Decision has been made...
... but is it that surprising? I have decided keeping my only test and the Nemesis claws has been issued in a whitish scheme.
Thepainting process has not been that complicated once the recipe described in the previous blog entry has been validated. The dry bruched white gives an overall aspect that is dirty enough to fit to the idea of a unit of CSM cut from its logistical support and counting on resilience of its material rather than spare parts.
I use as an excuse this pic of a NL tactical marine from HH where some serious portions of the armour were white. And I call my squad the Night Ghosts, and Ghost are probably whiter than bluer. Unles these are AoS Nightgaunts and are green fluo...

The result:
The white is a little bit bland and the winged helmet helps getting a focal point with its contrasting color. Just look at the guie waving a Nostromo's glaive to see whta I mean: without wing it looks a tad "pale"

Others are rather OK, or at least good enough for me as I do not plan more CSM models and no army relationed with this unit. These lads will be used for KT only or be sold/traded. Should a local gamer be interested.

One deception is the attempt to do some blood splashes. I have tried various ways to do it and it looks like I am able to do some small tiny drops of splash on my cloths and on the table but not on the models.... So only some small added-on red on chain baldes figures blood. If anyone has a trick to share for that kind of effect, I am interested. I guess my paint is not dilluted enough.
This unit was on my rooster for a long time, since the release of the KT "nightmare"'extension. IT is closing a chapter as I now have no kt related models left. The long term backlog has been reduced to a single spiritseer, 2 or 3 armoured containers and 40 Neophytes. My short term backlog based on AdMech models bought over the past 12 months or so does no count as these will be my entries for this year CtA26. But it looks like I might be out of work as far as any project for 40k is concerned by end of the year. Shoud I maintain the rhythm...
I still have these ooP EPIC SM and Squats though. But it is hard to focus on tiny models. Being shortsighted does not help maybe.
See you.
