Curdled Milk

I am taking a short break (should be back to Space Hulk in a few short days) in order to paint up a figure for my local GW store. They are trying to collect 1000 space marines from the various non official chapters. I have decided to give them one of my home grown space marines the “Sons of Dorn”.

He is mostly done. I am getting ready and in some cases have already started putting down the details. I will post better pics when it is done.

Kind of finished a red test for the terminators and I think I found what I am happy with. The basecoat was Mecharite Red (foundation paint) mixed with a touch of beasty brown (vallejo game color). First highlight was scarlet red (VGC). Second highlight was Gory Red (VGC). Third highlight was bloody red (VGC). A final watered down highlight of fiery orange (VGC) was applied sparingly. I gave it a final wash of Baal Red (GW wash).

I think it has achieved the red I was looking for. It still needs to be smoothed out more (so yes it isn’t 100% done) but the general idea is in place. Now I can go ahead and start assembly line painting the rest of the Blood Angel terminators.

Finished cleaning and assembling all of the figures last night. I have some of the door plastic holder to file down but I am ready to prime and start painting. I am thinking about priming black now and then for the blood angels putting down the first layer and shading using an airbrush. We will see how that works. I hope to start working on them by next week at the latest.
