Shoulder Pads and the Wonders of Off-White

By -

Good Evening Everyone, 

Well the paints have finally come out of storage and my someone-else-painted Space Marine Primaris models have now begun their slow conversion from Dark Angels on night world operations into the 4th Company Coi'ti Castellans. 

After waiting in vain for more paints to arrive at my local wargame and hobby supplier MIB Models (http://www.mibmodels.co.uk/) obviously thanks to Games Workshop paints popularity, I decided to bite the bullet and crack on with the Vallejo paints already in my possession.

Therefore, with 1 coat of Off-White paint added before the almost nightly lockdown rowing machine exertions and 1 coat of paint added afterwards, I have been amazed at the models conversion from brooding night time spectres into poor imitations of Tenebrae's wonderful paint scheme. However, like all things, I just need to keep practicing and I must admit that I am loving the 40k-ness of the new scheme compared to the old which I think has breathed new life into the models as I hope you will see below:





It's quite a change isn't it?

I'm interested in hearing what people think of it in the comments below 😀

This has been in slight contrast to my friends and colleagues of the Coity Castle Gamers which have focussed their 2020 attentions on painting (an area in which they are much better than I 😄): Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard – 20 x Armageddon Steel Legion Troopers, a Leman Russ Punisher, 2 x Armoured Sentinels, a Valkyrie, 3 x Ogryns and 3 x Bullgryns. Space Marines (various Chapters) – A Blood Angel Sanguinary Priest, a Dark Angel Interrogator Chaplain, a Primaris Apothecary, a Dreadnought Librarian, a Death Company Dreadnought, a Landsp

Following 17 months of forgetting to remember to remember that I was to post regular updates on my many, many wargaming projects (please see point 3 in my original post 😉) I decided to invite a friend to help. Can I therefore please introduce our new Author, Tenebrae , who has kindly / foolishly agreed to help motivate me post more regularly / at all 😀 Here's to new beginnings!
