The black is simple and easy to do, the red arms help them to really stand out, while the flash of tan around the edge of the shoulder pads is a nice contrast to the other colours. It&#8217;s also a nice number of colours &#8211; not so many that each figure takes too long but not too few that they look unfinished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also did a figure that has been sat in my collection since I grabbed it from a friend&#8217;s collection as they were getting rid of it. The Assault on Black Reach pilot is a really good figure and although some of the details are a little softer compared to the more modern sculpts, he&#8217;s still a cool little guy. I&#8217;ve painted him up as a slightly suspicious Imperial agent that could be used either for Killteam as an objective or end up in the underhive for Necromunda. Blood technical paint is a heck of a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201005_230052475.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201005_230052475.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201005_230052475-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday&#8217;s painting saw me do the first three of the bare-headed Marines. I&#8217;m actually really happy with how the faces came out &#8211; the washes and hair colours worked well, while the details like studs and scars were nice to pick out. The only thing I&#8217;m not keen on is the colour of the flesh &#8211; under the lightbox it looks very yellow. I think I&#8217;ll go back and hit it with a few light highlights, just to make it look a little less yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201006_221552203-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201006_221552203-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201006_221552203-scaled-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up for the marine project is the last three Intercessors and the Cypher character I picked up.
