Well, the 1500pts force has been picked according to the new codex, and the remaining models are under coated! Step 1 complete!
Next steps will be to silver the weapons and add red trim. After that, if I get time, I’ll add green highlights, flesh for faces and stone colours for terminator icons and purity seals.
Neat, great to see an entire army started, once you have all the details on will you apply a shading wash?
My plan is to phase the painting. First step will be to get red and silver on there, so I’ll have basic tournament compliant 3 colours.
Next step will be to detail and base with green, brown, stone and flesh
Third step will be to dip in quickshade.
Final step will be to add Imperial Fists transfers.
I figure that will get me to a basic gaming standard pretty quickly, and leave the army consistent for the table quite early on.
Neat, one suggestion, put the transfers on before the Quickshade that way the QS will seal and protect the transfers
Really? I was worried that it would dirty up the transfers (particularly with the fists black on brilliant white). I was think apply the transfers afterwards and seal them with a manual touch of gloss varnish.
Ah yeah, I’m into ‘dirty’ figures rather than just off the factory floor type look
Actually, very good call. I keep slipping out of “get em painted for the tabletop” mode, and into “lets add just one more detail” mode instead. Doing the transfer first saves a complete varnishing step, and looks pretty much as good. If I was painting a display army, it’d make more sense (but I probably wouldn’t be quick shading then anyway!). Must stay on target!
