The Gaunts Make a Field Trip

I returned the mostly painted unit of Gaunts for the Hive Fleet to make a tournament appearance.  More painting updates after they return from their little jaunt.

Unit Nearing Completion

This unit is nearing completion, with only a couple steps in the process left to go.  It also exemplifies why I have stopped doing commission work... The last WIP photo for this army was something like nine months ago.  I really can't commit to that kind of work and have such low output.

Hormagaunt WIP

Getting back to these guys.....

Now that the test model is painted (ages ago) I'm starting to apply the steps to the other 15 gaunts in this unit.  So far they've received a Calthan brown basecoat over black primer, and a drybrush of Deneb stone.

First Gaunt Test Model

First of 16 Hormagaunts. (This is a repost from my blog)

Primed black, heavy overbrush of Calthan Brown

Overbrush Dheneb Stone

Gryphonne Sepia wash

Bleached Bone on flesh areas, mostly ridges. I didn't read the instructions closely enough and started painting bone on the carapace. That's corrected a couple steps from now.

Highlight same areas w/ 50/50 bleached bone / skull white

Mordian Blue base

Stripes of enchanted blue

Highlight strips with 50/50 ice blue/enchanted blue

Joints, eyes, openings to fleshy areas: base lich purple. Highlight warlock purple. Also added skull white to teeth and small specular to eyes.
