Here we are with the work in progress on the Reivers.

Almost there! 

And after a bit of debate I decided to paint them as Ultramarines after I completed the Ultramarine color test . I was quite pleased with that, so the following images will show me following those same steps.

Other details painted.
In the above pic I painted the metal bits, the gold skulls, the red trim on the pauldrons, and the grenades in a few different colors. And I painted a thin line of Pewter Grey along the edges of the black bits (pouches, holsters, etc.). After a correspondence with Da Masta Cheef he reminded me tbat the gun barrels needed to be drilled out (without screwing them up!).

Gun barrels drilled out. 

 Although there isn't that much more to do but a few more details and the decals, I decided to leave all that for Part 3.
