I'd also picked up Basilicanum Grey Contrast point and was using that to shade the grey areas - adding some stippling to help create the mottled effect.
That Bahama Blue was still throwing everything off not helping me connect with this one yet. But, at least I was getting on with the other parts.
It also wasn't helping that the bases hadn't had any further detail work, even just basecoats on the reinforcement of the mezzanine floor. But trying to fit that in with other tasks was awkward and easy to avoid.
I was starting to love the yellow though, even at this stage when it was rough.
The overall effect was great and as a group I was really enjoying what was coming off my paintbrush.
As an aside the Lancers had been sacrificed at this stage, there was almost zero progress on them.
But they were different colours so it was hard to include them in the batch process. However, the weapons were coming along and for the metallic areas I had done a few bits on the Lion at the same time.
I was also pottering around with various other things. I think I did a darker shade coat on my Leviathan Tyranid Prime, Barbgaunts, Von Ryan's Leapers and Neurogaunt. I'd also been looking at the magnet situation on my Norn Emissary - considering if it was worth making it be the Norn Assimilator too? I mean it's going to be part of my #DreadTober pledge but I want it ready to go as usual.
