Vanguard and Bases


Due to starting a new job and moving, I have once again not accomplished as much as I'd like to have this month. I did finish the first squad of Vanguard, but the second squad has really only been started. If I finish them by the end of the month, then I have June to paint up my last unit, the Corvus Blackstar for the Deathwatch, and then I can get everything else ready (including the display board) in July before the tournament at the end of that month.

For the Vanguard, I used Mephiston Red and then Evil Sunz Scarlet on the main part of the robes, and Ushabti bone on the inside. In keeping with the color palette of the rest of the Mechanicum forces, I used Leadbelcher and Brass Scorpion on the metallic bits. The eyes and weapons have details in Caledor Sky, Lothern Blue, and White Scar.
