So I got my paints through the post, mail order ftw! :p
so first up I had a go at the "hot" jump pack, at this point I noticed I really should have filed them joins on the packs before I glued them together, ah well you live and learn.
hmm the flash obscures it somewhat, I'll try and find a spare lamp tomorrow and stick my full spectrum bulb in, should be able to get some better pics with that. Still I am reasonably satisfied with the effect. Gotta try these things if you want to get better right?
2ndly
I got the spray gun working pretty well and squirted a terminator with it. It gave a much better coverage with the scab red than when I hand paint it, the smoothness of it was impressive.
However after a while the can got a bit cold and lost pressure. I thought maybe if the can was somewhere warmer it would last longer, but I just ended up with a cold arse. Ah well.
This is Scab Red sprayed over Chaos black with minimal Red Gore highlights and a Badab Black wash. Chest skull and wing bits are done with Snakebite Leather followed with a drybush of Bleached Bone, I think I did it a bit heavy though. The skulls are washed with Gryphon Sepia and the wing bits are washed with Baal Red to tie it to the Torso a bit better.
I think tomorrow I will have a crack at using the Army Painter dip I got ages ago to see how that works, although I think Flesh Tearers may be too dark a scheme for that to really shine, so I may have to paint up a proper Blood Angel marine for that.
Oh and I ordered some Flesh Tearer shoulder pads to bump my Spraypaint to free delivery :p so they will go nicely on my Assault squad when that gets delivered (Wayland games are a bit slow on the dispatch )
Eek 2am, better go to bed :p
