Hey guys! This Friday I’m signing off for the week with one of the most brutal (pun) customs so far, a character that has become the fan favorite of many: Halo Wars 2 - Atriox! The Banished leader was introduced to us halo fans back in 2017 in Halo Wars 2 and is EXPECTED to have some role in the coming title #haloinfinite. Before E3 kicks off and I showcase some real neat goodies, I decided to give this guy a go for the first time in 4 years! To start, I custom sculpted a new torso, lower legs and arms to give him some much bigger, badder proportions. Next, the entire armor was repainted in Chaos black, where I then applied Leadbelcher silver. In some spots I painted with Iron Warriors, as well as Dryad Bark, Mechanicus grey and Abbadon black. On the inner portion of the right arm are red accents, and the head sculpt is ENTIRELY hand painted, even down to the pupils on the eyes! Once dry, the figure was given a matte finish along with a light black wash. Working on the banished is always fun, but bringing Atriox to life was even better. Enjoy!
