Also got the first layer of red on the bikes, and about to do the last bit.
Weapons are going to be a pain, as I’m out of rubber gloves, and there’s not much to hold. Think I’ll dig out the blu-tak, try sticking them down on my palette pad whilst I blitz their Grim Black.

Sticking here to amaze myself with all that progress!

Cataphractii Grim Blacked. Was pretty good fun doing, but partially dreading the noodly detailing to come.
Also, as we approach half the year past in 22 days? I should have all my Heresy stuff done, even if I build the last 20 MkVI.
Got a selection of weapons to arm them with, including but not limited to Plasma Cannon, Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer and Heavy Bolters, as well as Plasma Guns, Volkite Chargers and Flamers and Rotor Cannons. Almost certainly doing a unit of Plasma Cannon, because that’s just a sickeningly hilarious amount of firepower.

It can feel like a chore. The Rhinos and Jetbikes took me much longer than I expected, as my enthusiasm has ebbed a bit. But “little every day” has seen me through, even if it was just picking out a bunch of rivets.
It also helps that living on my own, I can leave my paint table out letting me see my progress as it comes along.
Broke out the coppery/brass paint and did the Multi-meltas. Also finally did the barrels on my Melta squad whilst I was at it, and they look much more the part than just being silver.

I’m reminded I’m now just a Landraider Proteus and a 10 man Cataphractii Squad away from finishing my entire Heresy Dark Angels force.
In terms of future purposes, I’ll be ordering a Command Squad next Friday, and a box each of the Astartes flyers for Legions Imperialis, which I’ll take custody of the week after, on 29 June.
And for future planning? My trip to Orkney is rapidly approaching. Only away for four or five days, but I still need to think of something hobby I can do whilst on my travels.
Painting is out, as I’m flying. Can’t take paint pots in hand luggage, and I’m frankly dubious about packing them in any potential hold luggage. Likewise for tools and glues.
I could pack my Astartes book and just do random Army Lists. It is hobby, but hardly productive hobby.

Just needs the red top coat and the Heavy Flamers picked out, and calling it done.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Landraider Proteus finished. And I’ve realised I now have zero Heresy models at least not partially painted.
Just the Cataphractii to go, and they just need metallics, wash and red.

There’s a lot of it. Like, lots and lots and lots. So much, I don’t actually know off the top of my head how much.
But with this tutorial? I should be able to smash through it in relatively little time. Already got the Mahogany Brown, and plenty strong primary colours in the Magic Box O’Stuff.
Pretty much all I need to pick up are some cheapo “don’t mind if they’re wrecked in three days” brushes, and maybe three cans of black spray.
