Well I’m feeling a little better and did some more painting today, finishing up a unit of Grave Wardens for my Death Guard:
Unlike the autocannon guys, I put these through the light booth for a brighter picture.
Otherwise, they’re almost entirely the same process. I did try a bit of novelty in the metals, playing with some darker metallic copper colours (ProAcryl Dark Bronze and Army Painter Roguh Iron) but I ended up highlighting both with Vallejo Copper anyway.
I’m experimenting with mixing different metals together to get a paint that behaves the way I want (Vallejo Metal Colour is too runny, the others are too thick) but at this point I might just have to accept that I hate painting metallics and be glad I never got into painting Iron Warriors.
I’m following these up with some ten flamer-armed Deth Guard I built a little while ago, and tried to get them done today but got bogged down - once again - in the metals.
For now, five off the pile.
EDIT: Oh hey, I’ve painted 100 models this year. Neat!
