
My intent here is that this is actually going to be a Loyalist force! Not that you can tell much difference from this to a Traitor I suppose?
Overall, I like the conversion, and whilst I might use it as a Praetor with a Paragon Blade, this one will also double up as a Warmonger with a thunder hammer counts-as. The Tartaros shoulder pads are hopefully enough to mark it out as a Tartaros terminator despite the otherwise Cataphractii base miniature from Forge World. What I'm really pleasantly surprised about is just how well Dark Angels weapons blend in and work for the World Eaters. I'm going to keep doing this!
