Heresy Era Imperial Fists – Assault squad painting continues…

Not as much free time today as I'd hoped, but still managed to make some pretty decent headway towards getting the assault squad done.


Turns out the "blacking in and cleaning up" step is definitely going to be the long pole in this paint scheme, taking care not to inadvertently paint over any of the 'good' areas of yellow meant this stage took almost as long as the entire yellow stage up to this point. Oof!


Ended up mixing up a 50/50 bottle of shadow grey and black to use to highlight the black areas, followed by a stone grey spot highlight. Far less drastic than what I'd done on the test models.


Worked a little on the embossed legion symbol on the left shoulder pads, and went with a darker metallic on the various weapons and piping.


Finally I laid in the light blue areas on the eye lenses, power weapons and hoses. Still need to wash and highlight them, but the models are definitely coming into focus now!
