Bolt Action USMC 1000pts army
Alan E. Pazsitzky (Shotgun Alley to his pals)
Deathguard Green primer undercoat again. Athonian Camoshade wash, aiming at uniform but not being careful early on. Highlight of Zandri Dust and Deathguard Greenmix (about 1 to 4, ZD to DG). Touches of drybrushed on Zandri Dust as dust and dirt.
I loaded a lot of the back of the base with off cuts of metal puddle basing from the models to give it a bit of balance, with the pose being a low run forward. The suggestion on the website is the head facing forward aiming the shotgun, but I kinda accidently slipped it into the pose, as though shouting something back to friends, appealed to me and seems to work.
I overdid the skin, not waiting for a coat to dry before trying a highlight, and it dried with a kind of a crack down his cheek from near his right eye. So… battle damage. Used some Blood for the Blood God citadel paint to cover that up and give him some grit and grimdark character in the bargain.
I chose the Vallejo Flat Brown again for much of the brown and I’m happy with that, but might flip back to the Mahogany Brown occasionally for a highlight during the project.
