I seem to have found a way to production line a bare minimum tabletop standard so I'm feeling more optimistic than before that this project may actually get there. Doubtful I'll hit December but at least I think it might happen at all eventually.

Process recording, more for my benefit than anyone else's:

- Spray Army Painter Pure Red
- Slap Blood Angels Red Contrast paint all over.
- Black Templar Contrast on armour joints and pipes etc. The red showing through on the highlights looks fine on these bits.
- Double layer Black Templar Contrast on the bolt gun stops the red showing through.
- Grey Seer base followed by Aethermatic Blue Contrast for the eyes.
- Pick out the shoulder studs in metallic silver, followed by Gryph-Charger Grey Contrast to give the dark border.
- Silver base with Guilliman Flesh Contrast on top for bronze dangly charms.
- Drybrush silver on the boltgun.

The idea of edge highlighting was dropped as too much effort for these rank and file guys.

5 complete. 35.3% overall finished.

Could be the photos but they look like they’ve got edge highlights to me!

Building done (apart from the Praetor), 46.3%.

Now stuck waiting for a rare combination of daylight, lack of rain and free time so I can do some more spraying!

It's so frustrating isn't it. I've had a backlog of things to undercoat for ages waiting to actually find some black spray and the sun to come out, and now of course it's immediately gone away again.

I'm intrigued, how does this percentage work?

1 point for building a model. A further 2 points for painting. Double value for the fancy Praetor.

'Working' from home afternoon. If I generously call the spray a quarter of the painting then we're over the half way mark at 58.8%!

Also apparently I set the Praetor painting to triple value a normal guy when I did my spreadsheet.

A painting spreadsheet, interesting...... ;)

I’ve not seen this Sprue trick before, I take it they are glued on and allows you to get into the nooks and crannies.

You’ll be ready for the 6th December easily!
