They way you're doing the white reminds me of how GW used to do it way, wayyyy back in the old days. Always loved that technique.

Ahh, WD painting guides, how I miss you.

I honestly don’t remember any white armor guides specifically. I’m sure there were some, just lost in the fog of history.

Just a quick update since Dakka is being slow and irritating. Reivers are down off the handles, rocked and tufted (along with the 2 jump intercessors) waiting for flock. Put the last 2 intercessors up on the handles, one got his blue clean up pass. Also started on 3 scarab swarms, got their first leadbelcher down.

Dakka seems to be behaving, at least briefly. Time for updates:

Ready to get more basing done. Might pop the scarabs off the pushfit to get the flowers and flock down.


Marines are progressing. Scarbs go quick

Leadbelcher all over.
Rocks on base get grey
Nuln oil for everything.
Steelfang silver on the big orbs, eye, and the round leg joints. I also edge highlight the hard angles on the inside of the wings/carapace.
BftBG on the eye
Tesseract glow on the central orb.
Goblin green the base, tuft/rock/flock as normal.
