By that sin fell the angels. How can man then, the image of his maker hope to win by it?

Painting Interlude

With work requiring so much writing lately I have taken a brief break from finishing up the Battle Reports to do some painting.  I originally intended to get back to work on the Soul Grinders, but a recent announcement about an 'Ard Boyz style tournament locally has inspired me to get enough points into playing shape that I can participate.

I acquired this model almost 2 years ago, but I just have not felt ready to tackle it yet.  I think now I am ready to give her a shot.  I plan to keep her skin pale white, in contrast to the fleshyness of the rest of my army.  Otherwise, standard colors from my army palette with the exception of the checkerboard legging/arming.

So far I have just about everything, except her accessories, basecoated with some additional work on the claws and checkerboard.

My current plan is to wash her skin with leviathan and then work it up using deneb stone and skull white to a very pale shade.  I want to use the leviathan wash was well to help with the transition from the claws to the skin as well.  The claws will get a leviathan wash, badab lack and then a drybrush highlight of Warlock Purple.

Also, you can just barely makeout the first coat on the armor of Hawk Turqiose which will be my tertiary color for this army (and the color for the third squad of Daemonettes!)  Any C&C would be welcome.

Also, to relax a bit I have painted up 2 of my 3 objective markers from Da Boyz this year.  I really like how these look painted up, even more than the poker chips from last year and the match my army theme as well!
