@Gits - I know, but it is still better than the old way I used to do it, covering every inch in badab black, then layering on grey two or three times then highlighting grey, this process is simply faster.
@Zerg - I cover up a lot of the mistakes with camera angles
Update: Base colours applied, next up washes

He's looking good so far! Is that meltagun from the Betrayal at Calth marines? Doesn't look like a standard meltagun. I'm very jealous of your ability to make such subtle highlights on things like the chest eagle and gun casing.

@Zerg - Surprisingly its not from Calth, its from the upgrade sprue from Forgeworld, I suspect the sprue is a HH based one.
Update: marine done, ran into a small issue where I got the heads mixed up and the helmeted head doesn't fit inside the collar, so had to remove a head from the previous marine and swap it around.
First up the new marine
And the redone previous marine

@WarbossDakka - I'm not sold on the pose just yet, he almost looks like a slight reposition of another model which I can't quite put my finger on.
Update; Base colours all applied now
Looking at whats left to paint, I have 5 actual sternguard and a new Cypher model, I was hoping to get them all painted by the end of the year, but things may get a little tight.
