Contrast paints part III, the end of the Scythes

I’ve been doing some more experiments with contrast paints, mostly on Space marine models to create battle ready standard for the Scythes of the Emperor chapter.

More Contrast to contrast the last post on the new Citadel Contrast paints

The Jester and the Knight

This week I’ve found two Codex’s at two far away locations in the same city, how weird is that?

Out of all of the cast my favourite character was Thornton
