Small Imperial taskforce
Couldn't resist a groupshot even though they were not made to be in the same unit - look good together none the less I think.

Imperial Bastard finished
Fished up the base and took a few pics to night. I'm really happy with the way this model turned out, and tis will not be my last venture into Inq28 land for now. I found it so nice just working on a single mini insted of a unit - all the way up from concept, the converting and getting the paint to dry up the way I wanted.

Bastard details
Still working on getting the Imperial Bastard done - heaps of detail work still need finishing. Slowly getting there and with every bit done, more and more character is added to him.

Color experiments
Not really knowing exactly how I felt about the paintjob so far, I decided to do a bit of experimenting yesterday.
The bronze on the emblem was given a stippling of orange before the final wash was applied - though it washes out somewhat in these phone photos, the effect is quite radical and good. Really adding a second layer of depth - I believe that even in these photos you can see the difference between the arm and emblem, which have otherwise been painted in the manner.
The other experiment took place on the red armour on the left arm. I was trying to use the bold-highlights-washed-down-method, it wasn't really working though as I kept getting either soft pinkish highlights or getting the highlight too red after washing. Then I decided to give the old complementary color a go and added some green wash, initially as shading, but soon I splashed it on the edges/highlights as well - worked a treat I think.

An Imperial Bastard with goldlinings
Wasn't happy with the dark metal bionic arm, couldn't get the right dark color, so I have changed it to a dark bronze instead - well at least it will be once washes and highlights have been applied.

Painting the Imperial Bastard II
Very different way to paint, this one mini at a time. Don't think I have done that since (for a small mini like this that is) since I was playing D&D 20 years or so ago.....shit, old.
I know I've painted a character and the praetorian, but this is somehow different. I'm also trying to make it more messy and dirty than usual. I think it works alright so far, but I'm pretty sure I'll never be the next John Blanche.

Painting the Imperial Bastard
Simply couldn't wait to get this started. However the first few licks of paint doesn't say much.
Metals without and after Nuln Oil.
