Cheap Win

Felt like the need for a "cheap win"; wanted a model that could be done quickly instead of spending weeks on it. To that end, the Tomb Banshee looked like it might do the trick.

Somehow reminds me of The I.T Crowd

Really simple model to paint, particularly the flowing dress. Just Hexwraith Flame over white. I did try a thin layer of Hexwraith first, and built it up, but had some trouble with that. It's a paint that would take some getting used to, however would be well worth it for any Undead army. Nighthaunt Gloom was layered over white for the "skin", and worked rather well. Those are very good paints for what they do.

The eyes were simple enough: white, with Carroburg Crimson surrounding them. I figured the red would make her look more malevolent. The hair was built up from Jokaero Orange, Squig Orange, Wild Rider Red, Flash Gitz Yellow, Bloodletter (glaze), and Carroburg Crimson. It might have been better to go for a deeper red for the hair, but basically I paint so much red for Blood Angels that I wanted something subtly different. The vest was a mix of purples: Naggaroth Night, Xereus Purple, and some Warpfiend Grey.

Other than a silver dagger, that's really it. Not much to it, but it still took a full afternoon from sprue to finished model. The white paint (Ceramite White) was, as is typical for that paint, fairly wrecked. So the end base coat was a little tacky, and picked up some dust which is visible on the back of the model. Most annoying. Purity Seal should stop it gathering more so easily, but as far as quick & easy goes, I'll just deal with it. Tabletop quality, finished in a single day, I'll take the cheap win and know that I'm able to do it if I really want.

Before moving back to the Aggressors, a little more of the 30k Ultramarine Standard Bearer.

If taken into battle, one wonders how much damage the highly visible standard normally suffers.

Slowly filling in detail for this model. Just want to get it finished really, so I'll probably keep at it before returning to the Aggressors. Might do the cape (not shown) with the airbrush, just for the fun of it.
