I've been pretty busy recently with work but still managed to crank out a few new figures despite that. I was just rubbish at setting up the lightbox to take pictures of them until now. So this is what I've been up to recently.
I have a new army project that I've been working on and off with for the past few months; Warhammer 40k Grey Knights. So far there's not a lot that's finished but I have quite a few bits that are half-complete including a character and a Stormraven gunship. In between getting ready for beta and various other distractions I've managed to finish a Terminator squad and a Razorback tank however.
WHen I started painting these guys I wanted to try out some new techniques and really make them pop. I didn't want to settle for simply painting them as flat metal but I also knew I'd never be able to get a complete army done in a non-metallic metal style. Eventually I came up with a compromise, I'd try and paint them using a 'true-metallic metal' technique that borrows the contrasts from NMM but uses actual metallic paints as a base. I was also experimenting with an airbrush that I'd got as a birthday present. New army, new painting technique and equipment I've never used before - what could go wrong?
Well as it happened practically everything did. I really messed the Terminators up and the Razorback took a lot of rescuing. I'm really not happy with the way that either turned out but I got them finished despite that and will explore different ways of getting the result I want on future units.
