In terms of votes, the Chaplain did a little better than the Assault Squad. Perhaps they were a little two shiny for most people, although I did get some very positive comments about them. However, they were up against some very good models - well done to all the winners. At least I can say mine were all done with the new paints and these were certainly my the best painted models I have ever done. That is probably as much to do with the time and care I have taken over them, as with the new paints. I do now have a lot of the new yellow and red paints, so I should make use of them and get some more Howling Griffons ready for battle.
Whilst finishing the metal on the Chaplain, I was a little unhappy with the overly reddish tint on the Gehanna's Gold colour, so I softened it with some Sepia wash. I was then pleased to see that the gold dry colour is called Golden Griffon. It fitted very nicely!
Looking good and yes get some more Howling Griffons done, I want a cross-store doubles partner at the next 40K tournie, i can field my empire 40K and you can field the marines...so we have 11months to get them done!
ReplyDeleteYou know I had exactly the same thought.
ReplyDeleteWe will have to work out some lists and get some practice games in, but it sounds like fun. I assume it will be 800 pts and the same force selection rules. I will have a think while I am Germany for a few days next week.
We'll need some themed objective markers too, of course!
