About the Project

I have never completed a full army for 40k even though I have collected bits and pieces for years. This is my first attempt at a real fully painted army. Any and all constructive criticism and advise is welcome and indeed wanted.

Went back to using a brush to add some more detail to the pin washing and I’ve also experimented with adding some weathering effects with the airbrush … for a beginner I am actually really please with what I’ve achieved.

I bought myself an airbrush!!! Used it to base coat the R’Varna, hard to see the difference as it Ulthuan Grey over a white base coat but I am very pleased with how easy and quick the base coating was. Then experimented with a pin wash and highlight again with the airbrush.

I must say I am am pleased with the result 🙂
