Count Dooku

 

After the dismal performance of Grievous, I decided to add a new commander to the separatist army. The cheapest option available was a tactical droid, but I went with the Confederation's head of state: Count Dooku himself. He is a powerful fighter in the table, with some nice command buffs, and thanks to being a sith he's far more durable than your average caracther.
Painting was pretty quick: the suit was done in vallejo sea grey mixed at 50/50 with black, then I lightened the raised surfaces by lowering the black to only 25%. The sword was a brandywine/naphton red mix, with a drybrush of pure naphton over it. Boots were black with a dark grey highlight, while the cloak was pinted in hull red. The gold is GWs retributor armour with an old brown wash coat.
I'm still having problems with vallejo inks, should try GW instead
The face turned out quite well. The base layer was vallejo elf skintone, the highlights basic skintone with a final watered down ink wash to add some shadow. We'll see how he does in his first outing, when the seppies will also have some serious firepower thanks to a BIG unit I'm working in right now
