Grey Knight Justicer Squad
Well this was my first attempt at a display base with a gameable squad. I can't say I'm real pleased with my progress. For some reason I just felt overly rushed. The total time (not including drying times) on the base was only about 2-3 hours, and the squad was only about 7 hours total. Normally I spend almost double that on a single mini. Not real sure why this piece went so fast. The base was sculpted out of sculpy. The log is a real twig repainted. The water, what you can see out of it was an expierement with a combination of techniques. It's basically pva glue then colored layers of blue and brown ink with a few different layers of clear varnish with different shades of thinned green paint mixed in. Being a non-gw color scheme guy, I did the Justicers up with red helms just to be different. I decided to go with metalics instead of nmm mostly because I wanted these guys to look a little weathered, especially the one holding that huge flamer. I mean, they're stuck in a toxic swamp, they're not going to be all shiny and clean. Not my best work, but over all I think the piece tells a story, which is what I think a display base should do. I'll post close up shots of the individual mini's later. Comments, recommendations...
