Im still cracking on with the troops as theres no point building a AOP bastion if theres no one to put on it!

Ive got five about done except for some extreme highlights and some aquila shading

Ive even done some SM powersword work on one of the sergeants

We have a new captain with a chin straight out of family guy

Ive also had a go at camo on one of my snipers. This has just had its first wash and is still wet

Im going to paint the highlights and shade rather than rely on the wash. I'll use the wash as a guide for where to put the paint

Also anyone who saw the "today in IG" thread will know I accidentally won 4 auctions on Ebay when I expected to win one or two (damn you drunk bidding!!)

Ive gone through them and fixed some of the broken ones and put the least likely to make it into the army back on ebay (25 in total)

Im now left with this

at my current rate I reckon 2020 looks good.....

Thanks guys

Ive been working on the metal sniper tonight as I found it in a box at the weekend

Its an old one where the head was damaged so I switched it out for a scout one.

It was actually a simple paint job and actually fun to do

Ive tried to paint him with one eye shut and one open

Looks good - and your sniper has a much straighter rifle than mine do! :(

They are a nightmare. It looks straight but it's not 100%.

 

Ive got to tackle the metal sword on the metal command squad captain at some point. That has a wave in it!

 

I miss painting metal minis :)

Me: "Guardsman Marbo? What are you doing in a Cadian army?"

 

Marbo: "Catachans being who we are, we killed every damn bug within reach, so I have to go for a walk to find worthy prey."

 

Me: "But the nearest Catachan Regiment is light-years away!"

 

Marbo: "What, are you another one of those pansies who need to hide behind a Gellar field to cross the void? The denizens of the Warp don't deserve your fear, they deserve a sharp blade through the backs of their necks."

Ive not updated for a bit so I thought Id share progress

I decided the bastion looked too plain with a straight square base so kicked it out using plasticard and some spare corner brackets to match the level above. Im much happier with the result (even though getting the angles was a pain)

Ive spread some filler on it which will be sanded to give it the same surface as the plastic level above

I also bought some Halfords textured spray which has a fine sand in it and that looks like it will work really well to Tie the whole model together

Im also experimenting with how I paint faces.

Ive a load of helmetless minis so I thought Id work on my technique

Normally I focus on the flesh then do the eyes but this method works from the eye outwards.

The first one came out ok but the 2nd one is a bit Jack Sparrow :unsure.:

Note only the faces are done on these minis...

The bastion looks promising. Will you mount antiaircraft guns on that tower?

Thanks, Yes there will be two turrets above the door, bolters in all the windows and a laser on the roof

So today this has had an undercoat then black from below, white from above then grey on all the surfaces.

Ive now started to weather it.... this is going to be a loooooooooong process!

Im using oil paints and the dot process with white, black, brown and a tiny bit of green

I'll post a pic when I do the next panel

Ive done the door and the level immediately above it. Its hard to photo at the moment as its still wet. It will look better post a purity seal
