Today I finally managed to get the last two things that I needed to finish off the squad: stable weather for spraying varnish and PVA glue for basing!
Final results below:
 |
| 1st Squad, 7th Platoon taking aim! |
 |
| In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only pointing. |
 |
| All of my officers and veterans use Maxmini head swaps, so expect to see many more. |
 |
| Some standard troopers on the firing line. |
For November I'll be trying to get through either a vendetta gunship (roughly half painted already) or a few characters that I doubt will ever see much use on the field (Commissar, Priest etc.). I haven't decided which yet. I've been making slow progress on my 'teach myself weathering techniques' side-project this month and I'd like to get it finished before I tackle any other vehicles. So, finishing that little project will be first priority - once that's done I'll see what I have time left for in November!

ReplyDeleteIt worked well enough for the Emperor!... although he did have the whole "most powerful psyker" thing to add a bit of weight to his pointing.
How did you do their visors? They look shiny in the right way rather than just a bit of gold paint way.
The visors were based with 'Waaagh Flesh' (dark green), with a layer of 'Moot Green' (very bright green) and then the 'shine' highlights were added with 'Hellion Green' (which is the dry green). It's finished with a thin coat of 'Biel-Tan Green' (the green wash) to bring it all together. Yeah, I'm much happier with this than the gold I used on the Sentinel pilots, so I'll be re-doing them at some point - it just didn't work :)
