Retro 40k Duck Style
Squads Done!
First squad is now finished. Of note is the Rogue Trader plastic Space Ork, who I added to the squad mainly to help me break up the painting a bit. I’m really pleased with how he came out, so I will start with him.
Skin tone done as per the tutorial below.
Plasma blue effect is simply Contrast Aethermic Blue over my trusty Halfords white primer.
Yellow is Averland Sunset base with a wash of Serpahim Sepia, layered with Yriel Yellow and a final edge highlight of Flash Gitz Yellow.
So here they are in all their finished glory. Having sat in my loft for over 25 years, they have finally gotten the paint job that they so richly deserve!
And just for Lloyd
I hope that you like the updates and I always love to read you comments. I’m not quite sure what is up next, I might have a stab at the next 20 Grots (when I am feeling braver), I also have a special project in the loft but probably need a few more models in the basic force before starting that one.
I’ve been searching for more 1st and 2nd edition models to add to my collection however the eBay prices are pretty steep, so any advice on where to pick up similar style models would be apprecaited.
Thanks for reading!
These are awesome. Perfect 2nd edition feel.
Thank you Sir, any suggestions on what to add next?
The answer to this question is always “Dreadnought”…
