I'm actually really excited to paint these... for now! Two squads at the same time though...
I did three levels of priming on these for an end-result zenithal highlight. I primed them black, did grey at 45°, then white from the very top. If I was doing a monochrome scheme only, I'd be tempted to keep it just like this!
Well, I power through this model tonight.
I'm mostly pleased about how it turned out. The colour choices I made in 2001 are just wack though!
I still need to matte finish the model... especially that red section on the back, but I think the idea comes across.
I started playing miniature wargames with Warhammer 40,000 back in 2001. I came across my first ever model last month (I'm so glad/surprised I kept it).
Someone online suggested that I paint up a new model at my current painting skills. Challenge accepted!
I'm using CK Studio's airbrush method... I realised two firsts though:
1. First time painting an intercessor (wow!)
2. First time painting yellow.
There was a learning curve and I had to start over once.
It was looking really ugly and then I started the filter phase... I might have overdone it. However, I'm not doing Golden Demon here and I'll just keep trucking. It still will look better than back then!
And we're done!
I really think the basing saved the day... it was getting very drab, but the greens in the grass and the white-painted lines really come through.
Wow, it's been a while. Went camping for a week and now back to school has ramped up (I'm a teacher).
I finished the models tonight minus transfers and basing. I'll do that hopefully tomorrow night?
