Who am I kidding, there was no circumstance, I just paint slow.
Actually scratch that I have a better excuse... let's start again...
So I saw the painting guide on warhammer tv for a pale skin tone and wanted to try it out on one of the new bolter scouts for the 10th company. I decided to the best way to test was to paint the whole model to get some idea of the way the face would look in the overall composition, as with over 60 space marines painted at this point, my blood angels red scheme is relatively locked down. And by that I mean the steps I take each time are the same, whether the red is an exact match from marine to marine is down to, apparently, complete random chance.
Convinced by my explanation for having only painted one model...? Anyway here he is...
Overall I'm medium happy. He looks a little washed out but maybe this fits the space vampire theme. The rest of the squad are prepped and mounted and I think I'll go for one more scout in these colours and then revert to my normal more warm tones for the rest. This dude just needs to eat a good meal, and by that I mean get stuck in to the fight teeth first.
Also managed to get the full battle company out for a battle this week! Still learning the LGT missions, am not yet used to the dual scoring streams mechanic!
I thought the battle company would really struggle against the flyers but with the help of the Knights Icarus array and the fact that the rest of my opponents army just castled up, I was just swimming in board control.
Fingers crossed I'll have a full scout squad to show next time!
