In addition to the leviathan I finished on Friday (for my 30k thousand sons, but for now I'm also going to use it as a red corsairs leviathan, so the decals stay off), I did a test model for my GSC neophytes/Astra Militarum indigan praefects/chaos cultists of tzeentch, and I'm not I'm not super sold on it, honestly - can't put my finger one what it is, but something just feels off about it. Maybe the grey armor is too close in color to the gun/knife? Maybe the gloves need more definition? Also am about 50% done with my final (for now) knight titan - his armor panels are airbrushed, his metallics are all painted and washed, he just needs a necron compound drybrush across 90% of the model and the gold trim painted on his armor, and he'll be good enough for table top (then come decals, aka the fun part).

I like the color of the armor, is that using contrasts?

Yup, that's basilicanum grey over a grey seer undercoat, then drybrushed ulthuan grey. I'm a big fan, I was able to knock out the armor on the full 10 man squad in like...maybe 15 minutes? Now the cloth and weapons are just taking a lot longer.

#squadup Pretty happy with how these guys came out - one of those units that didn't feel right until the very last brush stroke. I kept questioning my color choices throughout the entire process, but glad I stuck with them in the end. Might swap the stripes on the shoulder pads to mephiston red to tie the secondary color in with the armor, what do you guys think?

Basecoated these guys back in 2018 for the team tournament Kyle, CJ, Daniel and I played in at Adepticon - but they lacked depth and detail until now! Very happy with how these turned out, using them as cultists with brutal close combat weapons for my thousand sons army that I plan on bringing to the Dojo tournament on the 24th. Up next, same treatment for my tzaangor horde - washes, highlights, and details still need painted.

What's your 1K Sons list look like?

What's your 1K Sons list look like? Battalion with double exalted sorcerers, 2x10 cultists, 30 tzaangor, shaman, 9 skyfires, then a supreme command with 2x DPs, ahriman, and magnus. More fun than fluff, but it does have some teeth in the form of 10000 smites per turn and a big blob of teleporty tzaangor.

I love this white. You've got everything finishing so evenly. Are you doing celestra->ulthuan->white?

It's ghost grey Vallejo primer with a grey Vallejo primer 45 degree zenith and then white scar air 90 degree zenith. Agrax watered down in the recesses and then white scar edge highlights. Figure for the rank and file I'll probably do apothecary white contrast over the primer layers and then drybrush with praxeti white to bring it back up, keep it easy.
