1416h: First transport... erm update is away!

August 25, 2018

So, first real update for the day. Firstly I took care of gunmetal. It went onto the top of the antennas, the energy packs on the back and mainly the gun muzzles. I also used it on the swords and power coils of the plasma weaponry, but this will be painted over with a glow effect at the very end. The Prime got a metal power fist and a few details here and there. I used Model Color Gunmetal (70.863) but I wouldn’t recommend it. First time I say this about a Model Color as it is normally a very good range, but this paint has terrible consistency and very low pigment counts. It needed two coats to cover grey.

Then I used Model Color Flat Brown (70.984) on the stave of the Psyker and the gun holster of the Prime.

Next up was the skin. GW Balor Brown for the Sarges and the Prime and GW Bugmans Glow for the Psyker. I want a harsher contrast on the Psyker as he is probably a bit drained from all the warp energy.
