| This thing is really heavy. |
Just for a bit of practice at painting a different basic colour, and to clear off older models, I'm finishing the tactical squad of Dark Angels from the old Dark Vengeance (Sturm der Vergeltung) boxed set.
There are a few gotchas I'm trying to stick to. Firstly, don't really want to go all out on the models, if for no other reason than they didn't age too gracefully. This means I won't be too perfectionist, but will use them for a bit of experience with green. I'm also not going to paint the bases. I intend to sell them off once done, just to clear the shelf, and this will allow anyone to base them to an existing army scheme should they wish. The models are push-fit, and the sculpts suffered from bad quality when being made. They were only intended for an intro box, but no amount of careful painting compensates for some of the issues. Another reason not to care so much about the result and only go for "table-top ready".
Still some details to go, but the last five marines should be ready in about a week. I'll be glad to have them done, as for whatever reason it's a struggle to paint them and I'm eager to start something else.
-- silly painter.
