Hey all,

I'm currently building & painting a 40k daemons army. I'm a really slow painter so this took over two years with my guard, but I'm taking a different approach with my daemons. My standard rank and file troops are getting speedpainted. My rule I've set myself is:

Only 1 hour allowed per figure.

This will hopefully mean I get a playable painted army fairly quickly!

These are all ebay rescues, I paintstripped them then painted them with basic techniques only. They were sprayed, washed, wet brushed, dry brushed, detail work then rewashed in the shadowed areas only. I have 20 so only another 15 hours work to get them done, then its onto the 60 or so other daemons... lol!

I don't think they look too bad for just a mornings work, and all feedback is gratefully received.

They look pretty damn good for speed painting. Good Work!

I love it !

Only thing I would change is the colour of the skulls comming out of his tummy

Love them, they're really cool and look really good for speed painting.

Love the scheme looks good for speed painting.

The Purple People Eating Plaguebearers of Putrid Pestilence are pretty poshly painted with precise positioning of the proper paint pigments

I hadn't considered using purple for plaguebearers but the look great. Could you share the colour scheme, thanks

Thanks guys

@olim; The purple is my first use of the new GW range: xereus purple base, genestealer purple wetbrush, lucius lilac drybrush and druichi violet wash.
Green is caliban green with straken green highlights, coelia greenshade wash and a tamiya yellow glossy coat on top with which I also did a lot of the boils.

Hmmmmmm these remind me of a song...I think you know what it is:

Very nice!

Once you've finished the batch you're working on, you might use any leftover time to add a second color (some contrasting slime? Maybe yellowish?) to those bits of slime/venom trailing from the weapons. You could do the whole set of 20 at once quite quickly as one big assembly line.
