PHASE 10:
Commenced 19 March 2012
The final touches are added by completing the bases. I wanted to continue with the imagery of the scouts sudenly standing up out of cover and letting fly with their boltguns. So for the first time used the WH40K3 boxed set plastic trees. Some rock and grass flock and brushes were added in small quantities to add to the effect. A last wash of Ogryn Flesh Wash to the faces Devlan Mud to the tree leaves and I was done!
I am obviously extremely pelased with the fact that I managed to complete the 2012 LPC vow in time and also very happy with the overall effect.
I am not quite happy the camo cloak and I think much thinner and far more numerous linear pattern would have been even better but I didn't have the necessary thinner brushes nor the time to do it. I also had to consider that this may form the standard for my scout army and so didn't want to put in far too much detail in order to reduce my own work load later.
below are my rpoud scouts displayed amongst some foliage and a five man squad from my old Shadow Guards army in the same display setting to demonstrate the difference in posture, painting and sculpting I have achieved with nearly 10 years between the two sets!!
