OK... these have actually been done for a week or so but I didn't have any dull coat so I couldn't get any pics taken until I got some more. This was an experiment in mixing two techniques to see how it would turn out and I think I like it. I started off with the airbrush doing a three color zenetial highlight for the flesh work. It was Black then medium grey and finally light grey from top down. After that I painted in all the details and then brushed on Strong Tone quick shade. I use the minwax equivalent instead of army painters. All in all I think I am happy enough with the way they came out.

A quick not on the swords... They were also an attempt at trying something new. I had already done the gradient as seen on them. I wanted to give them a bit more spice so I tried again to use Vallejo crackle medium. It is supposed to make a cracked pattern when you paint it on which you can then go back and run a wash over to make the cracks pop. Needless to say it did not work at all. I need to figure out what I am doing wrong with that stuff.

For anyone wondering why they are not red... they are set to go with my Bloodthirster I posted up a few years ago. found here

Group shot... 24 Bloodletters, Skulltaker and a random Herald.


Same group showing off the swords.


Skulltakers cape... I think he likes skulls... maybe.


A few close ups.

They look nice. Quite a different colour scheme for bloodletters. I like them.

They look nice but they aren't "done" yet... I see no basing, just black disks.

You don't really need basing to be done, it just helps the aesthetic a bit. I really like them

I haven't decided on basing yet. i want something uniform between my chaos and daemons and Im still trying to decide.
