Falax Blades on World Eaters Assault Marine Painted

I had a lot of fun painting this character! This is the World Eaters squad sergeant for an assault squad. Naturally, I upgraded him with a pair of falax blades - because that's exactly what you should do in my opinion!

The painting follows my standard formulation for World Eaters with the off-white of the armour contrasting nicely with the blues of the shoulder pads and jump pack. What really makes most World Eaters come together nicely is the blood. This is the fun part to say the least! Here, I've done something a bit different if you can pick it by eye. I've applied blood for the blood god liberally on select locations of the armour. These are the denser red blobs. 

However, I've followed this up with some careful flicking of red contrast paint. On the torso, it is possible to see the spray from this aligns very pleasingly with the blood for the blood god lines that I've painted diagonally. 

And to think that these monsters are supposed to be the good guys (for clarity: I'm going to run them as loyalists most of the time despite the head swap suggesting otherwise potentially!). It is easy to see how they fell, but equally it is tragic unlike some other legions. 

I will have to get the rest finished and photographed soon!
