I got 10 legionaries sitting there built from months but I decided to paint one up today for fun. Should I introduce a secondary metallic like gold or copper? They're going to be word bearers. Might try freehanding the weird little circle markings or text as well.

because there are no sacred cows or space marines. It's the same reason AoS tends to get nicer sculpts that break away from the established legacy lore, whereas 40k seems like a coinflip every other release.

I got burnt out yesterday after painting 6 days a week for hours for a whole month almost exclusively on Orcs.

I told myself I would take a break today but after some self study, gaming, and light exercise I got really bored and picked up this legionary I built months ago. It was so much fun painting something other than orc sking and weathered metal.


I didn't use wash for the armor and I like it alot. No reapplication of the basecoat and waiting for wash to dry. added a little bit of evil sunz scarlet to the WB red I used as a midtone and using AP The Darkness to wetblend the black shoulders and weapons a little bit. sorry for the blog post but breaking the monotony really reignited my passion.


is there too much silver? Should I introduce some copper gold to the knee or shoulder or other accents?

I keep my old shitty minis to remind myself of how far I come. At the very least I got pics if I ever want to repaint them,but I would sooner just buy an updated sculpt
