So my astral knights librarian won the monthly painting comp at my local GW store. I was really impressed by the standard of the young blood entries, the winning paintjob was a very good attempt at radaghast the brown. More after the break...
Having won I have to pick the theme for next month. Being slightly fed up with the parade of power armour over the last few months (I'm as guilty as anyone if not more so) I chose a very broad theme but one that hopefully rules out all forms of marine...
Xeno.
I've already chosen my model. I'm going to paint up Illic Nightspear. I loved the pose of this model as soon as I saw it and who doesn't like snipers?
What would people choose with this theme and any suggestions for making Illic even more cool?
Who doesn't like snipers? Their targets I believe ;) Congrats on the win, well deserved. I really love that mini, one of the few truly great sculpts they have put out in the last 3 years.
ReplyDeleteIf someone paints up a Deathwatch Marine, they are going to hell...
ReplyDeleteFor the colors? Biel-tan maybe with some small thorny freehand on the rifle. OR Maybe he's a corsair?! With that classic RT era blue armour and the tiger striped yellow helmet?
