Halo Infinite: Brute Chieftain!

Hey guys! This Wednesday afternoon I’m showcasing what’s likely to be one of my personal best creations thus far, right from Halo: Infinite - The Banished Brute Chieftain! This particular armor permutation of the chieftain is my overall favorite from campaign, so I HAD to make this a figure. Mega gave us a wonderful new helmet and chest mold a couple years back, however I thought the overall armor could be improved. This figure features hand sculpted shoulders, wrists, a slightly extended torso, sculpted thighs, and sculpted lower legs - adding MUCH needed proportional height and bulk when compared to regular figures, like my Master Chief. All of these pieces were painstakingly modeled after in game images and I’m quite happy! Moving on to paint, I decided to first paint him in Chaos black, then repainting the armor in Mechanicus Grey and Khorne Red, sticking with the style of colors from my grunt mule. Next, his various straps and buckles were painted in Dryad Bark and Brown while certain spots were kept black or Corvus Grey. Smaller fine details were repainted in Runefang Silver and the skin was repainted in the head and feet with Stormvermin under a Kislev Flesh dry brush. The entire armor was then given a lighter black wash before I painted up a color accurate Gravity hammer, of course. This is by far one of my favorite figures of all time and certainly one that I put all of my heart in to. I hope you like this monkey, because it’s just the start. Enjoy!
