40k-Speedpainting-Challenge: A Battalion of Kasrkin in one Weekend ***COMPLETED***

I can proudly say, that I am finished with the pre-dipping painting. Meaning only Decals are left and then it’s dipping time. I should manage to achieve this before 2400h. So I can let the Dip dry for 18h on finish the models tomorrow evening.

But again, I am getting ahead of myself. So I finished the faces and some details in this one.

Faces of the 3 Sarges and the Prime:

• The base was GW Balor Brown (painted yesterday)
• Lips (also painted yesterday, I think, lost track of time) was GW Bugmans Glow
• Layered with a 1:1 mix of GW Balor Brown and GW Elf Flesh
• Eyebrows and Hair is GW Steel Legion Drab
• Beards are Model Color Flat Brown 70.984
• The blueshade of the shaven beard is Army Painter Soft Tone Wash (from the dropper bottle)
• The wound on the Primes is GW Blood for the Bloodgod

Face of the Psyker:

• The base (again painted yesterday) was GW Bugmans Glow
• Layered with GW Elf Flesh
• Eyes are Army Painter Alien Purple and then highlighted with the same color mixed with white
• The Blood again is GW Blood for the Bloodgod

Top of the Stave:

• Paper is white and GW Ushabit Bone
• Writing is black, duh 😀

Display:

• Base is GW Ultramarine Blue
• Highlight GW Shadow Grey (very old pot again)
• And then white for some details

Next up will be Decals. I decided to go with a symbol from the Emperors Children or to be more precise and old Unity Symbol from the Emperor from a time even before the Great Crusade. I am talking about the Golden Eagles Claw (see below).

Two reasons. First of all the name of these guys will be:

Emperors Finest Droptroops, 101st Screaming Eagles

And secondly I have like a billion of these decals and they look cool. Stay tuned.
