There has to be a time when you start to (re)paint your army after an influential release such as Traitor Legions (regardless of love or hate for the book). I decided to get some images to my largely underused (not-used, actually) gallery, and now here is one for some constructive criticism.



Below are the notes I kept on colours used (all GW) and the order in which I applied them. The image shown is a test model, which I have been working on a bit since taking the picture. Not shown are the steps of adding Typhus Corrosion and Ryza Rust to some metallic areas and a couple of washed on the Plasma Pistol muzzle, as well as a Straken Green highlight on the green parts of the pads and backpack. The miniature itself was built using a mix of GW/Forge World and Spellcrow parts.
