Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Negavolt Cultists

I didn't get very far, but I got a bit of a start on the Negavolt Cultists. Definitely too much small detail to do so I couldn't use a airbrush for most of it. I just did the skin (love the colour I chose - a Vallejo Model Air Blue).

The metal parts are taking forever, hence why only 2 of them are at that stage. Hopefully next weekend I can get a bit further.

Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Chaos Space Marines

This is the 2nd attempt I've made on airbrushing these guys! The first time I didn't trust the process and I didn't do enough grey shading. This time, I think I did a good job, but the black filter I sprayed wiped some of the highlights out. C'est la vie.

This is painted up until the wash stage. Highlights to come, as well as the bases for these guys and the Rogue Psykers. I hope to get a bit more painting in this weekend to finish these guys off.


Next day update:
Managed to get a bit more painting in and finished these guys off. I also did some more bases as hoped.

Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Bases

I was going to leave all the bases to be painted at the end, but I was sick of looking at the ugliness! Especially if I get a game in some time.

I 3D printed these bases off of the Dragon's Rest collection. I had hoped to just glue them onto the regular bases, but unfortunately, they are a bit bigger. They are not quite as tall as a standard GW base, but they are close enough and if all the models are on the same height, it wouldn't matter.

I was truly scared of dealing with the Spindle Drones... they are barely on the base as it was!


Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Rogue Psykers

I got a late night session in tonight... and managed to take care of the Rogue Psykers. Thankfully there's only two models to deal with!


I mostly enjoyed painting them. I might do some blue effects on the one who's touching his head with his fingers to show he's using psychic powers. We'll see!

Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Beastmen

I got a bit of a start on the beastmen. I wish I could use the airbrush more on these guys but there is too much small detail!

This is a work in progress pic. Hopefully I'll get to paint a bit more tomorrow night.


Next night: Finished it off!

Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Ur-Ghuls and Spindle Drones

I was originally going to do the Traitor Guardsmen, but in the end, I decided to tackle the easiest of the mobs in order to get some momentum.

I watched a couple of YouTube videos and I really liked how the GW videos went - I didn't exactly airbrush a whole lot with these two though.

For the Ur-Ghuls, I did a grey primer and then a zenithal white primer. I just followed the video with a lot of shades and dry brushing and voilĂ !



For the Spindle Drones, it was virtually all dry brushing. I decided to tone it down with some shades after though - they were a bit too bright for my liking.
