I was sitting here looking at these figures thinking that I had gotten in over my head. A second system with models that are REALLY hard to assemble. But I just went for it and tried to paint one of the smaller bonejacks.
Click on any of the pictures for a larger version. It took a remarkably short amount of time, and I think the results are pretty damn good.
So here's the play by play:
Prime white gesso.
Black Plates:
-Adeptus Battlegrey
-Adeptus Battlegrey + Black (50/50)
-Badab Black wash
Skull:
-Tallarn Flesh
-Bleached Bone + Water
-Devlan Mud wash
Glowing Areas:
-Scorpion Green
-Thrakka Green wash
Metallic Areas:
-Boltgun Metal or Shining Gold drybrush
-Badab Black wash
I finished with a liberal spray of Dullcote. The basing is white glue with aquarium sand and some fake turf. I had to prime with gesso because it's incredibly humid here. I used Flo-Aid with the Gesso, and it made a huge difference in ease of application.
