I was able to get some weathering powders on these guys this evening and get them sealed off with a satin finish shot thru the airbrush. I think these guys turned out quite nice, there are another 5 I will add to the army when playing at 2000 points. I used the Secret Weapon Yellow Earth weathering powder pretty sparsely on these guys, I just tried to hit the areas I can imagine their armor collecting a little dirt, their boots, pants and knees go a hit of it too, and to help it blend in I added a dusting to the bases.
The decals were a bit of a booger as the shoulder pads don't lend themselves well to decals. I tried to adhere to the white scar fluff here too. Uninitiated scouts only have the red bolt on their shoulder pad, they are granted the complete emblem when they become a full battle brother. So on the sarge you can see the complete chapter symbol for the white scars and on the scouts I trimmed the decal back as much as possible and painted around anything I couldn't trim to help blend the decal as seamlessly as possible into the armor. I think it turned out quite well.
The camo was a huge pain in the butox. I have never been able to do camo patterns to high standard, but I think I pulled it off here. It took a lot of research to figure out the right colors (as you can see in a previous post) but it paid off. It is so easy with camo to over complicate the pattern, in general the simpler the better.
Well up next is finishing off my oil weathered pred and the first "grey hunters" squad.
