Well, it's been a while since I picked up a paint brush. Unfortunately my job has been super busy due to the pandemic (I manage health and safety in a medical research building so it's been pretty full on) which has left very little time for hobby.

Because I'm still feeling very rusty I wanted to start something different so have made a start on some Delaques. These probably weren't the best models to start with after a long break as they are actually way more fiddly than they first seem.

I also wanted to have a play around with the contrast paints as I hadn't really had much use out of them.

Not overly happy with them so far, but they are still very WIP. I think the biggest issue was the white undercoat - Corax White on a cold day does not come out smooth, and on one or two of the models it's really grainy. However, the experiment using contrast paints on their leather coats has, I think, worked. I wanted an aged leather effect and I think it's not bad.

But it is good to be painting again but I think I will go back to scenery for now just to get back into it a bit and have fun drybrushing.

I think they look really good, you've nailed the leather effect and they look really nice as a whole.

Cheers Doghouse, they're actually lovely models some of the details on them is tiny... The bionics were particularly tricky after a long break.

 

It was nice to be able to get 10 minis base coated so quickly using contrast paints though. I need to play around with them more as they seem very versatile.

 

I've actually now finished the Delaques but can't seem to get decent photos...

 

Ogryn Slave Gang next and I am very looking forward to painting these. I should also finish the last couple of Enforcers to.

Cheers everybody.

 

I've moved over to Wraithbone for the primer and it's giving much smoother results but I'm finding the paint has more of a tendency to rub off, but maybe that's just me.

 

Anyway, made a start on the Slave Ogryns and am thoroughly enjoying painting these.

 

Very WIP at the moment and sorry for potato cam pics, lol.

Good job on the ogryns.

What's on his chest? A bomb to be used against enemies the ogryn fails to kill with his own hands (if it's a suicide bomb) or so the slaveowner can destroy evidence and cover his tracks (if it's detonated by remote)? Edited by Bjorn Firewalker
