I was very excited for this team as soon as it was announced. Thrilled to knock them out as soon as I could: and in about a week. Used the same technique I used on my Leviathan Tyranids, but I did punch highlights up by an extra step. I think the glowy green and wet pink parts are the most effective.
I took a crack at these thinking they’d paint quickly: I was right! Something’s up with the Dullcote I have that makes it less satin than I’d like: I’m trying out some AK Ultra-matte here, and it’s definitely WAY more matte than I’d like.
Painted the Kill Team Equipment because that seemed like the thing to do. Went quickly, no complaints!
Spearhead sees some action at the game store so I was eager to hop on the new box. Very, very happy with how these game out.
I’m really satisfied with how these models came out… but something about them photographed kind of poorly. So poorly, in fact, that frustration over it kind of killed me posting here. I’m pushing through, posting them, and moving on, though.
The special characters, who aren’t just Gunners/Heavy Gunners took 3 weeks to get done… the gunners too a week. :sigh:
I painted up a Minotaurs Intercession Squad for Kill Team two years back, but with the new Kill Team edition conflating the Intercession Squad and Strike Force Justian into the single Angels of Death list… I had some gaps in option coverage. So I knocked out the three models I needed: a Captain, an Eliminator, and a Heavy Intercessor.
I magnetized the Sergeant for obvious reasons.
Because I had so many arms, I decided to make a little tree to hang them off of. I had a basic little shape but immediately decided to overcomplicate it. (The skull and base aren’t mine but the rest is.). I’m not competent enough for cables, but that’s what green stuff is for.
I’m too hyped about these guys to wait for them to be painted: these are my Wyrmblade Cult Agents.
The Sanctus Sniper is the most impressive I think
I also think the Kellermorph is rad. Hard to see but he and his pauldron have forehead ridges.
This guy is supposed to be a Locus but I don’t know if he works as it. Still cool. He’s got a monocle.
The Sanctus Talon feels like the laziest of the bunch, but probably isn’t.
Not quite the last of the Neophytes: one guy broke while priming and has to wait.
First of the metamorphs, though.
Current batch is 8 Acolyte/Metamorphs: once I power through them, it’ll be a downhill coast of a half-dozen more + cult agents.
Progress meter:
