Despite just painting a bunch of Skaven in yellow and black, these guys are painted in the reverse order - with the black areas applied first and then the yellows layered on top. With more black than yellow to get through, it just made sense. I've always had a soft spot for Helblasters ever since I was young and used to stare at the pictures in the old 5th Edition Battle Book for endless hours.
It has been a great source of amusement that for some reason, one of the crewmen came out with more than a slight resemblance to Owen Wilson. Maybe it's just the way the hair is painted, but I now know the perfect head if someone wants to recreated Shanghai Noon in a tabletop game!

heh, I have an old Stirlander armed with a blunderbuss that bears a resemblance to (and is thus named) Nick Nolte.
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally your latest painted offerings are happening at the same time that I am starting to read old Warhammer Fantasy books (mostly Chronicles not Age of Sigmar). Nicely done by the way.
