(I got him a Crusader to replace the Matilda I shredded with a 50mm AT gun in our last Chain of Command game before lockdown. Because I&#8217;m petty like that.) And seeing as he was stuck in the middle of an Imperial Fist painting spree, and all of us stuck in our houses because of isolation, we decided to jump on and assist as morale support\/hangout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as part of this, I got to finish off my Intercessor Squad! You can see them arrayed above &#8211; entirely illegal in 40k, probably not great in Killteam but also a fun different thing to paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1703\" height=\"1277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201010_221748311.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201010_221748311.jpg 1703w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201010_221748311-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1703px) 100vw, 1703px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The final three figures I stuck on some female marine heads from Statuesque, just to add a little variation to the squads look. These heads are lovely &#8211; cast in metal rather than resin, covered in hair styles and biotics to make them look like &#8220;female Space Marines&#8221; as opposed to &#8220;Female space marines&#8221;. In other words, they fit perfectly. I had great fun painting the lady with cornrows and I think she&#8217;s my favourite in the squad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Squad Leader on the other hand&#8230; I&#8217;m not quite as keen on? When painting her face, my attempt at a new flesh tone came out very dark, almost covered in ash. So, working from references of soldiers post-explosion, I decided to add a few additional touches of Blood for the Blood God (focusing on the forehead and the nose) and make it seems like she&#8217;s just had her helmet blown away by some high explosive blast. I&#8217;m not sure the effect works, but it definitely has a look to it that makes her really stand out from her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>So what&#8217;s next? Well I have my WW2 brits on the go, the Enforcers need building there are more modern miniatures to finish and I do actually have my hero character to finish off in the same colour scheme&#8230;<\/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_20201011_220026115-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201011_220026115-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PXL_20201011_220026115-scaled-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh and I started assembling this Dark Imperium set I have.
