I am deep into painting the next three squads - and Lieutenant - for this Boarding Patrol; I've now finished highlighting the armour, so now I'm painting the undersuits. 

Rather than talk about that (not massively exciting ), I thought I'd share an observation about how washes seem to work differently on miniatures with a different pose. When I had base-coated the Hellblasters and Lieutenant, after I gave them a wash of my, uhh, custom wash  I felt that - for whatever reason - the armour was a lighter shade than that of the Assault Intercessors. 

For the life of me, I'm sure it's not a trick of the eye  but I'm convinced that, because the legs are angled differently between the two miniatures, the wash makes a slightly darker shade on the Assault Intercessors. Maybe it is the pose, maybe it is my eyes  but I ended up giving the Hellblasters and Lieutenant another wash (mainly on the legs). 

I think they all look a similar tone now (maybe the Lieutenant is slightly, ever-so-slightly  darker), but it's odd, and as I say, I can only put it down to the pose of the miniatures 

Here's a pic to illustrate:
