And the last update you'll see on these, until Monday night.

I started the swirls on the bases. The flash washed out the purple a bit, it's not so blue in person (the old liche purple). Probably the hardest part was making sure I switched direction between bases...clockwise versus counterclockwise. I'll hit the edges with a black wash to soften it, then start hitting the middle with lighter hued purples. Then I'll work on the stars on the birds, and after that's done I'll get the stars on the bases, and hopefully I can call them done.

Ended up waking up around 0600, and couldn't fall back asleep, so I decided to work more on the swirls. Just finished getting the highlighting finished on them. Next step in the process will be to do the stars either on the wings or the bases.

Thanks! I'm definitely pleased as well with the progress so far, I was worried going assembly line on these wouldn't go so well.

I'll admit, they look a little disjointed right now with so much purple in the base, and with so little purple on the bird at the moment. It'll start to tie in together more tomorrow night, when I start putting the finishing touches on the birds. I also still need to do a black/purple wash on the edge of the swirls to soften the harshness of that edge of color.

Here's a finished stand of the Furies.



I'm not sure how I feel about the stars on the wings, they may need another coat of wash and then another, smaller dot on top of it. I didn't have room to get a table distance shot. There's 'ardcoat on the base and posts.

Questions, comments, and concerns always welcome!

Thanks, Markconz!

Here's a picture of the rest of them, nearly finished:


I'll get them done this weekend, I believe. I've started working on a secret, non-painting project, that hopefully I get to reveal sometime soon in the next couple of months!

And finally, I found this amusing:

(it came in one of the Tzeentch dice cubes that GW put out, there's a slight divot on the side, and I guess paint got in it during the pip process. It rolls normally, as far as testing has shown!)

Wow! Very unique bases on those furies. You have great ideas. Love the noise marines, looks fiddly to do!
