About the Project
So after a long time resisting I was talked into going halves on the new Saturnine box and then I saw Wayland did quite a good deal on the box and ended up with a box and half. To sort out my paint scheme I ordered a Mk6 tactical squad and settled on Ultramarines as a friend who talked me into this plays Iron Warriors and I have Imperial fists in 40k and the only other one I fancied was White Scars but for them they should all be on bikes or in transports. Hopefully we'll get some games in once I have enough of a force to play.

Mk6's Done and started on the Saturnine box
Following the test paint scheme the Mk6’s are done, one big squad with bolters and I have made a start with the Mk2’s.
The weathering
Finally I wanted a bit of weathering on the minis, the goal was to make them appear as if they had concrete dust all over their feet and legs.
To do this I used Ultimate weathering wash concrete letting it dry and then wiping it off with a damp cloth.
Not totally happy with the result but its the best I can do for now. I may come back to it at some point.
The bases
I did consider buying or 3d printing the bases but in the end I decided to make them using cork and army painter rubble.
These were then sprayed black and dusted with grey seer. The cork parts were then given a black wash and then using a sponge I added ash grey (army painter) to highlight the edges and any high points.
Getting started
This was going to be my attempt to paint up the Saturnine box and other thing but as usual things got in the way and while i have been painting stuff I didn’t update this project, so now its time to put this right.
Firstly I need choose a colour scheme,
Firstly I need choose a colour scheme, this my attempt with contrast paints. But I didn't like the resultIn the end I ended up with standard paint scheme:
Armour: Macragge Blue
Gun: Black
Silver accents: leadbelcher
Straps: Zandri Dust
Decoration: Retribution Gold
Eyes: Demon Red (two thin coats)
Then put a black wash over the whole thing and re highlighted the armour with Macragge Blue and lightened with white at the tops.
