Here are the photos of the Wraithguard. I had five still on sprues from the Ghost Warriors box I bought last year (suck it, Nick). Since I still have Daniel's airbrush I wanted to try to paint everything separately and they slap it all together once the bulk of the painting was done.   |

Sorry for the poor quality, but here's an update from today.  All the base coats and washes for all five wraithguard are complete. I *tried* to do some zenithal highlighting with the airbrush. If you set them all up side by side, you can probably tell which one I tried painting first. The body was first sprayed with game air earth color, followed by reaper yellowed bone, and finally vallejo game air bonewhite (coincedentally, my nickname in high school). After a satin varnish coat, I applied a brown oil wash.  At first, I was skeptical of oil washes. Gentle-lover Daniel Young, however, guided my through their use on the model to the left (apologies for the quality) and I was quickly converted. The brown wash really brought the 'blending' together and dirtied up the bonewhite. All in all, I made some crazy good progress for one weekend. I wanted to slap on the arms, but I'm still working on the color for the wraithcannon. Following that, all that's left for the models are some line highlights and the bases. Any thoughts on how I should do the bases? |

Secret Weapon touts the oil wash quite a bit. I wanna try. These look fantastic so far.
Have you based any of your army yet?
Less chemistry next time please.

"They're from a bone-desert craftworld. That's not overspray, that's what the base is supposed to look like." - guy who finished basing

I say go with the Boneyard theme + enemies of Slaanesh and have them walking over the corpses of severed penises.

Okay, so the Wraithguard have been fully constructed. All that remains is the gun tubing and some highlights on the teal. I tried highlights on the bone, but they really didn't add much to my already PROFESSIONAL PAINT JOB. It's nigh impossible to see, but I did try some OSL on the spirit stone in the middle of their chests. Covered up by their big stupid guns.   Here's the other part of my March pledge. The masking tape is to (hopefully) minimize the amount of overspray while I'm applying the grey to the underside.  |
