Hi everyone I'm back, and this time with no Space Marines!! As per usual I got bored with my current project and wanted something new to paint. So I popped into town, bought some Sull White spray, a 5 man push fit box of Cadians, and a 5 man box of push fit Eldar. I didn't want to spend too much on a whole squad because I knew I would get bored very easily, so I bought the 2 different boxes because they were cheap, and I can easily churn out 5 at a time. First the Imperial Guard. I wanted a simple and quick scheme like my Space Marines commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=picpost&action=display&thread=11885&page=3So just using the White spray as a main colour I came up with this......    I'm very happy with it and he's almost finished, just the battle damage, the base and a few more touch-ups. The Eldar I mentioned will be painted up after these 5, so keep and eye out on here and my blog... spanielspainting.blogspot.com/C&C Appreciated Daniel |

Intriguing...
It actually looks like this may be a way of making white spray have a use... How did you do the material? Is it just a wash, or more? (looks like more...)

I really don't understand how people find doing white difficult when there is a White Spray that pretty much does it for you.
The material was Kommando Khaki painted lightly over the white basecoat, then a wash of Gryphonne Sepia, next a layer of Bleached Bone over the raised areas, and finally a pure Skull White highlight.

Looking good! I agree with you about white primer. I use it on most of my minis, except for large parts that are going to be painted in metallic colors, in which case I will prime the piece separately with black primer.

Awesomesauce... Just pure awesomesauce. I think that these are some of the best plastic Cadians that I have ever seen.

Thanks Trooper glad you all like them... I have good news and bad news..... The good news! I bought a box of Cadian's today and all 10 are made and primed..... The bad news is that I won't be able to paint them for at least another week *looks down at the floor in sadness*. But if you're lucky I might get a couple at least blocked in tonight. Daniel |

Everyone loves double posts  ...   Sergeant and Comms  Plasma and Flamer  Lasguns    Paints are blocked in, so not too much left really, they're quite easy to batch paint. Daniel |

We certainly do love double posts - at least when the painting standard is this good! |

Glad you all like them And I have a little treat for you all...  The Sergeant is taking shape after about 15 mins of work. Just need to touch-up the tunic, finish the face, base and some final last details. Feedback is as usual appreciated, Daniel |

Great stuff. The white undercoat has really brightened the models up.

And hhhheeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeeee they are.....   As you may be able to tell I have the bases left to do and some final details, but they're basically done. I've ordered a Sentinel which should be here this week, so I guess I can safely say that this WILL turn into a Guard Army Daniel |

Sorry for the late reply Major, the Faces are VERY simple, something I've never tried before.
1- Very watered down Bestial Brown wash
2- Either Badab Black, Gryphonne Sepia or Baal Red wash.
And that's it! And then I just do the eyes as normal.
