Hello fellow painters and paintresses, 😜
In this showcase, I would like to share a recently finished project,
as promised. Before I got the
Gabriel Angelos model I showed last week, I went to my local Warhammer store and got a Primaris Marine on sprue to paint.
I didn't choose a specific chapter but I went with a color scheme that would look nice and eye-catching. The base was made on a 35mm round plinth and was made to look like a muddy wasteland.
The puddle of water on the base was made using
Secret Weapon Miniatures Realistic Water with a little bit of green paint. This was actually the first time I used this product and while it does shrink a lot, it doesn't smell bad.
Below you will find some more WIP (work in progress) pictures of this project.

ReplyDeletehey,i love the style of this. i am going to paint my tactical squad like this. what paints do you use? thx. ;D
ReplyDeleteHi Louis, thank you for your comment and for reading my blog. I mixed the orange base color myself but any bright orange will do! I used a flesh color to highlight the orange, I think it was elf flesh or something. I applied it with an airbrush and used it for edge highlights, scratches and chipping. The white for helmet en pauldrons was based with a light warm grey and was highlighted with pure white. The black trim of the pauldrons is pure black.
DeleteI hope this description helps you with your tactical squad. I'd love to see pictures when you're finished.
thank you very much. i will be sure to buy those paints. merry Christmas, Louis
