Well, I promised more, so here are the further updates for December.
I continued with Dark Vengeance. Chaos this time. I thought I would enjoy painting these guys, but with the regular chaos marines, I just grew quite frustrated. It was almost as if there was too much detail on these guys, and I just couldn't apply consistent effects or technique. I'm not too happy with these guys. May redo them at some stage, but at least they're ready for the tabletop. Anyhoo:
The Chosen:
And Kranon the Relentless:
The Hellbrute, whom I like a lot more than the other guys. There was enough room to actually get a standard 'armour effect' going on, without a billion and 1 details to break it all up.
Thankfully, that was last of the choas guys that I had to do. Apart from the hellbrute, these guy almost killed my enthusiasm. Fortunately, I still had my Space Hulk Terminators to look forward to. And I tucked into them with Relish. BTW, these guys look a lot brighter than they are...a little over exposure.
Scipio, Omnio, Goriel and Zael:
Valencio, Leon and Claudio:
Lorenzo:
Finally Gideon:
Closeups:
So that was December. A pretty good month in which, apart from 2 librarians, I completed my Space Hulk and also my Dark Vengeance sets. That makes me happy.
