m0nolith Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Finished the first out of two squads of Blood Angels Primaris Inceptors. The second one will be armed with plasma. It really does blow my mind how clean and crisp your paint jobs are. Thank you my good man Crisp as always! The Imperialis is a work of art. Also really like the yellow on the Inceptor's helmet. What is the base yellow colour you're using? Thanks! I'm using Vallejo Yellow Ochre Air as the base, but I should say that I also use gloss varnish first which does darken it a little bit and then army painter anti shine to make it matt again.

Iv been thinking about my 30k BA and I'v come to the conclusion that my painting style (the fact that I spend an obscene amount of time per model) isn't conducive to playing one of the Legions (at least for now) if I actually ever want to play at a higher point value. So after thinking about it for a good long while, looking at the pros and cons, I'v come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to quit my BA...and start playing Custodes The fact is that I'v been a fan of the golden custards since they came out and actually long before they did. I always knew this was the army I was going to do after I finish the BA, but one issue was that I came to the conclusion I'm never actually going to finish the BA due to the time commitment required. There is also the fact that since I started painting my original BA, my painting style has changed significantly so I was seriously contemplating stripping and redoing all of the infantry models, and I think that would be a waste of hundreds of hours of work. So I sold all my unpainted BA FW stuff and I'm still looking for a buyer for my painted 30k BA. Given the fact I spent around 12 to 15 hours per model, I'm asking for what I believe to be a fair price for them, so it may take me a while to find a buyer. All that being said, I am working on a BA Leviathan commission, so expect to see photos of it here sometime not too far in the future.
