That's meant a level of consistency and more vibrancy to all my models. No more mixing highlights, fingers crossed I don't run out.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-62324291872467663052015-01-14T08:14:10.120+00:002015-01-14T08:14:10.120+00:00It's so differetn to my old 'liver' co...It's so differetn to my old 'liver' colour I'm even contemplating revisiting the original genestealers to 'redden' them up and bring them into line with the current crop. The base edges all need touch ups anyway and it would be rude to have my Vallejo Extra Opaque Heavy Red out and not thin it down and apply to all the limb joints.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-59325960980444319402015-01-14T08:11:46.491+00:002015-01-14T08:11:46.491+00:00I guess I'm my own worst critic!

It'll be on the completed Realm of Battle board so it should look cool. There's still a lot more to do but hopefully it'll be eveything so far and as I'm not intending to add anything else it should be everything I own [except for a bunch of Warriors I haven't decided on yet, whether to convert to Hive Guard or not].40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-85200926138299176052015-01-09T14:50:41.644+00:002015-01-09T14:50:41.644+00:00Never get tired of your scheme Dave.

I'd only worry about such things if I was going for a single miniature competition. Even then, your idea of sloppy is my idea of neat :).greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.com
