PAINT FOR THE PAINT GOD!!!
So…First month done!
My plan with this project is to try new techniques. I started
using an airbrush to prime my models instead of rattle cans. This allows me to
prime and/or base coat in my office inside a portable spray booth. I’m also
using the Army Painter Speedpaints to increase my productivity. This decision
came after much thought about using what little free time I have in the best
way possible. As I work full time and run my 3d printing company, I have very little
time to paint. I want to get as much done with the time I have so here we are.
I’m very happy with the results and I think the speedpaints will be a valuable addition
to my hobby tool box. I like the vibrant colours, ease of application and
despite the learning curve, I do save a lot of valuable time.
This portion of the army is as follows:
Tactical Squad – 250 points
1 Assault Marine on Jet-bike – 47.5 points
Total – 297.5 points
Here is the family
photo so far
The jet bike will be added to a full 8-man unit which will
be a thing of beauty on the table top. I like the idea of a mounted assault squad
but wasn’t too keen on the horses as I don’t feel they properly represent the 40K
genre. I think the jet bike captures the chaos feel quite well.
