Blood Ravens Sgt.

Not to much in this entry. I had planning all week last week and was working pretty hard on my Dragon Con costume every night so I didn't have much time to paint. Students actually come back to school Monday. So, this is officially the last weekend of summer. The Blood Ravens models I have been painting have been left-over odds and ends. I had enough leftovers to assemble a sgt. So here he is


Overall, I'm happy with the look. I have made some great strides on the faces lately by making sure my paint is watery and thin and gradually building up the layers. So, I'm particularly proud of that. The eyes darting to the side along with the skull in the base, gives an "I have a bad feeling about this" imression. While the chapter sigil needs work, I was happy with this little skull effect I saw on the internet and tried to replicate on the model.

Anyway, the only other thing I had time for was to prime and basecoat about 2/3 of a blackreach tactical squad I got from e-bay. I'm looking forward to continuing my experiments with layering with these guys. In addition, I'm going to try and switch from using a black wash to a brown one. Hopefully I'll have some time to paint this week...
