Time for the medical staff! Two Apothecaries and a Primus Medicae, ready for the field.

Just as with the Cataphractii last time, the Primus Medicae here was dug out of the cellar after being forgotten for ten years - hence the somewhat janky conversion (and awful barrel drilling). Still, I think he's found redemption now that he's painted at last!

Also, guess who shaded their armour studs and left them to dry and forgot to thin the shade paint first? Yeah. I, uh, am going to quietly hope no one looks at the MKV guy too closely! On the other hand, the MKVI guy I am very happy with, I think he's got my best white cloth yet.

Sometimes, we're our own worst critic. They look amazing to me! Your whites are crisp, the models are characterful, and the detail makes the model interesting. And extra kudos for getting something out of the pile of shame finished!

Plasma TSS up next! I am replacing this darker blue (also seen on above MKV Apothecary and Tartaros) with a different recipe later as I think it's a bit too dense, but I am rounding it out first with this unit and their transport (soon done - I did most of the blue on it a while ago).

You might wonder why they all have orange beaks like Donald Duck, but it's in a fact a canon scheme:



That I thought would look nice to set my support squads apart from everyone else.

The plasma is an experiment. This is a simplified version of Duncan Rhodes' method, and it's not bad, but I don't think I've quite "struck gold" yet like I did with the melta earlier.

I just realized you're doing your photos in the fridge. Great light in there!

Hey if it works, it works. I thinking making jokes about his photo setup would just be cold.

Someday I'll get a better lightbox, but it's surprisingly not that bad after tweaking my camera settings a bit to compensate for all the blue light!

And a second Rhino, to bus the plasma boys above around!

I tried a different approach to the lanterns this time, but I think the old one was better - this unevenness might work better if there had been an actual flame in there, but experimenting's the way forward.

Nice rhino
