I ain’t got no time for your Jibber Jabber, fool

I love this model. I love how he’s a gnarly, grizzled, old grease monkey, an engineer, like an older, greyer and shorter BA Baracus. I also love the depoloyable equipment that he comes with, the turrets and the shield generators – although the latter are a little small and look like they will be really easy to lose.

I pretty much stuck to the artwork with this one and tried to carry that over into the turrets. I also had a little play with the Cryptek Armourshade released last year by GW with the Necron release. It’s a very interesting paint and is much closer to a contrast paint than a wash and it has a slightly sticky consitency when it’s drying. But it creates a nice oily look which combines nicely with most silver bases.

This was also a really good chance to have a go with the dark skin tone paints from the Citadel range and I have to say I am really impressed. Painting black skin used to be a bit of a pain trying to mix the right shades of brown but now, using Catachan, Blood Reaver and Knight Questor flesh tones you can get a really good result
