The brown will stay on the higher surfaces, and the blackish color will pool in the crevices. I used two colors of army painter to start it off. I sprayed brown as the base coat and then bone as the second coat. Then the Khermi wash went on. I was careful to put more wash on the lower areas, and a thinner version of it on the hill section. Once that was done I had to dry brush deheneb stone to make the lower portion match my bases, but would have otherwise stopped if color matching was not an issue. <br /><br />The sand on the foam is can be bought at a paint store. It is the stuff that is normally mixed into paint to make a slip free surface.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-30969911037850327712011-06-18T19:28:43.022-07:002011-06-18T19:28:43.022-07:00The rules only say general and two troops, so hope...The rules only say general and two troops, so hopefully it does not have to be a legal Army! I just want a list that is playable with it now. The hazards of painting what you like rather than what is useful I guess. :)John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-43454827886005683092011-06-18T19:07:41.682-07:002011-06-18T19:07:41.682-07:00Don't know the army list overly well having on...Don't know the army list overly well having only played against Blood angels a few times now, but it looks like you have 6 elites and 3 hq's?<br /><br />Does it have to be legal for the Armies on Parade then?<br /><br />Looks magic though man, well done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-78728182558318875982011-06-18T18:45:28.468-07:002011-06-18T18:45:28.468-07:00Well done!
