Got the blues on the power cables and lenses and the various parchment painted which really helped bring the tank into focus. Next up was some sponge weathering to rough in some paint scrapes here and there, then went with some feathered mud spatter along the lower section of the hull. The tracks got some mud wash and dusting as well, and I'm finally happy with the look!
I especially like the tank commander model, though it isn't technically a deathwatch model it fits the aesthetic rather well!

Next up was some work on the Venerable Dreadnought Brother Nihilus, seemed appropriate to get cracking on now that Dreadtober is upon us! Worked up the marble effect on his shoulder pad to match the Land Raider, and got the edge highlighting started - quite a bit of cleanup to do of course but I'm quite enjoying how he's coming along so far!
In other news, as what should come as no surprise to anyone I'm diving in to the Genestealer Cult again now that the codex was released. I've picked up the book and a pair of each of the new Neophyte and Acolyte boxes, and spent some time penciling together a list to work towards.
I have the unbuilt models from the Overkill set lurking in the Closet of Doom, which I'm going to part out and came up with a 1900 point list - the intent is to build something to include the previously-painted Ghosar Cult and end up being a well-rounded 2500 point force. I have to say I was well pleased with this codex after the somewhat lacklustre Deathwatch book, and though I've said on many occasions that I dislike the formation style army building, I will admit that the Brood Cycle and Neophyte Cavalcade are quite fluffy and I am really happy to see the book allows for more integration of Guard/PDF forces. Quite looking forward to getting stuck in with the force, just as soon as I finish off the last of the Deathwatch for the upcoming Armies on Parade deadline!
