Space Hulk Tactics Hobby Challenge: One step beyond. (now inc. Space Hulk: The Movie....)
Space Hulk - Blue Angels - pics
So the video in the first project entry wasn’t showing properly for some people so I thought that I’d follow up with some still photos.
As a said in the video, these were some of the first miniatures I painted after the 7th Edition Dark Vengeance set, and as I had yet to accumulate at grey plastic mountain at that point I had time to spend painting them and practice some techniques.
Plus, as these were likely to just stay as game pieces rather than being incorporated into a wider 40k army I thought I’d also go off piste – enter the Blue Angels!
I’m a huge motorsport fan so actually used the famous Gulf Racing colours for inspiration

"/>And some examples of some of the bad guys! I experimented a little with trying to apply some gore and goo – the goo being hot glue coated in nurgles rot – whilst I added a gloss varnish as I liked the idea of a wet glistening carapace.
These genestealers were actually incredibly quick and easy to paint, using only washes and dry brushing – my next post will give you a tutorial of how to do this.
