Hello Dakka, and welcome to the painting Thunderdome!

A good friend of mine (Lord_Lucius09) and I have decided that in an attempt to get all our collections painted, we would do a two week rotation challenge for painting, from near untouched to finished and based. We have chosen to document this as well to not only spur us on, but open up the floor for critiques and comments from the helpful Dakka users and posters. The rules are simple, we choose what goes head to head for painting, and we paint it, within the given time frame, and will post wip pics here. The penalty for failure? We'll.... get back to you on that.

Challenge 1: Cultist (Servants of Decay)



Lord_Lucius09 Will post his soon to this blog

As a side note, if anyone has helpful hints and suggestions to taking good model pictures, please PM me. I would highly appreciate it.

I would be the second half of this little endeavour, but unfortunately I do not have any pics loaded yet. I will post the pics tomorrow and look forward to you comments and critiques.

A mini update. I have been testing out skin colours for the cultists with my very (very) limited skin colour supply. to be exact, I have an old Elf Flesh pot. I R PREPAERD!

Let me know what you think thus far on this guy

Thin it out, its a thick layer on there and i would suggest P3 for a good range of flesh tones. The new GW flesh shade is really good for it. I suggest a thin coat of it if you get a chance to pick it up. I've got a bunch of the new cultists in my guard army.

Thanks! Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to get some. I'm already behind, considering I know what he has done so far.

I tend to try to keep all the paints from one line for ease of one stop shopping.

Here is a pic of them so far. I am gonna base and paint the symbol on their arm when I get five of them done to this point.

C&C welcome
