Finally, the new 40K has arrived! 8th edition looks very promising, hopefully next week I have my 1st game.
I have not really played 40K since 5th edition (really did not like the direction the rules were taking).
I was also very curious about the new Marines. So without any further blah blah, here is my 1st Primaris Marine after some serious speed painting.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/Primaris_Intercessor_BA_1.jpg)
Primaris Intercessor Brother Marine of the the 2nd company, 7th squad.
Right out of the box, only the head is an old Mk VI “Beaky” helmet. There was a lot of talk about head swaps, so I wanted to try it.
The Primaris are great minis, but are rather static, they are not as pose able as the older plastic Space Marine kits. Even the shoulder pads are fixed!
And the always asked for comparison picture:
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Intercessor_BA_1_comp.jpg)
Tanith Guardsman, Primaris Marine, Grey Knight and Eldar Ulthwe Guardian.
and as always more on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/space_marines.html

Lovely paint for a quick job :o
The Primaris marines look so much better than the normal marines... It's almost like GW suddenly realised how to make space marines... I am really looking forward to mine arriving :)
-
So true, I am really happy with the minis so far!
The rules seems also after years of suffering finally be in good shape.
The core rules fit on 8(!!!) pages.
:)
-
I think that the way the rules have been written will really speed up and simplify the game... which I am sure will be appreciated by the vast majority of players.
Just a quick question, did you paint the weapon/back pack before or after you glued them to the miniature?
-

All glued together prior to painting.
-
Großartig! The beaky helmet makes him look even better
-
So they are 40mm?
-
Feet to eye around 38mm.
Overall including gear 40mm, including base 44mm.
I love it! ;) The scale looked IMO finally right in comparison to Guard humans!
Just remember the bulked up Arnold Catachan fighter, their arms were naked as big as an armoured SM!
-
Uffdada! He's big. Pretty big. Not really sure whether I like that. Are the new marines even bigger than terminators?
But apart from that, it's a lovely paintjob and you gave him a beakie head (where is that from?) - so what's not to like.
-
I think the beakie helmet really makes this look great
-
Damn and blast I'm going to have to buy some now.
Great job. They do look 'right' being so big. They should just phase out all the old models. Marines are meant to be 7ft tall supermen after all.
I've ordered the rulebook but now I'm toying with buying the starter box!
-
Nice work, the head swap looks great. I'm still amused that GW refuses to admit that the Primaris are nothing more than (finally) properly-scaled marines that match their fluff sizes, and has instead come up with some very, very silly backstory fiction for their sudden appearance. I mean yeah, they couldn't just outright declare all the old models were undersized and outdated without triggering a mass exodus that would have made Age of Sigmar look successful, but I'll bet we see a lot of new Primaris sculpts in the near future and fewer and fewer "tiny" standard marine figs coming out during 8th as they wean people off the shrimps.
-
The larger size does give them a clean look. I don't do 40k or have any interest in the GW fluff but even I knew the Marines were supposed to be bigger than normal humans. The older smaller Marines will not be totally obselete though, they can have another lease of life next to GZG sized 25mm SF miniatures. Not for "official" games in GW stores though I guess
-
Beautiful... always beautiful work.
-
... Are the new marines even bigger than terminators?
Yes!
Damn and blast I'm going to have to buy some now.
Sorry! ;)

Absolutely, finally they look right. I am also very curious I they let the small Marines fade out over the years!Nice work, the head swap looks great.

To be honest I like the backstory so far.
OK it is a bit strange to think that somewhere in the last 10.000 years somewhere in hidden Mechanicus vaults some super duper Primaris Marines were dormant while the imperium was besieged from every side.
For me the reappearance of Guilliman and the Eldar twist made it all cool again.
-
Very nice! Liking the storyline advances so far as well. That's a heck of a paintjob for quick - it'd take me ages. I've been trying to decide which chapter to do my Primaris marines as, and this has me leaning towards Blood Angels. Would love to know what paints you used if you have the time.

Sprayed Black, then Khorne red from an upped angel.
After that some Mephiston red, bolt gun metal and dark grey.
Nuln Oil wash.
Repeat Mephiston red, bolt gun metal and dark grey.
Edge hughlights in white.
Done! ;)
-
Thank you :D
-
(http://www.adpublishing.de/Primaris_Lieutenant_BA_1.jpg)
And the second one, another minor conversion.
This time I swapped the head for a Blood Angel again, I also added another pouch pack with gold droplet, a droplet to the right shoulder pad and a chalice to his right gauntlet.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Lieutenant_BA_2.jpg)
And since some asked about a pic with a terminator...

Beautiful paint jobs on the new Primaris marines.
Regarding the "correct" size of the marines, some of you might not remember any more that originally marines were just normal humans slapped with power armour and that gave them extra stamina, strength etc. They were not supposed to be any bigger than normal humans without power armours. Then the story line took on the superhuman marines but one could say that's just Imperial propaganda and epic legend about things that happened 10K years ago (that's the HH events) and now the same heroic legend is kept alive by the winning side about their superhuman heroes from the stars... ;)
Okies, I like the new Primaris marines too ;)
-
I was tossed up between red and yellow and almost decided to do mine as imperial Fists..
After seeing yours I am still undecided..
Very nice Angels you have here. Great balance between grimdarky and vibrant.
-
And the always asked for comparison picture:
It's all I ever wanted!
...I am nothing if not easily pleased
-
Discussion is a bit pointless, if you can create 10k custodes you can also create some bigish marines, also the custodes were created during the unification wars when the imperium didn't had all the resources they have now.
Still the story would have had sense if the ubermarines were created just now thanks to some new info given by Girlyman upon his resurrection.
-

Go for red, yellow is IMO really painful...

I have always felt Marines would be cooler as vast slabs of vat grown muscle.

Like Ahnold on steroids. *More* steroids. Gothic hypersteroids from the grim darkness of the far future.
-

;)
Paradoxally thats the exact reason I want to paint some Imperial Fist.
Thats one of my most liked colours since my Epic Space marine days around 2004-5 and my skills were unsatisfactory to paint me Imperial Fistmen I would be happy with..
Thats why they are still so tempting now.
-
They are very nice.
Can you swap all the heads? I hope so as my existing ones tend to have mark 6 heads.
Strangely mine would be blue...
-

Yes!
Maybe not on the captain and jump pack primaris, since they have an armour "dome" above the helmet.
-
Can't wait for mine now to arrive at my doorstep!
-
Agis, just amazed how fast and with what quality you are pounding out these big marines... :o
Great work... o_o
Cheers,
Don
-
Those are great, I've never appreciated the Flesh Tearers colour scheme before! You're making me impatient for my own to arrive!!
-
those are glorious and its awesome to see the regular marine flesh heads fit brilliantly.
do you know if the regular shoulder pads and theme pack shoulderpads will fit on these? and how do the hands compare to regular marine hands?
-
From what I understand, heads and pads will fit but little else is compatible.
-
The single part kits may or may not have separate shoulder pads - but the "pads and helmets" are indeed supposed to be the same size as normal marines.
-
Well, once I am on it...
;)
-

Yep... that :o ... I got a bit ahead of myself there... I know that there are plans for multi-pose squads that will enable you so swap components (heads and shoulder pads) but obviously, they are a future thing :(
Having seen the sprues, a lot (if not all) of the arms have the pads welded on so you would need to cut them off if you wanted to swap the pads.
-
excellent work on them so far. I really like your paint style.
-
Yes!
Maybe not on the captain and jump pack primaris, since they have an armour "dome" above the helmet.
Captains dome is easily removed and normal heads work on him then.
Jump marines are more troublesome.
-
The Primaris are great minis, but are rather static, they are not as pose able as the older plastic Space Marine kits. Even the shoulder pads are fixed!
These are starter set miniatures. They'll be followed up by another version of the kit which is more complex to assemble, if the Age of Sigmar starter set Stormcast and Bloodbound are anything to go by.
Nice work on the red! You've nailed the red.
-
3rd Primaris, Ancient with Banner. Another minor conversion. Again a head swap, extra grenades and a wing on the right shoulder pad.
With this model some extra effort was used, hopefully it shows.

That sigmarite head is perfect

That sigmarite head is perfect
Its Blood Angel head :>

Ah fair enough that explains why it fits so well!
They all look the same to me.
-
To be honest Sigmarite heads are much better made, more delicate and better sculpted.
But those Blood angel heads are more crude and fits marines well.
-
For me, Agis, the 40k-stuff you made is outstanding. Your best work. Quality like Stonecoldlead's work. I think you really love these figures, right?
-
Yup, the minis ring all the right bells with me.
-
Yup, the minis ring all the right bells with me.
You have made a marvellous job of them. I really like the look of these and although I abandoned 40k several decades ago I really wouldn't mind picking a few up for skirmish gaming. I can't quite shake the feeling that they will look odd next to other 40k figures though.

Shadowar:Armageddon is a skirmish. Great to get some figures and use all your great terrain.
-

LOL, completely the other way around for me. Finally a (Primaris Marine) looks right while standing next to a Catachan Jungle Fighter! ;)
-
Always a joy to see your minis!
-

Yeah, I've been checking that out though would probably just do my own thing rules-wise. Other than a handful of figures I sold all my space marines and Imperial Guard years ago but I kept all my Eldar.
LOL, completely the other way around for me. Finally a (Primaris Marine) looks right while standing next to a Catachan Jungle Fighter! ;)
I do know what you mean with that example!
-
Looking great Agis!
Blood Angels are my second favorite chapter.
I started converting my Captain last night. Used a Space Wolf head and Terminator shoulder pad for him, so those seem compatible too. Had to do quite a bit of grinding to put the shoulder pad on. Can't wait for the modular figure set.
Looking forward to seeing more.
~Eric
-
As everyone has said. Beautiful as usual. Nice job Agis. Just opened my box last night after not buying 40k in ...a very longtime.
And as for scale, it absolutely hits all the right buttons for me. Finally, they are not the size of a guardsman or an eldar.
And I assume, like many, this is their real attempt to adjust to True Scale. Who cares about the fluff. No way to do it sooner. Can you imagine the amount of lead it would have taken to do a Primaris/True Scale Terminator back in the day?
-
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Hellblaster_BA_Sergeant_1.jpg)
4th Primaris, Hellblaster Brother Sergeant Gabriel. Another minor conversion. Again a head swap (Mk IV BA), extra grenades and modified backpack (actually a Death Company BP with the exhaust vents of a Primaris).
And the growing force:

Some lovely work on these new Super-Marines, Agis.
:-* :-*
So good, in fact, that you are making me consider picking up a couple for Inq-28, where I think they will fit in perfectly.
8) ;)
-
That latest one might just be my favorite.

Thanks folks!

Ok, I have given in and picked up one of the Lieutenants on ebay.
I shall see how he works out and may grab a few more in future if he fits the bill.

Hi again folks.
Thanks for all the nice comments, here comes the next mini. Took me a bot longer, but I hope you agree it was worth the extra time and effort.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Captain_BA1_1024.jpg)
5th Primaris, Brother Captain Victus. Another conversion.
Again a head swap (BA Tactical Sergeant), sword from a Sanguinary Guard, extra purity seal at wrist,
BA wing on left shoulder pad and the banner. I am happy how the conversion fits together.
And a group shot:

Beautiful Blood angels dude :)
the conversions you've done look amazing, giving me a lot of ideas for conversions on my Smurfs.

Stunning work yet again.
That is turning into a seriously impressive command squad.
:-* :-*

I still have an undying hatred for the goldie-locks emo haircut on the awful Blood Angels heads, but the paintwork and conversion stuff is top notch, as usual Agis. lol
-
THANKS folks! :)

LOL, well they do have a vain almost gayish look. IMO it fits their chapter description very well.
Just wait for my Primaris Jump Pack dude with wings and all... as spangled as it gets...
-
Great conversion Agis! One of your best IMO! 8)
-
Absolutely awesome!! :o :o :o
-
6th Primaris, Inceptor Brother Sergeant Angelus. Another conversion.
Again a head swap (BA Sanguinary Guard), wings from a Sanguinary Guard, grenade and pouch with blood droplet and BA icon on top of the “hood”.
The hood was also a bit shortened to reduce the cover over the head, basically just to make the Mk VII head more visible.
I am very happy how this all came together.

Holy crap! I mean Terra. :D
-
He is good..
Still hating the hood and shields, but you made an outstanding miniature :o
-
I don't like the character figures with their fussy extra bits and wings and swords....especially swords! Hate swords on SF minis....but your painting is absolutely superb Agis.
-
Painting on the new Marine is absolutely lovely.
The wings really don't work though, in my opinion.
~Eric
-
Missed this before but these are stunning 8)
cheers
James
-
Wow!
-
Nice work, as usual. The detailing on the heavy-bolter-pistols is a nice way to break up that big chunk of plastic (the shield and gun don't have a ton of detail so I think that works really well there).
-
Thanks again folks!
The wings really don't work though, in my opinion.
Ahh the wings, I put some serious thought in the positioning...
1st off I have to agree, it looks a bit strange.
Then I looked very seriously how the Sanguinary Guard wings are mounted:
(https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99120101121_BASanguinaryGuard03.jpg)
After that I put the wings into the same position and rotated them 90° upward.
And that's how it looks then. Every other position was even more awkward...
-
Gorgeous work, Agis.
I think the gun shields are an annoying waste of plastic and make 0 sense both aesthetically and "practically." The wings work for me on that model more than the original tho. I mean, the whole 40K thing is OTT Goth-silly anyway but IMO your work gives it a gravity that renders it (almost) reasonable.
Individually, the figs are great. It'll be an outstanding troop when complete.
-
... I mean, the whole 40K thing is OTT Goth-silly anyway ...
Yup, that is the whole idea!
-
impressive paintjobs :o

And that's how it looks then. Every other position was even more awkward...
I don't doubt you took time to try out positioning options. I should say that I don't like the Sanguinary Guard wings either.
For what it's worth, the wings may have worked on top of the exhaust, along the control surface that is jutting out. But you probably tried that and discarded the idea.
And this is all just my opinion anyway. Your models still have fantastic paintjobs.
~Eric
-
Great stuff Agis! Nicely done! 8)
The only thing that doesn't work for me (and it's nothing you could have changed without some major issues) is the spring-loaded ACME jump boots! I hate that design feature more than the useless shields! :?
-
Indeed the mini Needs some "getting used to", after painting it I like it! ;)
-
Threads like this validate their move to larger scale marines. Your figures look fantastic. I loved the comparison with the figures in your first post; They do finally look as they should when compared with "normal" figures. With all of those big. clean plates they beg for mad heraldric designs. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at some of those just for the fun of painting a few.
-
just stunning indeed!
-
Your Sanguinary Guards are very good painted, but these figures do not really fit in the 40K-Universe I think. It seems that too much elves work for GW in the moment....
-

Thanks!
Fluffwise I have to say that these fit PERFECTLY into the new 40K 8th edition background.
I am just in the last pages of the Dark Imperium novel after reading the 3 Gathering Storm books, it all comes together nicely.
:)
I am hooked again...
-
My favorite stories are Ravenor and Eisenhorn, more the Inquisition than the marines. These dark feeling in 40k is perfect, so I do not think Golden Marines with shinny horses do not really fit in. But it is only my opinion. The new plaguemarines are fantastic. Dirty and brutal.
-

Dirty Dirky Strikes Back.

Although I do get your point.
I prefer the grim and darker side of the 40K universe portrayed in the Inquisition novels, along with the Horus Heresy saga to the 'cleaner' stuff too.
;)
Your painting is simply stunning, though, and taken from that view alone it is one of the best collections of 40K models that I have seen,
:-* :-*
-
Thanks Folks!
I was also happy about the BoW feature about my Primaris:
http://www.beastsofwar.com/community-spotlight/blood-angels-norman-warlords-saintly-warrior/
;)
Anyway here is the next Intercessor Primaris:
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Intercessor_BA_2.jpg)
Again only a very minor conversion. I only used MkVII exhaust vents with BA droplets, the droplets were arranged to enhance the dynamic, forward feel of the skirmishing mini.
And as always more on my site:

While I have to agree to your choice of novels (OK, I still love most of the HH books also), I have to disagree about the "do not really fit in". ;)
Maybe your forum name should have given me a hint... lol
Anyway, IMO 40K needs as much Darkness as light, otherwise all would be indistinguishable.
The Plaguemarines are IMO OK, but the always grinning Poxwalkers are just silly.
-
I really am liking your conversions and painting Agis - excellent work.

I think you are right, these new fashioned things like golden marines and poxwalkers are not really great. I started with the old Warhammer and the great Warhammer Fantasy roleplay. Hope they did W40k as Roleplay 15 years earlier. Now 40k feels a little bit over the top and silly, like you mentioned. So I try to pick out the good stuff and ignore the silly stuff. And Mario nes in golden lightning uniforms are silly for me. I like the space dwarfs, they ar missing.

Really awesome paintjob! I wish i could paint as you are doing it ^^!

Your Primaris Marines look amazing. If I hadn't already started painting and converting mine to be a successor of the Space Wolves I would consider doing them up as Blood Angels. Keep up the great work.

STOP! I really don't want to buy any of these...you're making it very difficult.

In my defence, I did also order some GW Dryads to use in my OGAM Greek Dryad conversions.
AND I had a dig in my leadpile and found a new Greek God (Athena), three Harpies, a better Minotaur, and enough 'parts' to make the six Centaurs that I need for the force that Pan will lead.
Not only that but quite a few bits for the Norse when I turn my attention to them.
Not doing too bad at the moment regarding focus.....

Pheewah, ;D 1st squad is done:

All in all I am happy how they look together.
I will now take a short hiatus of the Primaris.
Next will be some retouched Eldar! :)
More as ever: http://www.adpublishing.de/
Ohh BTW - I put up my Captain on CmoN: http://www.coolminiornot.com/415450
If you like them, give me a nice vote! ;)

These are amazing! If I wanted to get some of those blood drip wings you've put on the command shoulders, what should I search for on eBay?

As said on P.6 - "wings from a Sanguinary Guard"

I think he is referring to the tiny wings that are fitted to the left shoulder pads of the command models, rather than the jump pack wings :)

Uuups, sorry no clue, it was in my bitzbox...

To fill up the ranks of my BA Primaris force I contacted Peter of Scars Miniatures again.
As always he did a splendid job.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Hellblaster_1024.jpg)
The guy to the right is from me, the other five are build, converted by me and painted by Peter.
Once painted I slap on the transfers and do some detail work here and there to get the feeling the minis are mine...
;)
More soon.

Another angle of the Primaris Intercessor Brother Marines of the the 2nd company, 3rd squad.
I used a Death Company Backpack on the left Marine, a Servo skull on the Auspex Marine.

I like those sharp edge highlights.
-
Great work Agis, your paint jobs are super 'clean', really like the overall effect.
-
Primaris Reiver Brother Marine of the 2nd company. Again a small minor conversion.
The backpack, left shoulder pad and the helmet is from the Death Company box. I also painted him in DC colours.
While Primaris are not effected by the Black Curse of the Blood Angels I decided that some Reivers will paint their armour as DC to honour their brothers.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Reiver_Group_1024.jpg)
Where the Intercessors are the battle line heavy infantry of the Primaris Astartes, the Reivers are elite assault specialists given special training and wargear.
Reivers are masters of terror tactics, breaking from stealth in a cacophony of Bolter fire, grenade detonations and guttural, Vox-amplified roars.
Fits to DC too! For transfers I used Forge World BA.

BA are IX legion tho
-
Great paintwork, but I have to say - not a fan of the scouty dudes. Only Primaris guys who don't really gel with me. Not sure why - haven't figured it out.
-
thanks Folks.
BA are IX legion tho
Yes, and ???
-
You have an XI on the Reiver's chest plate - I think he thought that was to indicate your Legion.
-
Nice paint Agis! 8) What’s the gun he’s carrying? It’s been a while since I’ve been involved in GW stuff!
-

Ah got it, you might ne right, i used as an individual number.

Grapel gun, used for fast roping ala Batman...;)

Shadowspear arrived, time to paint a Vanguard Infiltrator. ;)
And what chapter fits more to the Vanguard than the Raven Guard…
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Raven_Guard_1.jpg)
Infiltrator Vanguard Marine of the Raven Guard chapter - build right out of the box, only a Mk VI helmet was used. Decals by Forge World.
I more or less speed painted this one, reading the fluff about the Vanguard, they can be a bit less emblazoned as normal Marines.
So I went for a more "real life" in the field look.
More soon: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/primaris.html (scroll down!)
-
Lovely job sir, I much prefer the more realistic look you did here.
Out of interest was it a straight head swop or did you have to GS the head?
-
Good use of the Womble head, it suits it.
-
Thanks folks!

No greenstuff, just glued the Mk VI head on.
-
Cool thanks man, I do love a beakie helm :D
-
Infiltrator Vanguard Marine of the Raven Guard chapter - build as above, my 1st try with Black Templar Contrast paint, I LOVE it, really shaves some time off.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Raven_Guard_3.jpg)

They look great ;)
How did you use the contrast paint on the armor? Two coats and than edge highlights?
-
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Raven_Guard_1.jpg)
I like the lower legs on this model. I have never liked the big bellbottom GW marine legs
-
They look great ;)

I primed the mini in a light grey (GWs grey seer spray primer) that applied one layer of contrast paint, after that pure white edge highlights! Really that easy!
-
Finally finished the Sergeant:

My take on the splendid new Mephiston miniature.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Mephiston-Lord-Of-Death.jpg)
"Mephiston, originally named Calistarius, and also called the "Lord of Death," is the Master of the Librarius and the Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter. He is the only member of the Blood Angels or their Successor Chapters known to have defeated the pull of the Black Rage not once, but twice in his life, regaining his sanity both times. He is a Librarian of potent ability, believed to be one of the mightiest psykers in the entire Imperium of Man.
Yet there are whispers that Mephiston paid a dreadful price for his resurrection, that when he mastered the Black Rage something altogether more terrible took its place. It is to be hoped that such rumours are baseless, mere carrion latching onto greatness, but Mephiston keeps his secrets close, and only time will reveal the truth."
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Mephiston_Group_1024.jpg)
IMO he fits very well into my BA Primaris force...
;)

Dude...
Excellent as usual but those are scary good.
-
Lovely. They certainly did improve the sculpt on the new Mephiston. I forget, is he one of the "Primaris upgraded" character models, or is he still in scale with the older figures? Guessing the former by the group shot, but maybe I'm wrong?
-
Thanks folks!

Primaris size. To be honest I can't stand the old scale Marines anymore...
-
Thanks folks!Primaris size. To be honest I can't stand the old scale Marines anymore...
I don't imagine they'll be around much longer. Not a single new release this edition other than maybe 30K stuff, and by next edition I'd bet they start quietly disappearing.
-
That's a lovely job, is that gold on the cloak freehand or transfers?

ah yes, I've got the salamanders sheet, will probably last me forever the speed I paint.

Nice painting.

I have to admit that is one reason I have not bought any new Games Workshop - I have too many womble sprues (of all flavours) awaiting construction and the rescaling irritates me.

Sigh, same here, I have a ton of 30K stuff around.
The new look is however so much better that I now have difficulties to look at my older Marines...
In addition - I like the story and reasoning of the Primaris Marines, GW pulled a good one here.
-
And some more!
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Primaris_Inceptor_Group_BA1.jpg)
I finally finished my Inceptor Squad! Again head swaps (BA Sanguinary Guard), wings from a Sanguinary Guard, grenade and pouch with blood droplet etc. The hood was also a bit shortened to reduce the cover over the head, basically just to make the Mk VII head more visible. I am very happy how this all came together.
Individually pics on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/primaris.html

They look really good.
-
I went back to 40K after the release of the 9th edition.
Since my Blood Angels still needed some more minis to round them up I painted a Redemptor Easy to build Dreadnought, very nice model and fast paintjob!
No conversion, just a solid paintjob and some BA Heresy era Forge World decals.

Brilliant! :)
What method are you using for the cracked earth bases?

Thanks golks!
What method are you using for the cracked earth bases?
The raised parts are just milliput, after drying i am applying pva glue to the base to have a solid surface for the green stuff world crackle paint.
I am using 1819 mojave mudcrack, then after dryingbeige basing and some flesh wash, then beige drybrush.
