Painting Update #3

And that’s the spraying of the hull finished! Next up – detailing the metallics (silver and brass), maybe some hazard striping, then oils and pastel-powders – oh, and the engine parts, mustn’t forget those! Thanks for looking! Advertisements

W][P Throwback: W][ld Child

Still no further painting updates, so here’s a throwback WIP of the Wild Child, the heavy hitter from Kallatar’s Ordo Xenos retinue. Motivated to build a ‘Jacket’ (aka Edge of Tomorrow), I took the best parts of the otherwise awful Centurions, and jammed a pair of Dark Eldar Witch legs in there: One of the […]
