Sylvaneth Spite Revenants

Once I'd finished the initial batch of Blood Angels I moved on to rounding out my Sylvaneth collection. I was lucky enough to pick up 2 boxes of Looncurse when it was released in May 2019 so used the contents of the boxes to expand my collection to over 4500 points.

First up out of the set was to paint up 15 Spite Revenants. These were very straight forward to paint and I got the chance to use Contrast paints for the first time.

The bark was airbrushed Abbadon Black then highlighted with Caliban Green, Warpstone Glow and finally Moot Green. The bark was then shaded with a mixture of Black Templar and Contrast Medium. I then picked out some of the lightest green areas with more Moot Green.

The skin was undercoated Grey Seer and then Aethermatic Blue was applied all over.

The leaves were painted Wraithbone and then various contrast paints were used over the top.

These guys were super easy to paint and great fun!

40k Battles @ Element Games

Photo dump from a couple of battles I had at Element Games (Stockport, Manchester) in Spring 2019. Both were Blood Angels v Khorne Daemons... I lost both but they were great fun!

Blood Angels Redemptor Dreadnought

Every good army needs a dreadnought... so here's the one I painted up for my Blood Angels force. This is the only photo I have and was taken prior to applying the ink wash (which is the final step).

Blood Angels Update

Quick photo dump of some shots from during my time working on the Blood Angels squads. These were mainly from around when I applied decals to all the models. 

Blood Angels Sanguinary Priest

Next up is a Sanguinary Priest. Loved painting this model! It was the first time I experimented with using inks to glaze over highlights - specifically the rest robe. These were airbrushed  Mephiston Red and then I used orange to highlight and purple to shade... and then Vallejo red ink was airbrushed over the top to pull it all together (the bottom picture shows this step).  For my first attempt, I'm very happy with the outcome.
