Out of curiosity, which colour did you use?

Gunmetal grey

[Boc]

I've got him all glossed up, doing decals, damage and then grime tomorrow! 

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Certainly getting there quickly

[Boc]

Ah yes, the bath in streaking grime, moderation is for the weak! 

 

 

Cleanup and basing tonight! 

 

Also finished up the Iconarch for the Dark Commune

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Nice  I like the muddy hem of their robes, and how it interacts with the base

[Boc]

Karnivore is all finished up!

 

 

Spoiler

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

They look great  

 

There's such a big difference between the last two images  

[Rusted Boltgun]

That Karnivore really is the stuff of nightmares.

[ZeroWolf]

Brilliant painting on the karnivore, love the base!

AK Streaking Grime is my best friend lol

 

I'm glad you all liked that one! Because his brother is being feverishly worked on (RTT this coming weekend and I've paused on my CSM playing) 

 

 

Should be able (I hope) to finish him up tomorrow and then get back to the Dark Angels. Or maybe finish the other 10 half painted things on my desk. 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Looks like their friend is off to a good start too

[ZeroWolf]

He's looking great! If I didn't have about a dozen unfinished projects I probably would look at chaos knights a bit more

[Boc]

Aaaaaand he's done! I went full crazy on enamel and oil washes to add weathering, and I kind of love it.

I got the rest of my DWK assembled last night while waiting for different layers on the Karnivore to dry off, so I'm probably back to them for a bit. 

[Boc]

Okay enough of those gross loyalists. I have been cranking this week, courtesy of a very mild case of covid leaving me quarantined in my basement. Where my painting station is. Oh noooooo...

 

Cult Demagogue is obnoxiously painted because I was like "I wonder if these go together" and just went with it. And with her, 2nd Dark Commune is finished.

 

 

 

Also finished up the layers, gloss + wash + clean steps on my Chaos Lord. Thinking he looks suitably grungy.

 

 

Tomorrow for him will be matte coat and basing (hopefully).

 

Last up, finally made good progress on Haarken, getting his layer step completed. Tomorrow is gloss + wash + clean, then waiting for the next day to matte and base. He's a little brighter than I'd expected, but the washes should darken him up pretty substantially. 

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

That Chaos Lord came out well

[ZeroWolf]

That chaos lord looks so good, nice work!

[Boc]

Chaos Lord completely done! Should finish Haarken pretty quickly tomorrow, then get working on MoE and the Possessed

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Nice work

[ZeroWolf]

Outstanding  and stood on the blood and bodies of his enemies as he should be 

[Boc]

The washes definitely did the trick and darkened his obnoxiously bright paint job up. Happy with the result, but not necessarily thrilled. At the very least, one more cleared off the backlog.

 

 

[Boc]

Cranking cranking... must... finish... February vow...

WIP shot! Tomorrow should be washes and finish him up Wednesday! 

 

[Boc]

The mad sprint is nearing an end for the sake of the February vow. The MoE is all finished up, and just the Possessed remain (though will realistically not be until March no matter what). Once they're finished up, that generally empties my assembled Chaos backlog (... don't ask me about unassembled...)

 

So here is the MoE, in all of his skin draped glory

 

 

I've painted all of the armor panels with the normal green (MoE has a new color combo that the local guy who painted my Chosen used that I tried to copy here), then gone back over all of the exposed flesh/bone with a pale gray for easy speed paint afterwards. Then a day of trim, a day of wash drying, and by the means of a miracle I may be able to get them finished by Saturday.

 

 

Also, to toot my own horn a little bit, February has been a HUGELY productive month. Got all of these done + Skullmaster (PS Express can only combine 9 lol) in February!

The Master of Executions seems to fit that base them quite well  

 

You've definitely got a lot done this month

[Boc]

This clears out my assembled Chaos backlog... time to go crazy on some Deathwing

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

They came out quite nicely.  Good to hear you've got no backlog for that project any more
