Hi folks,
Me: Paint a 50 PL Dark Angels army in two weeks using speed painting techniques!
Also Me: Spend a whole week painting one model!
Ahhh, well 😂
During the first week of my challenge I spent a lot of time planning conversions and paint schemes. I wanted to use the Lazarus figure as a basis for a custom Company Master, but really wanted him to have a similar visual impact as Lazarus (he is ridiculously cool looking). Because my plan involved a bolt carbine hanging from a strap and an extra cloak, I had to plan the construction and paint job in layers. That included some sub-assemblies of sub-assemblies; I had to paint the bolter before attaching it to the arm, then paint the arm before attaching it to the body. All of this has taken a lot of time, but has been highly enjoyable.
Next on the agenda is to paint the head, which I am going to keep helmeted, the right shoulder with 3rd company markings and the Heavenfall blade, which I am hoping to giving some lightning effects. I have never done this effect successfully, sooo...
See you across the table,
Marc
Simply beautiful! That shoulder pad is great!
ReplyDeleteIt's not always easy to find the balance between painting quickly but also keep up your standart.
Great work so far; can't wait to see it all come together! Congrats.
