Been a little bit since I last posted here, but I've not been idle. Not entirely, anyway. Work has been getting in the way, along with some other side projects, so the painting has been slow recently. It should gear up this week though, so maybe I can get to that spray gun soon.
Anyway, a picture of some changes are show below.
I'm mostly done with the Death Company first armour highlight (blending Eshin Grey), and have started on some more solid highlighting (still Eshin Grey, but sharper lines on appropriate edges). I've also started on some more base colours - nothing special to write about yet, just groundwork to make it look a little less black - also helps give the model some form, which just helps motivation to paint more.
I've started on some rope on a couple of jump packs. Actually, I mistakenly glued the wrong top/bottom components together - I figure they're just sharing it. Anyway, White Scar is being used to pick out the rope, and I intend to cover it with Yriel Yellow next. The white also helps the yellow come out more; yellow on black just doesn't quite work, and I want it fairly bright. Later shades will darken it again, so the end result won't be so vibrant.
I'm also slowly getting through some of the Dark Angels on the desk. They're up to the final armour highlighting stages now, and then it's onto some of the details.
