WIP: Blackstone Fortress Hostiles - Part 5


Blackstone Fortress Chaos Space Marines WIP

This week I continue to battle on through the Chaos Space Marines for Blackstone Fortress.  I've come to the conclusion that I really don't enjoy painting them for one reason or another.  Not really sure why exactly.  For example, during one of my painting sessions this week, I decided to spend my time cleaning up the hobby space instead of painting.  A clear stalling tactic!  heh.

I spent a little time trying out some sort of "Eye of Horus" thing on the left shoulder pads.  Not sure if it stays, but I'm starting to like it.  I'm thinking it'll get a gloss coat after the flat lacquer is sprayed on the whole model.

More highlights this week on the reds, gold trim and steel colors.  The leather belts and holsters are basically done too. I'm sorta picking away at these guys...I mean its just silly how long I'm taking to complete just three models.  But in the end I'll get them done.

 I'm working on orange "chaos' plasma here...nice to try something different.  I laugh at my self a little though.  Feels so awkward after painting blue plasma on my marines and elsewhere for so many years.

Work on the Hammer.  I'm trying a little gold inlay.  Still need to clean up a couple of the highlights, and shade under the hammer head.

The proud trio is coming along well, if slowly.  I'd like to say they'll be done next week but they have defied my every expectation so far.  I hope I do better with the chaos cultists 'cause there's a ton more of them.

Stay safe out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
