Imperial Side Update

May 5, 2019

So for my side of shadowspear to 5k, I settled on blood angels mainly because of the amazing Duncan’s battle ready video for painting blood angels, though it was a tough call between blood angels, Salamanders and Space Wolves.

I started the force off as you would with an imperial Knight i got for Christmas. Next up i traded my chaos from shadowspear with a guy at my FLGS for his shadowspear vanguard marines side of the box.

I also acquired a librarian dreadnought, 10 tactical marines in mk4 armour, 10 man devastator squad with missiles and 10 sanguinary guard one of which will be an ancient. I also got 10 tartaros terminators which may go into my horus heresy iron warriors.

As this was shadowspear to 5k I started with the infiltrators and doing 5 of them. My recipe as previously mentioned was Duncan’s Mephiston red, Nuln oil x2, dry brush Mephiston red but then I dry-brushed again Astorath red. I am really happy with these so far and am looking forward to getting to the 5k mark, if i exclude the terminators then I’m currently sitting pretty on 2188. That’s not including duplicate heroes from shadowspear or the second unit of suppressors. Hopefully this log will help me reach the goal of 5k painted before December.
