So grand to see these guys again. Just brings a smile to my face.

**Knightley**

Cheers Gits, while painting these I get a sense of completion, finally getting rid of my old paint style leaving only photographic evidence it ever existed, its a good feeling

Update: could have sworn I took two pics, turns out I was wrong

**Mad..**

Coming along nicely

**Knightley**

Thanks mate, got some time on the weekend to paint as well.

Update: Marine done

**Camkierhi**

The squiggle master returneth.

Looks brilliant mate.

**Mad..**

I know I have said it before, but I'll say it again... I'm really digging the weapons of your devastators

**MarsNZ**

Those assassins look siiiiick!

My shrink says I'm ready for a rematch btw

**Knightley**

@Cam - Cheers

Look forward to more squiggles soon!

@Mad - Cheers man, much appreciated

@Mars - Awesome to hear bro, I've fired you a text.

Update: figured I'd do the Sgt as a break from heavy weapons, I needed to make a signum for him so I mushed one together from some spare bits I had in my bits box. Also phone quality pics suck.

**Knightley**

Update: getting the grey solid and starting on the highlights

**Knightley**

Update: Blues and reds now done

**inmygravenimage**

Looks tasty and lovely kitbash there. Planning on bringing out the big guns soon?

**Knightley**

Cheers buddy, I've been shying away from using these guys purely based off the paint scheme so now I'm working through them I plan to use them more in my games

Update: Marine done - If I could redo the backpack I would make it more compact, it sticks out the back quite a bit.

**Knightley**

Update: Started on the last member for this squad

**Camkierhi**

OK so Sarg looks bloody amazing, sorry just does. Love it.

This squad is shaping up nicely.

**Gitsplitta**

Like the way the sgt & MM guys came out. The light blue edging really brings them to life.

**inmygravenimage**

Huzzah! Final push!

**Knightley**

@Cam - Thanks man, much appreciated!

@Gits - Is it easier to see them with the lighting change? or was it always visible for the highlights?

@Graven - Awww yisss, finish this marine and I have a small devastator squad done!

Update: Grey is solid!

**Gitsplitta**

Easier with the lighting change I think.

**Knightley**

Duly noted Gits, might see if I can get the colours a bit better as well.

Updated: Edge highlights on the grey done

**Gitsplitta**

Crispy....

**Knightley**

I'll need to do a heavy flamer squad and then they can be nicknamed the Grey Crispy Squad or GCS for short.

Update: Almost done, the reds and white got a finishing

**Knightley**

Update: Marine done

**Gitsplitta**

I wish heavy bolters were better... they're very cool.

**inmygravenimage**

Sweet! I want dreadnoughts now...

**Knightley**

@Gits - Agreed, I did have some minor success with 4 HB devs with the imp fists chapter tactic, but I had a few other tricks to pop tanks, these guys just targeted fire warriors and were mediocre.

@Graven - Still a bit of work to do on the dreads

Also need to source some chamfered 60mm bases as well.

Update: continuing with the devastators repaints!

**Knightley**

Update: Grey highlights done, added some blue and reds to boot

**Knightley**

Update: got to work on the robes

**Knightley**

Update: Marine done

**inmygravenimage**

Very nice, although I expected a bit more osl glow?

**Knightley**

You're right, I think I missed some white on the very edges, will get on to that asap.

Update: second lascannon repaint underway
