Painting: Games Workshop: Warhammer 40k: Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard)/Genestealer cult brood brothers

After painting my Astra Militarum/GC Brood brothers I thought it best to document this quick process I am following.

For these I have gone for an urban look; concentrating on grey.

I have mostly used paints from the Vallejo colour range, unless indicated otherwise

The standard process is as follows:

• Undercoating in grey.
• Paint any leather with Beasty brown (72.043)
• Paint the lasgun/Autocannon barrel in Gun metal grey (Model color: 70.863) and the bayonet in Chainmail (72.053)
• Boots are painted GW Abbadon Black
• Flesh is painted Tan (72.066).
• Touch up the grey areas with Cold grey (72.050) where I've gone over with other paints or where the undercoat hasn't reached
• Cover everything except the flesh in AP Dark Tone
• Once the Dark tone has dried I dry brush Stonewall grey (72.049) all over, then I paint the iconography with the same.
• Paint the bayonet blade with Silver (72.052).
• Then the flesh is painted with Dwarf skin (72.041)
• PVA is added to the base and the base is dipped into fine ballast.
• The rim of the base is painted with GW Abbadon Black

Painting: Games Workshop: Age of Sigmar: Nighthaunt: Glaive wraith stalkers

Following the completion of my Glaive wraith stalkers as part of my February objective I thought it's time that I document the process I follow, although it's similar to the Bladegheist Revenants post, there are some subtle differences

In most cases I used Vallejo game colour paints, where a different make was used it's indicated as such.

I started with a White undercoat

Next I painted the Glaive blades and fencing on the bases with GW Abaddon black

I wanted the blade to look old and rusted so used the following process:

Dark flesh (72.044) dabbed, 
Beasty brown (72.043) dabbed, 
Parasite brown (72.042) dabbed, 
Orange Fire (72.008) dabbed, 
Chainmail (72.053) drybrushed along the edges

Next I painted the glaive shaft with Charred brown (72.045)

The I painted the skull heads and spine spikes with Bonewhite (72.034), after which I washed with AP strong tone. Once this dried I applied a light coat of Bonewhite (72.034)

Next I used White primer (72.002) to go over the areas where the metal colours spilt over (this can take several coats), I also applied White primer (72.002) where the undercoat hadn't quite covered sufficiently

Then I applied AP Green tone on ethereal robes, starting with lots at the top and moving downwards so it thins out as it move down.

Next I touch up the arms with Dead White (72.001) and then dry brush the green cloth with the same white

With the models complete I covered the base in sand, painted the base in Charred Brown (72.045), the edges in black. The, using PVA I stick cotton wool to the base to create a ghostly fog look

Well that was quick...

I have already completed my planned projects for this month...

It seems that a combination of snow days, hobbying when I should be working from home and a simple paint scheme has resulted in the completion of my planned projects way earlier than expected.

Luckily I pre-ordered the Genestealer Cult Clamavus so now that he's arrived he's go straight to the top of the painting pile!
