    I love both green and black schemes for him, I'm tempted to paint him a dark green using the previous tutorials to march the art on the book. I haven't fully decided.

    Not sure on the armour, but the sword is one of the many weapons they Dark Angels horde away in the Rock. Think the armour is the same, just one of many suits he has. I remember them talking about wanting to keep it unique and separate to the Heresy model.
    I believe this skirts around his waist are just that skirts, often used by knights/soldiers for parade dress. It's also pretty common across many fantasy/sci-fi knight factions.

    • @MediocreHobbies

      It's used on the flat areas, and the contrast is left as a shadow in the edges and the recesses because the Corvus Black is brighter than the contrast paint. Hope this makes sense?
