"When the Necrontyr shed flesh and left death for lesser creatures, we thought only of freedom from fear and making kingdoms that would never die. We did not think what else immortality would entail. We thought in terms of wars, of destruction, of conquest. But eternity also requires what you would call entertainment.” - Trazyn the Infinite
Technically an Ultramarines successor via the Rainbow Warriors, the Space Bitches are notable for the experimental inclusion of small amounts of Space Wolves gene-seed in their Founding. They are considered genetically stable, incredibly ornery, and exceptionally stubborn. These are all considered to be positive traits in a Space Marine.
I have finally managed to paint the first batch of the Space Bitches! There are seven different colors in the scheme not counting washes and highlights, which made it more complicated than most of what I do. I still want to spray seal the models but that can wait till tomorrow. I would also like to devise a Chapter Insignia at some point.
I still have another batch to do, including a kitbashed Terminator Ancient, but I will probably do something easier for the next project.
Today I tested out my new airbrush on some old models and proxies and I have take aways.
A) The yellow citadel air paints are goopy and need to be well shaken and even thinned a little, even though they're air paints.
B) the citadel contrast paints *do* go through the airbrush, but they're pretty thin and they splatter bad if you're not careful. They're pretty messy, so they'd be great for base coating a single color model... But not a good candidate for air brushing minis in a quartered pattern like the *Howling Griffons* have. Might try the red base coating just on large vehicles, but I'm in the market for a red air paint.
Also painted up the flamer, if anyones
built this model you will notice GW conveniently only
provides one of those tiny pivot pieces in the arm joint
that allows you to connect the gun to the arm, so I
modelled on up so now I can easily change out the
guns...
I can upload the stl somewhere for it if anyone needs it
let me know.
